A man who crashed his car into a pram and killed an 18-day-old baby while using a phone at the wheel has had his ‘lenient’ sentence increased.
causing the death of Ciaran Morris, who was said to be out on his first ever walk.
Today, judges at the Court of Appeal increased his sentence to 10 years at a hearing attended by Davis via video-link from HMP Birmingham. The barrister said: ‘Not only did not have insurance, the car itself had not been registered, it was a car that should not have been on the road.’ ‘The offender must have been using his phone. At the time he swerved from one lane into another, there was no attempt to brake or avoid the collision,’ Mr Glasgow said.At trial, Davis ‘claimed to have lost consciousness temporarily as a result of a coughing fit’, the barrister added.
The barrister later said Davis had ‘passed a roadside test for cannabis’ about half an hour after the fatal collision. Lady Justice Carr said: ‘A term of around seven years should have been the platform from which to consider additional aggravating and mitigating factors.
