Sam Kerr’s defence has argued that PC Stephen Lovell has exaggerated his feelings in order to get a criminal charge over the line, after the Chelsea striker called him ‘stupid’ and ‘white’.
The 31-year-old football star is standing trial for racially aggravated abuse towards PC Stephen Lovell at Twickenham Station in the early hours of January 30, 2023.
The court heard yesterday how Ms Kerr and her fiancée, Kristie Mewis, had taken a taxi home after a night out on the evening of January 29, but had ended up getting into an argument with the driver during the journey.
