Chelsea player Sam Kerr has been acquitted of racially aggravated harassment after a trial regarding her comments directed at a police officer. The incident, occurring on January 30, 2023, followed a night out where she and her partner were involved in a dispute with a taxi driver. Despite admitting to using the phrase "stupid and white" towards Officer Pc Lovell, Kerr defended her remarks as a critique of his authority rather than a racial insult. The jury took around four hours to deliver a not guilty verdict, amid comments from the judge about her behavior contributing to the incident.
I feel the message was still relevant despite the way I expressed myself during the heated exchange with the officer that night.
The jury found me not guilty, and I respect their decision even though the judge remarked my behavior significantly contributed to the charges.
