Victim's mother "disgusted" as repeat road offender is jailed for 18 months for causing death
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Family and friends, who were present during the hearing today, walked out en masse when Judge Pauline Codd imposed a sentence of four years with two and a half years suspended. She said that any sentence must contain a sufficient element of general deterrence to the public and McCarthy not to drive at excessive speed.
