The prison term for a driver who murdered an infant in a pram while using his phone has been doubled to ten years.
Driver sentenced for killing 18-day-old boy
James Davis, 35, ran over infant Ciaran Leigh Morris on Brownhills High Street, close to Walsall, before he sprang from his white BMW 1 Series 116d.
On Easter Sunday of last year, he struck a Ford B-Max, mounted the pavement on the opposite side of the street, and then struck the child.
For causing death by hazardous driving and causing death by operating a vehicle without insurance, Davis was sentenced to six and a half years in prison in April at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
However, the Attorney General’s Office under the “unduly lenient” sentence procedure referred that sentence to the Court of Appeal.
Davis was present via video link from HMP Birmingham for the hearing where judges doubled his sentence to 10 years.
