In a case that has garnered significant attention, a woman with a disability has been sentenced to three years in prison for manslaughter after she aggressively waved a cyclist off the pavement and into the path of an oncoming car. The woman is now set to challenge her sentence at the Court of Appeal.
According to reports, Auriol Grey, aged 49, allegedly made hostile and aggressive gestures towards Celia Ward, while telling her to vacate the sidewalk.
In a shocking incident, a 77-year-old woman was captured on camera driving onto the road and subsequently being hit by a car.
In a recent development, Grey has appealed her three-year sentence for manslaughter.
According to her legal team, the prison sentence was deemed “excessive” and they suggested that a post-trial diagnosis of autism could have potentially impacted the outcome of the case.
Today, the judges of the Court of Appeal have denied leave to appeal, stating that the sentence “is not manifestly excessive.”
In Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, a terrifying incident occurred in October 2020 when two women were walking past each other on the street.
As Celia cycled towards her on the sidewalk, Grey, who suffers from cognitive and mobility problems and is partially sighted, raised her hand.
The incident occurred when the retired midwife lost her balance and stumbled into the road, just as a VW Passat was approaching.
In a surprising turn of events, Gray proceeded to flee on foot to Sainsbury’s to purchase groceries for an unknown individual when paramedics arrived at the location.
According to her statement, she experienced “anxiety” while the bike was moving “rapidly” down the center of the pavement.

According to Grey, she may have accidentally raised her hand as Celia approached her on her bike.
According to a recent court ruling, although cycling on the sidewalk is against the law, the police are not permitted to definitively declare whether a particular street is a designated shared bike lane.
According to Judge Sean Enright, in the sentencing of Grey, she was incensed by the presence of a cyclist on the pavement and considered it her territory.
Gillian Hayter, daughter of Celia, commented after the sentencing, stating that the defendants’ absence of remorse should not be underestimated, as it has deeply impacted their family.
