I know our minds are elsewhere but I saw this story in the halcyon days of yesterday when laughing at the Lottery criminal masterminds, and forgot to return to it after sentencing.

A delivery driver who knocked down and killed a toddler on a pedestrian crossing has been jailed for a year...
...Jaiden, aged three, died when Phoenix drove through a red light in Wareham, Dorset, on 29 March, 2018.
Phoenix, 44, had admitted at Bournemouth Crown Court to causing death by careless driving.
As the defendant was sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court, Jaiden's father stormed out, shouting: "Is that it? You got a year for killing my son?"
...
Paul Rogers, defending, said the car parked on the zig-zag lines had contributed to the situation.
He said the driver, Graham Booker, was "perhaps fortunate to only have been charged with careless driving himself".
Booker, 71, of North Street, Wareham, admitted motoring offences at a hearing in November. He was ordered to pay £380 and given a three-year driving ban.
Sickening, absolutely sickening.
