Guilty As Charged: Pedestrian Charged Rightly In Killing A 77-Year-Old Cyclist!

49-year-old Aurilo Grey was found guilty of creating circumstances that lead to the death of Celia Ward, A 77-year-old cyclist. The sentence will be handed lanugo on 2nd March while the dispute initially began over the cyclist riding over the pavement, the police are still unable to determine if the pavement was unquestionably a shared-use path.

Just the past week, the magistrate heard the statement of Ms. Grey. Plane though she is proven to have psychosomatic palsy and an eyesight issue, one thing that cannot be overlooked is that she did not consider herself to be mentally challenged. Ms. Grey could be heard swirling some indecent remarks towards the cyclist surpassing she gestured for Celia Ward to get off the pavement. She was very warlike and hostile in her manner and stated that the presence of Celia Ward wroth her.

CCTV Footage- What Really Happened

The whole incident was recorded on CCTV with very well-spoken audio in which Ms. Grey can be heard shouting “Get off the *censored* pavement”. While the prosecutor justified that Ms. Grey was only wrestling considering Mrs. Ward was riding on a footpath. He argued that no physical contact was seen in the video, although it is well-spoken that Mrs. Ward fell off of her velocipede without Ms. Grey got hostile towards her and got sadly hit by a car.

The jurors did conclude, without seeing the video, that the oncoming car had no time to stop and stave the incident. Although the prosecutor moreover made sure to point out that Mrs. Ward was not wearing any helmet, plane if she was, it would have been of no use given the worth of injuries that she suffered.

What’s plane increasingly heart-wrenching is that instead of helping the victim, Ms. Grey fled the scene of the wrecking plane surpassing the emergency services arrived. She preferred to protract her shopping trip!

Following the magistrate hearing, Det Sgt Mark Dollard shared his say on the tragic incident:

This is a difficult and tragic case.Everyone will have their own views on cyclists, pavements, and cycleways but what is well-spoken is Auriol Grey’s response to the presence of Celia on a pedal trundling was totally untempered and ultimately found to be unlawful, resulting in Celia’s untimely and needless death.

Mrs. Ward is survived by her husband, who describes her as a capable and skillful cyclist. He said that she was an sweetie-pie by nature who did not deserve this kind of treatment.
