We can all make comparisons with other cases involving motorists, but in this instance, the jury came to the correct decision in finding the defendant not guilty of manslaughter, and guilty of wanton and furious cycling, and the Judge has shown herself to be extremely fair and considered in her sentencing.
What I don't understand is the victim's husband calling for a change in the law. There is a perfectly good law already in place which it has been possible to obtain a conviction through. Why do we need a change?

I think the judge got the sentencing right, but fuck me, I've read some really well written and considered sentencing remarks but that's some pompous drivel. Wouldn't have thought the ex girlfriend's comments re Charlie being controlling were hugely relevant.
