A petition calling for mandatory minimum actual time in custody sentences for motorists convicted of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, following a fatal crash which killed four-year-old Taylen Swanson, continues to gain attention with more than 3400 signatures.
The petition was started by Taylen’s aunt Jody Swanson following the sentencing of at-fault driver Michelle Lee Newton in Rockhampton District Court on March 19 to 3.5 years prison, wholly suspended and operational for five years for one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and grievous bodily harm, along with one count each of drug driving while being a provisional licence holder and possessing a dangerous drug.
