The media sell stories. They pick a Goodie and a Baddie, and that's the narrative that they'll push. Facts are of no interest to them.

Exactly, and the Sun doesn't have the best reputation for factual reporting. Sheffield Wednesday football ground springs to mind.

Another one... 9 years out in 4. How this isnt attempted murder/ felony murder (due to creating the situation) is beyond me.


Bit more to this though, not an innocent biker in the slightest, Hutchings was a known known bike thief,
wearing no lid during the chase which should ring alarm bells all day long, With previous for stealing a car,
on a ban at the time of incident, loaded up on coke and cannabis.

David Barnes, no previous convictions, employed family man, forced into this course of action in my opinion by the
basic fact that the Police wouldn't have done anything more than issue a crime number for the stolen bike.

The shame here is that a man of good character is now inside because a nasty thieving druggie stole his brothers bike.
There was no proof that Hutchings stole it, but he was riding it. I'm not shedding too many tears for Hutchings.

https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/trio-led-police-on-high-speed-chase-in-stolen-car-1-4992474

So it was his brothers bike but they couldn't prove the guy riding it stole it? What the actual f**k, had the guy not stolen it and/or ridden without a lid, he'd still be alive. From the reports it sounds like the rider might have caused the collision as well.

Maybe this will encourage people to stop using their vehicle as a weapon?

Somethings just don't add up here; "Clifford drunkenly chased the scooter at nearly double the speed limit", "the two young teenagers who got on to the moped ".
Which is it? A scooter that my be able to do 40+ or a moped that's stuck at 28mph.

In my humble opinion a "death caused by dangerous driving while using a mobile phone" should be a thing while treated completely different giving more years in prison...

I only get my phone in a hand to change the music playing and that is 1swipe right or left I dont even need to look to the screen. I don't ride yet, but I'm going to next year and I always think biker/pedestrian/cyclist and only lastly driver...
