The Dockers' counsel, Nick Tweedie QC, successfully argued that Walters pulled Lockhart towards him by the jumper and their forehead contact was incidental from that movement.
Tweedie also claimed the contact was not sufficient to be graded low impact.
The jury deliberated for only four minutes - after a 71-minute hearing - before delivering a verdict the headbutt was not intentional.
Two things to note there.
i, we went with a QC. Very slime like or is that standard procedure?
ii. jury deliberated for four minutes.
