Summary: Notes on sentencing; HK charged with failing to stop to ascertain injury; operating a motor vehicle on a road causing injury and driving whilst disqualified. HK drove an unregistered and unwarranted car; collided with cyclist; failed to stop and offer assistance to cyclist who was lying unconscious on the highway. Order before Court for declaration of non-compliance with a supervision order and a community work order in relation to further charges including theft (4) and burglary (4). FGC agreed only appropriate sentence is supervision with residence, followed by supervision. Due to multiplicity of offences involved it would be likely that if HK was an adult facing these charges he would be sentenced to a term of imprisonment.
