MR T must have only just gone in as I saw him at Powercruise last year I think. So if he is doing 7 - 9 years we wont se him around for a while. Mel on the other hand, havent seen her for at least 5 years.

Brett Stevens offered my dads mate a job at jacks daniels racing but turned it down as he didnt like the way brett treated his staff etc... Lucky he was turning down the job or he would be arrested too... my dads mate didnt even know anything about him doing drugs or anything...the job was all about working for him for the drag racing

Open Letter From Brett Stevens
To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter to explain to you the situation that has arisen this past week. I understand that numerous national news channels and publications around Australia have led the public to believe that I was caught with on my property, or in my possession, a large quantity of drugs,drug manufacturing apparatus, and huge amounts of cash, amongst other illegal items.
This is totally and utterly false and a great deception that is once again an attempt to destroy my character or what is left of it.
As proof to verify that these implications are completely false, I have included with this letter the property receipts from the police themselves, of what was actually removed from my properties in which there is nothing illegal in regards to any of it.
Note:
1/ There was absolutely no drugs or evidence of drugs found or removed from any of my properties as was portrayed to the public by the media and police.
2/ There was absolutely no drug manufacturing equipment, pill presses or anything else that relates to the manufacture of illicit drugs found or removed from any of my properties.
3/ There were no large amounts of money found or removed from any of my properties.The only money taken was approximately ten thousand dollars which was from my daughters Skye�s money box, the cash floats from our merchandise trolleys, merchandise that my wife Kath had sold on e-bay, one days banking from our business and some money that Kath and her family had put aside for her brothers head stone on his grave.
I don�t mind admitting that financially it is has been a tough time of late, but if I was this person that is being portrayed, would I be in the financial difficulty that I am in now? I wish I had the millions of dollars in cash they said I had and then I would pay off all my creditors.I don�t want you to feel sorry for me, but what I do want is for you to think about the person that you know and have dealt with for the past number of years and please don�t judge me on the unjust �trial-by-media� that I have received. I don�t know how, but I need to get the truth out there as to what really happened, and I would appreciate any help in regards to this.
In closing, this is going to be a very tough time for my family and I hope that none of you will think badly of them and will give them the support they deserve. Please spare a thought for Kath and Skye as they are the most important things in my life.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Brett Stevens

Hmmmm...How come he is out on bail and has had his passport confiscated then?...The media reports what has happened/said in the court and charges laid...surely if they have reported fales accusations they arses would be in a sling from a liability point of view with massive costs due to defamation?
Police NORMALLY don't make an arrest unless their case is rock solid..especially in Qld after the last few disasters they have had and made to look like fools....I will wait until the case is heard but think he is blowing in the wind.....

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Best to not speculate too much and see what pans out.

His letter is pretty vague... Its just saying "Believe me, I'm innocent" You would have thought he would have offered an explanation to why the cops arrested him. Not just accuse them of getting the wrong guy.
As rory said, cops wont make an arrest unless they have 100% hard evidence and proof. Its not like the US where crims get off easy because the cops stuffed up the investigation... Cops here are criticised for not acting fast enough because they don't have enough evidence!
Love to pics you put up Gary, great stuff! LOL

Along with the letter on other sites there are 2 "reports" of what was taken from the properties.
I found this comment interesting .. "In closing, this is going to be a very tough time for my family and I hope that none of you will think badly of them and will give them the support they deserve." If he is innocent wouldnt he be asking people to "not think badly" of him and his family?

Wanna bet?
If that is the case, why are some people found 'not guilty'?
Don't say because they have a good lawer!

Because they have a good lawyer... Or they were blackmailed, or they were extremely unlucky to have all the evidence go against them (normally they had broken numerous other laws though in getting to that point)

Quote from my solicitor: The magistrate is not going to say in court that the police are lying!
He didn't.....they did.....guess who wore the pineapple?
That was the same day my misguided faith in the judicial system was crushed!

hey the cops here have known to muck up the investigation i know because some of my family have been to court only to get thrown out because the cops could not get their story straight.now these fellow family members were caught red handed but still the cops stuffed it up.
Thanks Hayden

There is a difference between being caught red handed, & being verbalised.
Mr Stevens says no drugs/equiptment was removed from any of his properties. I wonder what the charges are?
As for the whole 'innocent until proven guilty', i would say more than a few forumers from this & other forums have already booked the gallows.
Cheers, Col.

I cant read half that stuff, is there anything exciting on it?
The most I can make out is cash, laptops, phones and some paperwork.
no drug gear?
then where did the pill presses come into it?
