Simon Nortcliffe to be sentenced for deaths of women on A47

He has always denied causing the deaths by dangerous driving. Judge Katharine Moore adjourned sentence until April 30 so a pre-sentence report can be carried out. Judge Moore warned that “all options”, including custody, were open to the court. The trial had heard there had been “no attempt to brake” or to “move back to his side of the road” by Nortcliffe prior to the crash. It was said to be consistent with the defendant having fallen asleep while driving or being distracted for such a period of time that it had become dangerous. Mr Morgans said that was “utter rubbish” and insisted the prosecution did not get close to making the jury sure the defendant fell asleep.
