The testimony of ACT Policing’s Sgt David Power quickly unravelled under questioning in court, in the latest major embarrassment for the territory
With that admission from ACT Policing’s Sgt David Power, a high-profile case brought by police against the NRL stars Latrell Mitchell and Jack Wighton fell apart. Under questioning, Power was forced to admit on Tuesday that his version of events leading to the pair’s arrest outside Canberra’s Fiction nightclub in February never happened.When news of the arrests made headlines in February, it was presented as yet another case of footy players behaving badly.
Mitchell’s lawyer, Tom Taylor of Hugo Law Group, said it showed Wighton “blowing someone a kiss, waving them goodbye and giving them a hug”. “Please, my shoulders! Please! I’ve done nothing wrong,” Mitchell says in the footage. “Because I’m a blackfella?” he asks officers at one point.
