Chelsea footballer Sam Kerr called Met Police officer 'stupid and white', trial hears

  • Chelsea striker Samantha Kerr called a Met Police officer "stupid and white" during an incident at a police station in south-west London, as per footage from the officer's body camera.
  • Prosecution barrister Bill Emlyn Jones KC told the jury that Kerr's comments left PC Lovell "shocked, upset, and humiliated".
  • Grace Forbes, defending Kerr, said "simple words, even words like these, do not make you guilty of a criminal offence" and claimed the words were "a comment, however poorly expressed, about positions of power, about privilege, and how those things might colour perception".
