Sam Kerr is 'shy' and 'level-headed' off the pitch, friends tell racial harassment trial

ABC  

Sam Kerr is a "shy" and "reserved" person away from the spotlight, friends of the footballer accused of racially aggravated harassment have told court. Defending her comments at Metropolitan Police Constable Stephen Lovell, Ms Kerr told the court she became "very angry" and had felt the officer was treating her differently due to the colour of her skin. On day five of the trial, the prosecution summed up its case against Ms Kerr, asking to jury to consider if she had called a black police officer "stupid and black". In court yesterday, Ms Kerr denied using the officer's "whiteness" as an insult, instead saying she was making a comment about the officer's "power" and "privilege". Ms Hayes's statement said that Ms Kerr is "calm and level-headed when things get heated" and someone "every teammate and coach would put on their team."
