Interesting, thanks. --- Whilst previously, offences resulting in serious injury which occurred as a result of a driving offence could be charged under section 20 or section 35 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 (OAPA 1861), Parliament has decided that a more focused approach which...

No need at all. I work with RTA's and liability (with the occasional look into Civil cases) and I'm interested in the Criminal courts/sentencing. So I was just interested in hearing your opinion, having worked in the courts. :cheers: Hoping whoever the perpetrator is gets the maximum sentence...

I'm talking about Charging GBH (Max 5) alongside Dangerous Driving (Max 2). For anyone else interested and unaware, S20 = Section 20 of the Offences against the Person Act 1861. Case references: R v Collins [2010] 1 Cr.App.R.(S.) 35 - D pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and to causing...

Thoughts happypig ?

But the aggravated vehicle taking is an entirely separate offence to the injury caused to the victim. Also, there's no AVT if the current suspect is the perpetrator (if it's a story/fob). He lives in a block of flats so not a wise move! :whistle:

The age matches, so it's likely as there's only 1 Adam McDermott listed openly in the BN postcode area (open source). Good digging.

Bit of a coincidence that the car-thief was driving back towards the suspects house.

We'll see. I don't imagine he'll get any positive character references/witnesses after some further Facebook digging.

Adam McDermott FB Link Maintaining his innocence (last post). Just curious as to why he was hiding on the roof whilst his Mum stopped the OB going in for him though. All open source info - for reference.

Smashing it home, only half a mile away. Allegedly.

Do you work in the courts? 7 years max, Dangerous driving combined with GBH. 14 years if a fatality has occurred. Don't forget the GBH when sentencing. My money's on 5 years.

53 year old Female - Bailed 31 year old Male - Still in custody. The Argus - Update

I don't know how to interpret it. YESTERDAY: Sussex arrested a 31 year old guy for causing injury by dangerous driving. TODAY: Crimestoppers offer a £1000.00 reward to catch/identify the driver. It's worth noting that the 31 year old was evading Police capture. There's also been no update as...

Hmmm..... £1,000 reward on offer to help identify callous hit and run driver The Argus - Update F**k sake, I know the guy's Son. Just seen the name. :down:

31 Yr old Male & 53 Yr old Female arrested. Male for causing injury by dangerous driving, perverting course of justice and aggravated vehicle taking. Female for perverting course of justice.

Please read post #144 and ALL of my previous posts in this thread. Every post of mine is emphatically endorsing how much of a scumbag the driver is.

See my previous posts. I'm campaigning for this scumbag to get the maximum sentence possible - if everything is as it appears in the video. I'm the last one on this thread making excuses.

We've seen the video and can make a good/accurate judgement of the character behind the wheel. They are all of the facts. The only mitigating factor is if the driver was in a critical/life-threatening situation.
