There was a significant amount of comment on the 12 years’ imprisonment and 15-year driving ban handed down to Thomas Wainwright for causing the death of Mull vet Theresa Wade in an accident in 2015. Claire Louise criticised: ‘Not long enough, it wasn’t his first offence and he didn’t even have the decency to plead guilty.’
Muriel Searl wrote: ‘Arrogant and conceited … deserves every second of his sentence.’
Denice Addison posted: ‘This guy is having 12 years (which he will probably do 6 at most) of his life taken away from him! Poor Theresa has had the rest of hers taken and her family will be heartbroken for the rest of theirs! I think the sentence was very well deserved! I know people make silly decisions but trying to blame the girl you have killed for the accident really is the lowest of the low!’
