You will see from the photos that my son Zachary was killed in a car crash. He was a passenger in his best friends Luke's car. As they went to overtake a colleagues car Dan, Dan reacted in a competitive way and would not let them past. This resulted in the instant death of Zach and devasting injuries to Luke. Dan admitted responsibility in the 999 call, to the police at the scene and to a colleague during a phone call. For 18 months I have fought for justice for my sons death which resulted in a 4 day court trial at Leicester crown court on the 4th April 2016. Unfortunately the CPS who have acted appallingly throughout (complaint pending) decided at first to only charge Luke who was actually a victim so I campaigned for him not to be charged. Eventually both went to court charged with causing death by dangerous driving. Despite Dans admittance of guilt he was found not guilty. Dan shows absolutely no remorse for what he has done he has lied throughout and for 18 months following his first 3 comments has said "no comment" at the advice of his solicitor. I am utterly devastated by the my sons death and the fact that Dan goes unpunished . I read in the papers everyday that people have been punished with prison, fines, driving bans and restorative justice for crimes that have not resulted in the death of an innocent victim. Life for me is a constant, constant, constant injustice!
