Clearly there is far more evidence in the case than is being presented by the press
Why so? It's gone to a crown court so surely what happened is now a matter of public record?

Yes, it will be public record. But the press is very selective about what it actually reports. Plus those reports keep getting updated through the day. Her lack of remorse & the judge's summing up weren't on the reports earlier either I note. It wasn't the best way to put what I was getting at, I admit. But some of the reporting has read as very anti-cyclist (surprise), appearing to blame the poor victim.

Awful for all involved - especially the family. It seems some of that stretch of path is claimed by Cambs council as a cycle route separate from the road. But I don't think it's clear which side of the road they mean and, having driven/walked round there a good few times recently, I don't remember any shared space signage being present nearby. Clearly there is far more evidence in the case than is being presented by the press - especially since the bar for a manslaughter charge is pretty high. It's all very sad and appears to have been very avoidable.
