bloody hell, this is heavy. hope the families get some justice but feels like there's more to this story

Sophie Ngata2026-07-02T00:43:57.000Z

you're right, mate. but that's the system they're in now. hope they get proper legal help

Casey Adams2026-07-02T00:55:57.000Z

Kiwi coaches charged with homicide? In the Philippines? Yeah nah I bet the legal system over there is a circus. Wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it.

Drew Parker2026-07-02T01:03:57.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed with that attitude. two people died, it's not a circus

Drew Parker2026-07-02T01:12:57.000Z

Oh wow, Tab Baldwin? The basketball guy? Didn't see that coming. Wonder what actually went down.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-02T01:52:57.000Z

homicide charges?? don't jump to conclusions people. innocent until proven guilty yeah?

Casey Adams2026-07-02T02:45:57.000Z

lol 'innocent until proven guilty' sure but that doesn't mean they're innocent. let the facts come out

Phoenix Reid2026-07-02T02:00:57.000Z

this is gonna be a long drawn out legal battle if they're actually charged. those Philippine courts move slower than cold molasses

Casey Adams2026-07-02T02:16:57.000Z

wonder if our government will step in or just leave them to rot overseas like they always do 🤔

Phoenix Reid2026-07-02T02:50:57.000Z

facts. they always drag their feet with these international cases
