I’m still amazed nobody made more noise about the fact she wasn’t charged.
One can only possibly wonder why the usual suspects complaining about two tier policing and people getting away with crimes (even when convicted with lengthy sentences, yeah makes no sense) when they should be punished didn’t seem too bothered about this.
Sorta not the point. We are talking about the person being accused. So reasonable doubt is in her defence.
It is down to the prosecution to either prove this is false. Or prove she had reason to know it was unsafe for her to drive.
You are right. Is a hitherto episode of epilepsy a good defence for dangerous driving in general?
I guess it could come down to whether or not the person has previous incidents of dangerous driving or they have footage or other evidence to suggest she wasn’t epileptic. If there’s no physical evidence or subsequent seizures. (I know I’m speculating and - you are right - we should assume innocence and that her account is right until shown not to be).
If I remember correctly she said it had never happened before. It would be interesting to know whether it has happened again after and whether she has been driving a car since.
Sure, but isn’t this the sort of thing usually debated and considered at a trial?
Previously it was the CPS choosing not to prosecute.
