Ciaran Morris was just 18 days old when James Davis, 35, fell in his stroller on Brownhills High Street near Walsall on Easter Sunday last year. Ciaran’s parents had taken him on one of his first trips when a BMW, driven by Morris, went up the sidewalk after colliding with another car.

He had not tried to brake or steer before the collision, which also left Ciaran’s mother with a broken key. Davis then hid his cell phone from police for more than two months, which the presiding judge called “very suspicious.” Judge John Butterfield QC said: “As you drive, you allow yourself to be distracted. “I’m sure it was a function of your phone.” After the crash, Davis was seen on the closed circuit television running away from the spot. He told passersby that “he had killed a baby and was coming down for a long time”. He called the police about 40 minutes later to tell them what he had done. In the footage from his arrest, he appears to be telling police: “If I have done this, I just want to see my baby before I do it, so I came here.” Picture: Davis ran out of the car after the collision.

But during the trial, prosecutor James Curtis QC told the jury: “He was perfectly in shape and he was clear enough, the Crown says, to invent what we say is a false defense. “The Crown says there is no medical justification for this driving – this is a fabrication.” Condemning the sentence, Judge Butterfield noted the “cruelty of fate” of the accident, which occurred as Siaran was walking in his wheelchair for the first time, while Davis had taken a longer route due to the good weather. During his proofs, Davis agreed to reach 67 mph in a 30 mph area, but said he was driving within the speed limit when the accident occurred. He told the court: “The last thing I remember was starry eyes. I can not remember any of them. It’s as if everything was empty.” Read more: More than .000 25,000 gathered for Ciaran Morris’s funeral Picture:… and deviated from the other side of the road.
