Jamil Hopoate pleads guilty to cocaine supply

[Jerry1]

"Just" the 8 kilos? Just a mere 8 kilos???
Fyi the max penalty for supply of a large commercial quantity is imprisonment for life - and a large commercial quantity of cocaine is defined as 1kg or more...

Death sentence in Thailand.........

What a total waste of Kidney's lungs & a heart... He could have been a million dollar footy player but reverted to a thug & a drug dealer... Now my taxes are going to be wasted keeping this guy in clink.

In the Foxsports article, it mentioned Jamile has been living with brother Will while on bail. They did well linking it to manly.

“The 27-year-old was granted bail in July last year with strict conditions, including that he live with his brother Will and he only leave the former Manly star’s Gledswood Hills home in the company of various family members.”

Thought Will was now based in England and playing in the SL..?

Interesting...Will played fullback for St Helens in the Super League last weekend. Me thinks Fox Sports have got it wrong, unless there's another brother called Will.

Not really surprised. There was talk a cpl years ago when he was playing QCup that he was the man to see for large quantities of nose candy.

I guess that's why he wants to argue the amount he was caught with (according to the article).

"I'm guilty, but I only threw away 500 grams when the cops were chasing me, not the 8 kilos that they also found along my 'running route' that has been chemically matched to be exactly the same as the other half tonne."


-Judge sighs deeply.

That's a bit harsh.

I went down a rabbit hole looking for how many Hoppa kids there are and who this could (it is almost like a journo could not be bothered and wrote a sloppy article)

Found some interesting stuff (non Jmil related)

Albert could been anything asa kid...shows how much luck is involved in getting to the top grade

Watching some of the 95/6 stuff Hoppa Snr was a gun player...with a little rubbish in his game

Seems like yesterday he was in for his first stint. In Manly we trust.

15 kids in the family, so there is a good chance there is a Will No.2

There are only a few boys names in the English language so that is understandable

 

[StuBoot]

Sentenced to 3 years and 9 months in gaol

 

[MissKate]

And he was only supposed to be getting paid $7k for his role in the deal. What a complete idiot

Will copped that sentence, what'd he do wrong haha

 

[cc eagle]

Will listened to his Dad

 

[47MVEagle]

He’s a very lucky boy, 3.9 years for 8kgs of bugle is pretty light

 

[Ned]

Will listened to his Dad

Yeah, that should be a felony for sure.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Damn Gledswood Hills - that's Camden Way, how does Will consider that a home and not a prison?

Interesting that he chooses to live there, presumably to live near his extended-extended family, rather than the overextended family in Narraweena.
