The last thing Saints need is having a player convicted of a crime such as this. Saints legend Barry Lavety was recently convicted of drink driving and banned for a year, so it seems its open season on Saints players at the present. Hopefully the judge will come to the right conclusion, and hopefully that will be that Kirk is innocent.
The incident took place over a year ago. You can read about it at http://www.saintmirren-mad.co.uk/news/loadnews.asp?cid=TMNW&id=115678 Apparently there is a long running feud between Broadfoot and his family and the family of the victim.
