Cousins In Crisis Continued

OK I'm just about to head off for a day of shopping (Wohoo! I love being a girl!) but before I go, I just wanted to quickly update you guys on the Ben Cousins controversy. The charges made by Perth police have been dropped due to the fact that the substances found in Cousins' car and his pocket, a type of prescription sedative, was in tablet form and in Western Australia, a person may only be charged if they possess the drug in a liquid, injectable form.
Cousins' lawyer is urging the former-West Coast superstar to pursue all legal options, including sueing the WA police for defamation- after all, it was these false charges that led to West Coast sacking the star player.
Cousins' lawyer said yesterday: "I will strongly advise my client to pursue all legal channels open to him," Mr Brennan said. "From the charges led so far, I'd suggest police have jumped the gun."
I will keep you posted on this case and all further updates...


Have a good weekend!!

BTW, Ben, would it be too much to ask for you to do up all the buttons on your shirt, tuck it into your pants and throw on a tie and jacket for your APPEARANCE IN COURT?! And maybe consider getting a good night's sleep and cleaning yourself up a bit before an important and potentially life-changing event such as this. Come on Ben, I really want to support you and a lot of the rest of the country is trying to do the same thing but why should we make the effort if you can't even pull it together for court?!?
