WSL: Chelsea coach Emma Hayes has thrown her full support behind Sam Kerr as the Matildas star faces charges of racial harassment.
Sam Kerr spent time behind bars on the night of her alleged incident with a police officer, it has emerged.About 3am on the night in question, the Chelsea striker allegedly vomited in a taxi, was involved in a dispute about the taxi fare, and allegedly called an attending police officer a “stupid white bastard”., however, has since reported Kerr’s legal team will argue she said the phrase “stupid white cop” during the incident.
Kerr’s legal team is reported to have asked the Kingston Crown Court last week for any CCTV footage from outside a Twickenham station or from inside the custody suite to be provided to them. According to News Corp, Kerr’s legal team is also yet to receive footage taken from two police body cam clips. Kerr’s team has also requested the audio or transcript that was recorded from the interview Kerr did with police while being held in police custody.
It has now been revealed Kerr was also warned by the judge about delaying any decision to change her plea to guilty — should that change of plea occur.
