Sam Kerr, the captain of the Matildas and a Chelsea striker, was found not guilty of racially aggravated harassment after an incident during a taxi ride. The police accused her of using derogatory language towards an officer, but a jury ruled in her favor after a four-hour deliberation. Kerr expressed relief and gratitude for the support from her fiancée Kristie Mewis and others, emphasizing her focus on returning to football and moving beyond this challenging experience.
I have always maintained that I did not intend to insult or harm anyone and I am thankful that the jury unanimously agreed.
Following today's not guilty verdict, I can finally put this challenging period behind me. I am fully focused on getting back on to the pitch.
