I find this case puzzling. An lady is walking along the pavement, and another lady is riding her bike on the pavement, so they are heading towards each other.
The lady pedestrian shouts and points at the cyclist to get off the pavement and as they pass, the cyclist loses balance, goes into the roadway and is struck by a passing car and dies.
The lady pedestrian is found guilty of manslaughter and sent to prison for 3 years.

I cannot see how this is anything more than a tragic accident. If the lady pedestrian had pushed the cyclist into the road, that would be reckless. But she walks along the pavement, not altering her position and merely gesticulates to the cyclist to get off. The verdict is to be appealed, and I cannot see how it was a conviction in the first place.
