A drug addict who ran down and killed
a young boy and his aunt while
trying to escape police in a
stolen car has been jailed for 12 years.
Rosie Cooper, 34, and Makayah McDermott,
10, died after Joshua Dobby
drove into them as they walked along
a street with other family members
in Penge, southeast London, in August.
Dobby, a convicted car thief with
53 previous convictions, was out on
licence at the time.]

The ruddy coward stepped over a thirteen year old girl that lay injured to escape.
What a lowlife.
He should have got longer.

Well let's hope that the other prisoners make sure his sentance is not a happy one.

He should have got life. To drive at those speeds is madness and intentional. That is murder.

Disgusting

He should get life. He killed two people.

Just to see it from another perspective, the police where chasing a stolen car and are being investigated, when you consider what someone gets for stealing a stolen car is it worth chasing someone an putting public at risk

We have the technology for cars to be stopped by the police using codes that could be fitted when built.

I don't think blaming the police is helpful. Left to his own devices driving the car he could have still mowed someone down as clearly not got fit to drive. How do you decide to just leave him to it or give chase. At the end of the day his actions killed those poor people.

I'm not blaming the police he was taking the car to sell for drugs, two people got killed would they have been killed if the police did not chase?, I would say they would not.
Police are not above the law!, they do a job and not all do a good job.

He should have gotten a longer sentence, I don't really believe he is as sorry as he made out in that 'letter' and I think his actions during and immediately after the crime had happened speak more to his intent then, what I believe to be, an emotional ploy after the fact to get a lesser sentence.

It's an interesting angle to look at it from, I do think that the police could have handled it better now you mention it as police chases in the kinds of locations where this occurred seems quite reckless. A more careful approach in apprehending him would have very likely led to a different outcome.

I do agree with everything you have said here.

Death by dangerous driving is not treated as serious as it should be and they need to be upping the minimum sentence for this sort of crime after all it is no different to Murder

Id like to see him run over to death by a car as that would be a fitting punishment, would give relatives peace of mind, closure and revenge and would save the taxpayer a lot of money
