But is it not? If he is not licensed to drive, is it not (in a way) a pre-meditated act? He knows that, for probably a good reason (doesnt know how to drive/ been banned), he is not legaly allowed to drive, so it is his negligence when he got in that car that killed the child? |
Absolutely, I agree entirely with what you are saying - I'm just saying it from a legal standpoint, no doubt what his solicitor will use in his defence
