0:00 - 0:10 SUBWAY LEAGUE CUP! Chelsea beat West Ham! No Girma yet! But Keira started!
0:21 Arsenal vs. Man City today! For the spot in the Finals!
0:34 In a perfect world, Sam and Kristie would be playing against each other in this game (minus the injury and pregnancy), but they were in court.
0:50 Parallel universe situation.
1:08 The news coming out of the UK is not great. Sam Kerr's trial is going on.
1:24 This won't be the most up-to-date, but still, some bombshell information has come out!
1:42 We read from an article about what caused this whole situation to go down (Sam called someone "white").
3:06 This trial isn't about a smashed window or even getting drunk; it's about calling the PC "white" and how it made him feel.
3:35 Timeline of events: They went to dinner, got a cab ride home, Sam threw up, and the cab driver locked them in the cab because she threw up.
4:00 He trapped them in there. There was a disagreement about paying for cleanup.
4:40 Why did he roll up the window when she was throwing up?!
5:10 Holding them hostage, he called the police. Sam and Kristie smashed the window because they thought they were being kidnapped.
5:42 The police told him to drive them to the police station, but he didn't let Sam and Kristie know that. He was driving 20 minutes to another part of London, and they had no idea where they were going.
6:05 He was driving very erratically. Sam did call the cops! She got through once, but other times she was hung up on.
6:25 Kristie broke the window; they were in danger!
6:51 In court, Sam referenced a girl being killed recently in London. Also, in Perth, a cab driver was thought to have been a serial killer. So she was scared!
7:29 They finally got to the police station. When they got there, they were very upset, being held against their will and very scared. But the police officer, PC Lovell, didn't seem to care or even believe them!
8:00 Sam Kerr was upset and was drunk, but still was held hostage. The Cops were not Not supportive at all.
8:20 They didn't believe she called the police, but there was a police recording in the courtroom of her call! They lied!
8:40 At some point, the officer said she was going to pay for the window, and Sam was upset, so she said no since she was so upset.
9:00 At some point, she did say she would, but at first, it was "hell no."
9:25 Why she got charged: When the police were not believing her at the police station, she called them "white" and "stupid."
10:10 He put her under arrest for criminal damage and racially aggravated public order.
10:30 The next day, she went back for an interview. She apologized to the cop the next day. At first, she didn't remember saying "white" but they played her the body cam footage, and she said she was drunk, so she didn't remember.
11:09 When Officer Lovell first gave statements to the CPS, he never mentioned being called "white" and how it made him feel.
11:27 At first, the CPS was not going to charge Kerr. Eleven months later, PC Lovell said he was humiliated because Sam called him "white" and "stupid."
12:24 The only reason he made that statement was because the CPS declined to charge Sam. Shady.
12:45 Shady. If it hurt him so deeply, why did he wait 11 months to say anything?
13:17 He was power-hungry and wanted to show her. Also, she was famous, and he wanted to take her down—she was playing at the World Cup.
13:57 When Sam went into the police station, she felt she was treated badly since she is not white.
14:22 Kristie was the one who broke the window, but they wanted to arrest Sam for it because she is the non-white person?
15:05 That was her mindset when she brought up the "white" issue. Non-white people historically are not treated well by people in power.
15:30 This trial is literally not even about the window (that was settled with the cab driver). It's about Sam calling PC Lovell "white!"
15:44 Sam admitted she was drunk and front-footed aggressive (protective Kristie too).
15:08 Taking so much UK tax dollars to deal with these issues.
16:38 There are many people who think she was being racist and that this is justified.
17:00 Sarah and I don't agree with that. There are people who believe that and people who don't.
17:23 She apologized. She felt bad.
17:35 I can't imagine a jury finding her guilty, but we live in an upside-down world right now, so who knows? Also, she could spend 26 weeks in jail for this.
18:05 We found out they are having a baby boy! So pumped for them, but sad we had to find out this way (for them). Also, they are getting married in December 2025 (and the baby is due in May).
18:50 Sam had to explain what "sliding into the DMs" meant to the judge—lol.
19:21 Ruins the baby moment for them—two years of their life!
19:45 This is the consequence of her actions (getting drunk and calling him "stupid"). I get that. But the punishment doesn't seem to meet the crime.
