The Rohan Dennis thread

[Savant12]

Sorry Rackham but it's just you jumping to conclusions in this thread. In your own words, "read the room", mate!

There won't be 'happy end' for Rohan Dennis. He's done for.

Of course not. Even if he's not charged with murder, his wife is still dead.

 

[Rackham]

You are the one quoting me...

Im not even arguing.

Im trying to limit my interaction with you. You keep coming back.

FYI. You are coming off bad in every topic this weekend.

I'm arguing the points, you're arguing me.

If someone kills his wife by dangerous driving, I don't need the internet to tell me when I can or cannot label the guy an assh*le.

The other topic isn't even worth bringing up here. Oh & FYI, as long standing posters here we get to know each other quite well, at least in forum terms. It's not like you're a stranger when it comes to speculation, is it? Or do I need to go through the clinic section of the forum to remind you? i.e. on topics which I actually agreed with you, FYI.

Wise words.

Good bless rohan dennis? Are you kidding?

Well, we don‘t know yet exactly what happened there.

With Rohan apparently being such a complicated character, I of course now hope he won‘t get depressive and so on.

which is different from the initial reports of hot head Dennis voluntarily killing his wife.

What is known of his emotional issues, connected with the problematical relationship he has had with his teams over the years, inevitably fuels speculations about mental instability and the more or less criminal intentions behind the act. Unfortunately social media has unleashed a public court, which, driven by raw emotions cultivated by the platform itself, adhears to a different set of rules than due process, but this is inevitable in the age of being uniquitously connected virtually and the soap opera style with which everybody seeks visibility. In the end, a troubled soul now has a massive burden to bear, for his children, the family and friends of his deceased wife, and himself. A psychotic individual will perhaps feel little, one on the limits of sanity maybe suicidal regret.

first twitter account I checked was @300wNeilW and he reposted a tweet sent to him by @psuedo_science. I knew Neil would be on it
Neil is a twitter antidoper who just posts doping related news and controversy related tweets. psuedo_science is a twitter antidoper.
and yes, they never were Dennis fans, au contraire...

 

[laarsland]

Can’t you all muse on Remco’s impending TdF-win/disaster instead of this? I don’t think anyone has anything to offer, especially at this point in time.

 

[movingtarget]

Maybe wait for the full facts. Just a thought............

 

[Red Rick]

I think this discussion has just about run it's course.

Reopening this thread.

Note:- Please do not allow this to become a debate about the correctness of the sentence or any other crime and justice issues.

Former world champion Rohan Dennis avoids jail for the death of Melissa Hoskins

This judicial decision comes after being declared guilty of a charge of "aggravated act likely to cause harm"

en.brujulabike.com

The accident occurred on December 30, 2023 in Adelaide, when 34-year-old Dennis was driving the vehicle involved in the incident. The couple, who had two children together, had an argument before the athlete decided to leave the house to calm the tension.

According to Judge Ian Press, Hoskins climbed onto the hood of the car with the apparent intention of preventing her husband from leaving. Dennis drove for six to ten seconds at an approximate speed of 20 km/h, covering about 75 meters, before Hoskins got off the vehicle and walked alongside it. At that moment, she opened and closed the car door without it stopping, and it was then that Dennis accelerated, apparently intending to leave the scene.
"The court acknowledges that you are not charged with directly causing the death of your wife," Judge Press stated during the hearing at the Adelaide District Court. "However, the previous acts - driving with her on the hood and then not stopping when you knew she was next to the car - do constitute the offense for which you are being sentenced."

Prosecutors accepted that Dennis was not aware that Hoskins was still next to the vehicle when he resumed driving. It was at that moment that she fell and suffered the injuries that led to her death.

The judge recognized Dennis's anguish, his acceptance of responsibility, and his current role as the sole caregiver of his children, factors that weighed in the decision to suspend the sentence. In addition, Dennis agreed to comply with a two-year good behavior bond, valued at 100 Australian dollars.

"The obligation was to stop the vehicle when driving became dangerous for your wife," the judge ruled. "Not doing so out of the desire to leave is not an acceptable justification."

The tragic death of Melissa Hoskins shocked the Australian and international cycling world, while the justice system has tried to address a painful case that mixes personal drama with complex legal implications.

Thank you for explicating the facts here. Any speculation or accusation that doesn't fit the facts can not be motivated by any care for what is true.
