Yeah just replied about that in another thread - really really would like to know why he wasn't done for causing death by dangerous driving - but obviously there wasn't enough evidence for that

I wonder why. Haven't they found the injured/dead child? Or was no realtion made between his driving and the death of the child? How come the incident with that child and his trial were mentioned in one article?

Bodo: unless the CPS can prove beyond reasonable doubt - they ain't going to go for it. Theres more here than meets the eye. Bloody frustrating and I can bet the plod who were called to the scene and interviewed all the people are really pissed off.

Remember reading about this in national press just after Xmas.

Insulting to think we will be footing the bill for his jail term as well. Hope he has hard time from other inmates!

I think I get it now: the driver admitted everything (driving without all the legal stuff, being at the scene at the time of the accident) expect causing/having the accident, and CPS couldn't evidence it was him?

If the immigration laws had teeth and he had been deported when his appication failed the Bastard would not have been in the country and the little boy would be alive today. we have enough of a problem with our own unlicence and uninsured drivers without importing them and then not making them leave when we decide they are not welcome.
It makes my blood boil.

Lost in the frenzy............

"Reading a statement outside court, Paul Hayward, of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), said: "Although the road accident involving Mr Kadri resulted in the tragic death of Callum, the evidence shows that his death was not caused by either dangerous or careless driving."

So the fault lies with the person who allowed the kids to roam the roads..........?

It's just not right.





mrs fish im shocked that you could put such a short,sweet and direct reply,i was absolutely pishing blood out of my eyes when i read this.this is typical of chichester magistrates court,they are the weakest bunch of w*****s i have ever seen.its just the same in chichester crown court too,there was a very young girl abused and murdered a few years ago on a caravan site in selsey (the bunn leisure site for those who know the place) and the so-called mother and step-father who did it got such low sentances that they were warned (in court) that if they ever stepped into the selsey/chichester area ever again they would be found dead within 24hrs.ive even heard of the magistrates court handing out £100 fines for no insurance/mot/license before.....they are a bunch of senile,backward,inbread and weak fools.

this scumbag should have been sent to crown,not dealt with at a pathetic magistrates court like chi as he was an illegal immigrant and he committed manslaughter (he may not have meant to kill but he was in control of a deadly weapon without a license,etc and driving dangerously)...personally i would have seen him get a min of 10yrs and no remission......then sent back to his own country with the clause that if he ever stepped foot in britain again that he would be re-arrested and put inside for the rest of his life.

if i had any say in the matter

1.no insurance fines need to come up BIGTIME.....so how about 10k per offence paid for there and then or straight to jail until the debt has been repaid (at £10 a week whilst inside) with interest charged at 12% apr on that too!

2.for the offence of no licence/driving whilst disq it would be a 20k fine paid there and then or straight to jail until the debt has been repaid (at £10 a week whilst inside)

3.death of an innocent due to dangerous driving would be a minimum 10yr sentance with no remission and a 5k fine with an additional 50k being paid by the perp to the family through the gvt....gvt pay family,scumbag pays gvt...if scumbag cant pay then off to prison they go!

sensible policies for a happier britain!

You were so shocked you had to re-iterate the point twice?

I too was so gobsmacked when I read it, I couldn't put any of my thoughts into anything remotely literate at the time.

Until the people involved in the criminal justice system stop having their humanity ripped out of their hearts by the system that educates them to belive that "the law" is the most important thing, not justice, we will continue to see more of these types a sentences. It may be true that there was no evidence that would stand up in court to prove his guilt on dangerous driving so they don't bother to try, but the facts of the case are that a life was lost caused by the fact he A should not have been here B should not have been driving. To most normal people who haven't been priviliged to have the education to enable them to participate in the game barristers etc play that is enough to bang him away for a long long time. I really wonder how these people involved in our so called justice system can live with theselves.
