Kallum Aish, 20, was sentenced to 22 months suspended for 18 months by the Birmingham Crown Court Wednesday.
An unlicensed UK driver who seriously injured a pedestrian and killed her dog while recklessly speeding three years ago avoided jail time this week — which the victim blasted as “effectively getting away” with the crime.
Faulkner suffered a broken leg and a concussion, and Millie was tragically killed at the scene, the court heard. “I owned her for four years, she was a rescue dog. She was my world, an absolutely wonderful dog,” she wrote.“She was out for a walk and I can’t understand how anybody could leave a dying dog alone in pain. I will forever miss her. Nothing will replace her.”
Prosecutors previously claimed the teen was racing a friend at the time of the crash, but he has denied the allegations, per the BBC. “The defendant received death threats on social media from members of the public. He completely lost touch with his circle of friends.”In the wake of the accident, the attorney continued, the young man was also the victim of his own roadway near-miss.
