Wimbledon school case re-opened

[bookworm8500]

Just that really. Those poor families and children 😪 I wonder what on earth is happening and why it has been reopened. It says there were flaws in the initial investigation

Sending the driver to jail isn't going to bring those poor girls back

You could make that argument about people being killed in any circumstances.

Except the driver in this had a medical episode, that means she was not in control and had no recollection of what happened.

What would you achieve by sending her to jail?

@XenoBitch maybe that is what they are re-examining

Except the driver in this had a medical episode, that means she was not in control and had no recollection of what happened.

I think the question is whether she in fact did have a medical episode, given that there are already local rumors about irresponsible driving prior to the crash. I mean, I think most likely it was medical and this is just the parents' grief talking. But perhaps we need to look into this again.

Just going to repost this here:

Land Rover Defender: A reboot that lives up to the hype – The Irish Times
This Irish Times write-up of the Land Rover Defender merrily exclaims that:
"Speaking to The Irish Times at the launch, Nick Collins, the Defender's vehicle line director explained that "an example of one of our toughest sign-off tests was to get the Defender to overcome hitting a 200mm high square-edged kerb at 40km/h. Now if you happen to be unlucky enough to be the test driver of that car, that's quite an extreme input. That specific test will generate 7 tonnes of load through the suspension, through the links and into the body structure." And the new Defender can cope. This is heavy duty off-roading."

As this Twitter commenter pointed out "Not great news for any pedestrian standing on the other side of that kerb." Apparently, neither the Irish Times not the vehicle line director appear to have given the slightest thought to the danger this poses to anyone on the pavement.
(2) Ciarán Cuffe on X: "Yikes. The new Land Rover Defender can “overcome hitting a 200mm high square-edged kerb at 40km/h”. Not great news for any pedestrian standing on the other side of that kerb. t.co/cZuZWbwBmL" 

Can someone who is a bit more techsavvy than me create some sort of digital archive of the Claire Freemantle: Overcoming Epilepsy's Challenges in Wimbledon | Journal link? In case it suddenly "disappears"?

I have grabbed some screenshots, but an archive would be better.

Why? It’s just a blog. It’s someone’s opinion it doesn’t mean it has any factual basis!

It’s possible to be both - she was a bad driver/speeded and suffered a seizure on that day. Moreover, epilepsy isn’t “extremely rare”. 1 in 26 people will have a seizure in their lifetime.

It may be nothing, but it might also have been written based on local knowledge/discussion. Who knows?

Yes, I know all that due to personal circumstances. I was responding to someone who said an EEG only showed something after multiple seizure because I think they’d misunderstood. The diagnosis of epilepsy is made after two or more seizures - which is very different than implying only after two seizures could an EEG show evidence of epilepsy.

the author has a stolen profile picture and pumping out ai stories on nfl, supplement s and missing people stories, popular search niches to create back links to other websites so… probably not.

Oh my god how can they rule out cctv?! I mean it’s factual!

Come on. Anyone with half a brain can see this website is nonsensical.

Why are these stupid tanks allowed in urban and built up areas? Perhaps a question thst needs answering.

Is that true not seen that mentioned before? flip flops are difficult to drive in for sure...

I must be naive, where would people have been wearing flip flops and boozing?
It should be illegal to drive in flip flops.

Can this really be true? Surely, driving in fit flops must be seen as careless driving in itself??

Also, is the driver the same lady who works in senior sales for a car sales organisation that also sells Land Rovers??

She wasn't driving in flip flops. Another one of those baseless rumours that surrounds this case.

Who is talking about drink levels and sandals?

How do you know what footwear she was actually wearing?

I hope to God you never get selected for Jury duty with such a low bar for proof beyond reasonable doubt. Calling someone a murderer based purely on local rumours? Oh dear. I suggest you develop some critical thinking skills.

I’m glad the case has been re opened. I am local and so many witness statements were not taken. Additionally the way the driver and her husband have conducted themselves is unsavoury, they gagged the press, had all pictures removed of themselves (it was only when the foreign press started publishing them). They spent 6 months deleting all images and social media accounts.

even her statement is disrespectful ‘well I became aware’ you were conscious when you came out of the vehicle and were speaking.

the whole handling of this case has been mishandled. I understand officers have been suspended over it
