Former boxing champ tried "pinning responsibility" for crash on seriously injured victim
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He said Ward's prior record, including the fact he was driving while disqualified, did not suggest he was a suitable candidate for a sentence with a significant suspended element. Mr Justice Birmingham, who sat with Ms Justice Mary Irvine and Ms Justice Isobel Kennedy, re-sentenced Ward to six years imprisonment with the final nine months suspended.
