Bridget Carole Curtis, a 70-year-old woman, stood before the judge with a heavy heart. She had admitted to causing the death of eight-month-old Mabli Cariad Hall, a tragedy that had shaken her to the core. As she waited for her sentence, she couldn't help but think about the events that led to this moment.
It was a normal day, or so it seemed. Curtis was driving her BMW near Withybush Hospital in Pembrokeshire, west Wales when she collided with a pram carrying little Mabli. The impact was devastating, and the baby was immediately rushed to the hospital. Despite the best efforts of the medical staff, Mabli was unable to overcome the severe traumatic brain injuries she sustained and passed away less than two days later.
Curtis was filled with remorse and guilt for her actions. She couldn't believe that her negligence had caused the death of an innocent child. Today, she pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at Swansea Crown Court. The judge, Geraint Walters, released her on unconditional bail until her sentencing hearing on November 22. However, he made it clear that this decision did not reflect the potential sentence that she could receive.
In addition to being released on bail, Curtis was also disqualified from driving. The judge stated that psychiatric and pre-sentence reports would be conducted before her hearing. He wanted to ensure that the appropriate punishment was given for such a grave offense. Curtis was reminded that she would have to face the consequences of her actions and that her bail did not diminish the severity of the situation.
As the court proceedings went on, Curtis felt numb. Her lawyer, John Dye, spoke on her behalf and explained that she had a clean driving record and had voluntarily surrendered her license. He also mentioned that she was completely devastated by the events and had no prior convictions. Curtis couldn't help but feel immense regret and sorrow for her actions.
The past year had been the most difficult time for Mabli's family. Losing a child is a pain that no parent should ever have to endure. In their victim impact statement, they described the incident as "the most horrendous time of our lives". The court was reminded of the gravity of the situation and the impact it had on everyone involved.
As the hearing came to an end, Curtis was filled with a sense of remorse and guilt. She knew that she could never turn back the clock and change what had happened. All she could do now was wait for her sentencing and pray for forgiveness from Mabli's family and the court.
