See what I mean? Kill on a road and you get away with, kill somewhere
else and you are for it. Our judicial system sucks!

"The contact lens killer: Short-sighted driver who ran over a
grandmother is fined JUST £50

A young driver who escaped with a small fine after killing a
pedestrian had been wearing out-of-date contact lenses.

Jamie Wood, 21, hit 61-year-old grandmother Lesley Lomax as she
crossed the road.

He told police he saw her too late to avoid a collision and was
charged with driving without due care and attention. He was fined £50.

Although Wood had not been speeding and was not under the influence or
drink or drugs, Mrs Lomax's devastated family had expected him to
receive a severe punishment.

Her widower John, 66, said he was stunned when Wood was punished with
less than the cost of a speeding ticket for knocking down and killing
his wife of 38 years.

'I feel angry at him and I just feel that he has got away with it
almost scot-free,' said Mr Lomax, a retired miner.

What explanation do you give in this particular case then?

But I'm fucking glad that the blind twat's decided to give up driving.
Let's hope he sticks to that.

Were you seriously expecting ANYBODY to say "No, that penalty is about
right!"? If so, you're out of luck.

The law has now been changed, Gollum. I would have thought you would
be pleased with that ...

How on earth would you know, Gollum? You think that Adomako, the
leading case on manslaughter by gross negligence, is concerned only
with corporate manslaughter. How on earth can you expect to be taken
seriously on this when you know absolutely nothing about the subject?
