One for our law experts. I heard on local radio a young local lad, has been told in court he is to expect a jail sentence for death by dangerous driving, after killing a 12 year old, whilst showing off in his car. The driver was a new driver.
But it seems to me that our legal system is just so inconsistent in court outcomes. How often do we hear of bikers been knocked off bikes and being killed and the driver gets a slap on the wrists and a fine.
I realise it depends on the charging of the defendent in the first place as regards how the case proceeds. But it even sometimes seems to come down to the area of the country differs wildly as well as regards sentencing outcomes.
Can anyone help with my query?
