Henry Booth had just dropped off his wife and two friends when he crashed into them
An elderly man ran over and killed one of his wife's closest friends after mistaking his accelerator for his brake. Henry Booth, 78, has been spared jail after the 83-year-old victim's family claimed they bore "no malice" towards him.
“Both were subsequently discharged from hospital and are in the process of recovery. Their injuries are no longer serious or life changing. The defendant's vehicle continued to travel forward in the car park striking a Mitsubishi Outlander parked and unattended. ''But from the beginning the family had not wanted Henry to be charged or to face any criminal consequences. He and his wife have always been very good to my mother, such as running her to appointments and such like and it is very sad that one of those good deeds led to my mother’s death.
"The three ladies who have all retired met up for a lunch and were driven by Mr Booth. All four were set for a very nice lunch at the pub, something they do regularly. “This was an accident that has had a profound effect, not just on the victim, but on him as well. He has to live with what happened. "Ordinarily, I would be saying that a 78-year-old man who loses his good character is itself a tragedy. But in this case, it's the least of his problems. He has got to deal with the tragedy of what happened every day."
