Aug. 24th, 2015 06:18 pmMam's a little better today. They found out she had pneumonia, a water infection, an infection in her belly, plus really low blood pressure. She'll be in the hospital for a bit, but it's the best place for her right now. Kayleigh and Chris have been in to see her and we'll go in tomorrow as James still isn't feeling well, plus, he doesn't want to pass on his bug.
Something good happened this morning though. Last year, well before Kayleigh and Kay split up they witnessed a horrific accident. Which I'll talk about behind
An old lady went to cross the road and was hit by a motorcycle. She was thrown in the air, and Kayleigh said afterwards just looking at her she knew there was no way she'd make it, and she didn't.
The man driving was obviously at fault. The old lady didn't step out in front of him, he just didn't see her crossing. All the evidence pointed at him being to blame, but he decided to plead innocent. Kayleigh and Kay were both dreading the trial as it would mean reliving that day and having to see the victim's family, coroners reports etc. Today as they were driving for the trial they got news the man had changed his plea to guilty. So that was good for them, plus, the old lady's family didn't have to go through that ordeal either.
So, today has been a relief all around, really.

Kayleigh and Kay were dreading the trial. Why he waited so long to change his plea I don't know.

Date: 2015-08-27 07:52 am (UTC)I really don't know why he didn't plead guilty from the start and save some pain for the lady's family.
