"Mr Curtis said that, in the minutes before the crash, at the junction of Mold Road and Ffordd Llanarth, Rosney took three separate phone calls while driving his Mitsubishi pick-up truck, which did not have a hands-free facility.

He said: 'The phone was being used on speaker mode, not requiring the defendant to handle the phone as he was talking, but plainly to accept or reject or end calls.

'The call ended prior to entry on to the roundabout, we know that from billing data.

'What we will say the case is, then, is that the defendant continued to be distracted by a) the telephone calls which he had been taking, and b) his mobile telephone, which was on the passenger seat inside his vehicle.

'We know he did not see Mrs Boardman and first realised he may have collided with her when his vehicle was physically riding over Mrs Boardman's body.'

He said a witness, Kayleigh Anders, saw the defendant looking down towards his lap and talking, which gave the impression he was still talking on the phone.

Rosney and his wife had both been charged with perverting the course of justice after it was alleged that they ***deleted*** (EMPHASIS MINE) call logs from their phones, but the charges were dropped following prosecution evidence in the first trial in July.

Judge Rhys Rowlands said the guilty plea would attract some credit when Rosney was being sentenced but 'nowhere near as much' as it would have if it had been made when he was on trial earlier this year.

He adjourned sentencing until January 31 and told Rosney that all sentencing options, including ***custody*** (EMPHASIS MINE), would be open to him.

ENDS.

Looks like he was wriggling like a worm until he realised his phone calls were on a log. Scum of the earth.
