When was this?

4 children are dead and all you care about is a supposed backlash??

wonders never cease

@cashmoney

You right. The most important issue here is that 4 innocent children are dead and that is tragic. This is what I was trying to show in my first post. I was shocked at Marcus Garvey Lives reaction.

There should be a backlash, she only got 2 YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Mother jailed over crash deaths



Marshall Haynes, Liam Hastings and Josh Bartlett died in the crash A mother who crammed seven boys into her car during a birthday outing before causing a pile-up in which four people died has been jailed for two years. Nurse Angela Dublin, 46, of London Road, Headington, Oxford, pleaded guilty last month to four counts of causing death by dangerous driving.

Three of her seven passengers, Josh Bartlett, Liam Hastings, and Marshall Haynes, all 13, were killed last May.
Howard Hillsdon, 21, who was in another car, also died on Oxford's A4142.
Like the bereaved, her thoughts over the last year have always been with the victims Frank Burton, defence barrister

Dublin, a nurse of 25 years, was disqualified from driving for six years.
She had been taking a party of her son Anton's friends out to dinner to celebrate his 13th birthday when the tragedy happened on 28 May.
Dublin was seen pulling into an overtaking lane, without indicating, as she approached a silver car in front at about 70mph.

It was then that Dublin lost control, the back of the car swerving first left and then right before ploughing across the grassed central reservation.
Mr Hillsdon, 21, of Oxford was killed when Dublin's car hit his vehicle and sent it into a spin.

As the two cars spun together each collided with another vehicle. A motorcyclist was also knocked off his bike in the chain of events.

There was no crash barrier at the scene of the collision

Judge Mr Justice Crane said that although Dublin was driving within the limit, her speed in the circumstances was "excessive".

He said: "In my view, apart from taking the risk of multiple deaths and injuries, there were aggravating factors in driving when there were serious distractions and in driving at greatly excessive speed in those circumstances."
Dublin herself was left fighting for her life in hospital together with her son and his three surviving friends, Aiden Wood, 13, Jake Proper, 13, and Conor Hunt, 12.
On Monday, defence barrister Frank Burton told Oxford Crown Court "by her pleas of guilty to the four counts of causing death by dangerous driving, Mrs Dublin unequivocally accepts her responsibility for her fatal error.

"She wishes to apologise to the bereaved families and friends of Liam and Josh and Marshall and Howard Hillsdon.
In my judgment it would not be appropriate to suspend the sentence Judge Mr Justice Crane

"She knows that nothing that she can say and nothing that she can do will ease their pain, but she expresses her sincere condolences to the various families and

friends for their losses.
"Like the bereaved, her thoughts over the last year have always been with the victims."

The court was told that only one of the boys in the car had been wearing a seat belt and at least one, possibly two, had been in the boot of the Citroen Xsara, when Dublin lost control of the car.

A witness recalled seeing children joking, laughing and making "childish gestures" through the back window before the accident.

Judge Crane said: "I have considered carefully whether I should reduce the sentence and whether, as I am asked to, I can suspend it.

"In my judgment it would not be appropriate to suspend the sentence."

ACtually MGL, I think you were right to worry about a backlash

Not only did she not inssit that they wear a seatbelt. But , taken from sky news

'Oxford Crown Court heard only one of the seven boys was wearing a seatbelt and at least one had been travelling in the (BOOT) of her Citroen Xsara.'


They are all under 14 she is required by law to ensure that EVERY SINGLE ONE of them was belted up, and not just one.

How do you know the nurse was african?

If she was considered so feckless why would the mother of these children allow them to be in the car in the first place?

It's either she is normally a responsible person or the mothers are thick.

Or the media is hyping it up 'backlash' style with their usual finely tuned racism.

awful.

so young.

i know i harp on about "white folks" but this is bad.

Are you 'all there' @ athaba?

Somebody causes death of 4 kids and brain injuries to 3 others including he son, and she gets only 2 years, and your bringing racism into this

Because she is 'NORMALLY' reponsible does that make 1 iota of difference. She put one in the boot, none were wearing seatbelts

I've been on day trips wheer I have been driven by mums/dads of my firends. A duty of care is assumed. My parents expecte me to be looked after and subsequently I'm still here

So if you let your two daughters go into a car with a 'NORMALLY RESPONSIBLE' woman and she crashes and something tragic/near tragic happens, you would be fine with a 2 year ( which means 9 months) sentance????


I thought not!!

I agree with Cashmoney,

There is a time and place for everything.. All I know is if that was one of my kids then I would've off'ed that woman myself. 2 years is nothing..
