Jieling Xiao, pleaded guilty to causing death of motorcyclist Rhys Middleton when she lost control of car and hit him.
A Chinese woman jailed for killing a motorcyclist in a crash near Eskdale is appealing her sentence.
Jieling Xiao, 27, was sentenced to 17 months' imprisonment when she appeared in the Napier District Court in June.
She was disqualified from driving for three years and ordered to pay $10,000 in emotional harm reparation to the bereaved family of Tauranga man Rhys Middleton.
Mr Middleton was riding home with his dad, Michael, brother Ryan and two others when he and a car being driven by Xiao, 27, collided on February 7.
Xiao had been heading the same way and other motorists told police her driving had been erratic before the crash. She then veered off the road to the left, before over-correcting sharply and collected Mr Middleton as he was attempting to overtake her. Mr Middleton was 23 when he died.
Ryan tried to save his younger brother while Michael was further ahead and did not know what had happened until he stopped in Taupo.
Naturally the family were upset Xiao was appealing the sentence.
Michael Middleton told Hawke's Bay Today that it felt like Xiao was reneging on her remorse she expressed during the sentencing.
"She said she would take any punishment she got but now she's appealed it. She's appealed her remorse." 作者: NewLynnHse 时间: 2016-8-14 23:36:02
