– Stokes said he also had “some” Jagerbombs in the Mbargo nightclub.
Nicholas Corsellis, prosecuting, suggested to Stokes that the reason he was having problems remembering exactly what happened that night was because he was “actually really very drunk”.
Stokes replied: “No.”
Co-accused Ryan Ali had drunk six or seven Jack Daniel’s and coke during the course of the night.
When he left Mbargo’s, he was carrying a bottle of beer, which he accepted he must have bought to drink.
