When The Politics Of Envy Creep Into Journalism

 



How awful, a luxury car no less. Is that the most salient fact about the vehicle? Well, no...

John Bell, 74, was hit by the Maserati Quattraporte - which was allegedly stolen - at the property on Forthill Road in Broughty Ferry at about 13:00 on Monday. 
The driver, 55-year-old Fraser Garden, was taken to hospital for treatment and released before being charged over the collision
Garden faces a total of nine charges including causing death by dangerous driving. He is accused of stealing the car before losing control of the vehicle, entering a garden at speed and trapping Bell against a house. 
He is also accused of failing to stop to give his name and address, refusing a blood test and failing to report the collision. 
Garden appeared in court on Tuesday, made no plea and was remanded in custody.

At least he was remanded. In the Met , he'd probably be freed on bail.
