In the news

The next step is sentencing, that is likely to provoke another round of media agitation. While we can think of dozens of cases of apparently reckless and fatal driving that don't lead to a prosecution it is hard to find a comparable case involving a cyclist.
This type of fatality is so rare I can only find one. After a crash in 2014 Darryl Gittoes was sentenced to 12 months jail on conviction for causing bodily harm by wanton or furious cycling. In my opinion there was a higher level of "criminality" compared to Charlie Alliston's case.

A cyclist involved in a fatal collision with a pedestrian in Hereford city centre has been jailed for 12 months after pleading guilty to causing bodily harm by wanton or furious driving. He had been riding a defective bike recovered from a scrap metal lorry in an area where cycling was prohibited when the incident took place.
The CPS said that Gittoes’ bike, recovered from a scrap metal lorry, had no brakes, a deflated rear tyre, a cracked front tyre and no bell.

Mary Evans, 73 died seven days later.
