A passenger in the Audi told police that he and Dancs had been drinking and had taken cocaine as it was Dancs’ birthday that day, the court heard. Dancs, 28, who had minor injuries, was found to be almost two-and-a-half times the legal limit for alcohol and drugs. Two bottles of vodka, one of which was empty, and a small bag of cocaine were found in the Audi.
Judge Simon Medland KC said: “No sentence any court could ever impose should be considered as a measure of Olivia Riley’s life and its tragic, appalling, needless and avoidable end.”
Of course, it isn't even six years anyway, is it?
Dancs will have to serve half his prison sentence and was disqualified from driving for five years and four months.
Yes, I'm sure he'll be a capable driver in five years time...
Don't forget the Judge has to follow sentencing guidelines.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be deporting him back to Hungary once he's released, right? #rhetorical
ReplyDelete25 years hard labour might be the correct sentance or better still the gallows to encourage the others.

ReplyDeleteThe judge, and family, has a new "chauffeur" and is, in fact, banned from driving themselves.
Actions 'should' have real and personal consequences, not just for everyone else 'except' "the elitists" making them.
(Failing that, I'd settle for and festive tandem piano-wire street-furniture display, judge and miscreant swinging gaily in the breeze).
"Don't forget the Judge has to follow sentencing guidelines."
ReplyDeleteYes, 'guidelines'. We know what's said about those, don't we?
"We'll be deporting him back to Hungary once he's released, right? #rhetorical"
If only!
"25 years hard labour might be the correct sentance or better still the gallows to encourage the others."
It's a start...
"Actions 'should' have real and personal consequences, not just for everyone else 'except' "the elitists" making them."
Spot on!
