I can`t recall if he was convicted or not. Green suffered a fractured scull and brain damage. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/teen-guilty-of-manslaughter-in-rugby-death#post-301 Sun, 31 May 2009 20:44:02 +0000 winger14 301@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>Agreed. First time I remember seeing it is in an NHL game years ago between the Leafs and Flyers. I think one of the Flyers was charged with assault...Then of course you had Marty McSorley and Donald Brashear.</p> <p>It means when tragic incidents like this happen all parties will need to have their facts straight.</p> <p>Winger14 </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/teen-guilty-of-manslaughter-in-rugby-death#post-297 Sat, 30 May 2009 17:13:23 +0000 Faust 297@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>IMHO it is the first time that a criminal conviction has happened in a sport event. So the level implications of actions of the players has turned. Thus the effect of one players action can turn out to be a criminal act. The ref is there to witness it and speak out against in a court of law.</p> <p>It might has always been there, but the Canadian court system is starting to be more noticeable on the playing grounds. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/teen-guilty-of-manslaughter-in-rugby-death#post-292 Sat, 30 May 2009 03:35:44 +0000 Harry Craig 292@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>How is it going affect referees in your opinion Faust. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/teen-guilty-of-manslaughter-in-rugby-death#post-286 Thu, 28 May 2009 22:30:50 +0000 Faust 286@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/teen-guilty-of-manslaughter-in-rugby-death/article1157486/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/teen-guilty-of-manslaughter-in-rugby-death/article1157486/</a></p> <p>It is going to change the implications for the Referee for the game. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/teen-guilty-of-manslaughter-in-rugby-death#post-285 Thu, 28 May 2009 20:58:53 +0000 admin 285@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>What a tragedy all around. </p>
