Driver who used car as weapon to crush woman to death storms out of court
"The driver's side of the car went on to the kerb, on to the footpath, and he proceeded to drive through the group.
"We say he used his car as a weapon - he used the power and the weight of the car to strike the group." Jurors heard two men were "knocked aside" by the bonnet while Rebecca was dragged under as McHugh sped up.Mr Hegarty said: "The car then went over her - which is to say one or more of the wheels went over her.McHugh had been out at a local football game that afternoon before visiting two pubs and a nightclub.Mr Hegarty said: "This is not a collision where a pedestrian is thrown some distance by an impact.
"Stephen McHugh has gone from a standing start up onto the pavement and through the people there, and took Rebecca Steer with him. "What else could he have had in mind for people in that group other than to cause, at the very least, really serious harm? If that is proved, that is murder."He also pleaded guilty to assault causing injury to Kyle Roberts but has denied attempting to cause him grievous bodily harm with intent.
