GUILTY UK - Charlotte Brown (24) Manslaughter, London, 8 Dec 2015

[Tortoise]

Stephen Vullo QC, defending, argued that Shepherd, appearing via video link from HMP Woodhill near Milton Keynes, should have been cautioned when interviewed because the police knew he was being asked about - and admitting to - offences relating to alcohol and speeding on the river.

Aftab Jafferjee QC, prosecuting, insisted that the safety of Shepherd's conviction was "not in any sense imperilled”, not least because Miss Brown was at the wheel when the boat overturned.

ITV2 has a two-part series about this on this week, the first was on tonight and the 2nd tomorrow I think, both are on their website: The Speedboat Killer: The Killing of Charlotte Brown - Series 1 - Episode 1

What an awful person; I originally had some sympathy over the speedboat accident, it's easy to assume he didn't intend her any harm (although of course he needed to be held responsible for the consequences of his negligence), but that assault... whew. Should've been longer than 4 years for that, the CCTV is horrific to watch - although amazing reactions by the guy who grabbed him and held onto him so fast after the assault, all credit!

Speedboat killer Jack Shepherd has been released from prison after he was jailed for six years over the death of 24-year-old Charlotte Brown on a date.
Ms Brown died in 2015 after she was thrown from the boat when it capsized on the River Thames after hitting a submerged tree trunk.
Shepherd, 36, was freed, with conditions, after serving half of his sentence behind bars.
He was also serving a concurrent term of four years for an unrelated assault.
