Sentencing put back to 15th December.

[BossHogg]

Just heard that the judge who dealt with the case is still ill, so sentencing has been postponed until 19th January.

Lets him enjoy his last Xmas meal for a some loooong time.

What a moby!

I know he’s on bail, but isn’t that unusual where a custodial sentence is likely?

Not particularly. I heard of a recent case where a man found guilty of paying for the sexual services of a child (aged 17) was bailed for sentencing in order to put his affairs in order.

His description of what happened before the crash is basically that he was pootling along at 65 and suddenly got knocked off course by a gust of wind. Sure. Tebay is constantly wet (my old house used to overlook J38) and the conditions on the day were described as “horrible”. Standing water was reported and his average speed was above 80, doesn’t take a genius does it!

I don’t hang about on the motorway and I know the general speed i’d have to sit at to average 83mph on a lightly trafficked road driving a medium distance journey like that.

Doing that sort of speed in the tipping rain is madness in itself, let alone while texting.

People simply don’t realise how easy it is to aquaplane and shunt it. Even now he might not even realise why he crashed.

Apparently the TV program Helicopter heroes on the Really channel is about the RTC which killed my mucker is on Monday.

[BossHogg]

The program was Helicopter ER, just watched it, it was very dusty in my living room.

Justice at last, RIP Adam, gone but not forgotten mucker.

Morrison admitted careless driving, yet denied that dangerous driving caused Mr Gibb's death and Mr Holroyd's serious injuries.


I hope he dies on the last day of his sentence.

[IroningMan]

Some closure, at least, I hope, for those affected.

Thoughts to family and friends of those affected by this.

A needless waste.

Utter contempt for this muppet.

That is all.

Solicitors comment

"He can't find the words to explain to his son where daddy is going to go, and he will never get that time back that he has lost, or will lose, when he is sent to custody today,"

Absolute scum, still only thinking about himself

Not justice in my opinion but it is what it is.

Has there been any fundraising for the victim’s family e.g. Justgiving?
