It is appalling that this lady is still inside a prison.

The report also mentions the possibility of bail.

This is an important case. It deals with the rights of victims
(pedestrians on footways threatened by chav-cyclists) as opposed to
those of perpetrators (chav-cyclists on footways).

Hear, hear. This whole thing was a disgrace from start to finish, and
tarnished the concept of justice.

Hopefully this will lead to clarity for cyclists regarding cycling
illegally on footways, and also for their duty of care to the most
vulnerable of road users (which despite all the song and dance, isn’t
cyclists).

If there’s any kind of crowdfunding to raise funds to help Auriol get back
on her feet, I’m in.

Miss Grey should never have been charged.

The only person responsible for the death of the cyclist was the cyclist.
She was riding on a pedestrian only pavement, lost control of her bike, and
fell under a car.

Those involved in the prosecution of Miss Ward should be held personally to
account, forced to pay substantial damages, and jailed for the same time as
she has been.

To the extent that they did all of that as part of the ongoing cold war
on behalf of chav-cyclists against pedestrians and drivers, I fully agree.
