The path in question was designated and signed as a 'shared use' (pedestrian/cyclist) path some way before and some way after the location, but the status at that particular point was unclear. The local authority was unable to confirm that it had ever been formally designated.

But whether or not the victim had a formal legal right to be riding there, that didn't justify somebody shouting and gesticulating at her, especially as there was plenty of room for both to pass. Whether Auriol Grey's actions amounted to criminality is another matter. The police and prosecution insisted that they did, mainly because of video evidence of the actual fall and the moment the car hit which was never published. They were so confident of their case hat they pressed for a retrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict first time round.

The appeal appears to have succeeded after highly technical arguments about the criteria for manslaughter. Anyway a sad case for all concerned.

Although I don’t arrive at the same conclusion, I have to compliment you on your well thought out, finely reasoned logic, and excellently informed input.
Even by FR standards, which are generally logical, this is an excellent argument!
