No....really?
Di don't do dat der do dey?
Dey do doh don't di do?
If you use a metal bar or lump of wood to deliberately batter someone, then provided they've not attacked you, it is murder.
Why should using a car as a weapon be any different?
This area of Law really, really does need sorting out. I've read about drivers deliberately knocking cyclists/pedestrians over getting away with driving without due care or something else daft. it's just ridiculous.
Deliberately drive at someone- Murder/Attempted Murder.
Kill someone due to a lack of care and attention for their safety- Manslaughter.
Why isn't it like that? It is in some other countries I'm sure.
I don't really understand the problem with that story. What do mean by "No....really?" Was it that obvious that the car had been deliberately driven at the victim ? Is there no chance it was an accident ? Are the witnesses completely reliable ? Is there no need for a trial ?
😕
I think it was this bit ernie;
succeeded in colliding with him at [b]the third attempt[/b]
Edit;
Are the witnesses completely reliable ? Is there no need for a trial ?
don't dissagree about that bit though.
Its all to do with the 'afore thought' isn't it?
I did GSCE Law therefore I'm qualified *sic*
