What a fucking joke, he left the child alone, the heavy machinery he was using had broken mirrors and he couldn’t see the child.
I really don’t understand how he has gotten away with this. Juries always seem to go soft on a crying parent.
I wish the daily record had a few more ads and pop ups, I was almost able to read the article.
Do not get this
If I had done this to my toddler that would probably be the end for me
No idea how you could go on living after doing that
Fist pumps? The guy ain’t a dad he’s barely an adult. Not only that he’s approaching nonce territory with a 17 year old girlfriend.
Genuinely quite surprised by that. But, I’ve discussed on Reddit recently how fickle things like gross negligence manslaughter are, and how hard they can be to prove – usually to loads of downvotes. And this is exactly what I’m talking about.
Honestly, even to me, it seemed like a slam dunk gross negligence case but that’s the reality of getting a conviction. It’s very very hard to prove and has a *very* high bar.
>The trial heard Mr Speakman was interviewed by police and said Albie ‘knew not to go near anything’. He said: “He knew, he weren’t f****** stupid.. it’s a farm isn’t it? It’s not a f***** playground and Albie knew it weren’t, he knew his boundaries. He knew where he could go and where he couldn’t go.”
>An officer asked: “How did he know?” Mr Speakman replied: “Because you told him. You know he wasn’t a re***d.”
What a horrible piece of shit, almost as if he blames the child.
Man, this one made me sad. I have a little boy. Toddlers are such innocent things. And this young lad was left alone to play with dogs and then run over by shitty, defective equipment? And then the dad victim blames him?
What a thick twat. No, you shouldn’t have let him out of your sight.
3-tonne (minimum) vehicle impacts at low speed (assumption, based on the distance travelled) with a child weighing less than 20kg and the driver reckons you can feel a significant bump?
Left the child alone with two dogs?
Knew the vehicle was defective, hence all of the additional checks of blindspots etc?
Absolute arsehole.
Absolutely devastating for the family (beyond the father, of course, who celebrated “getting away with it”)…
Farmers appear to be doing all they can to become even more hated by the public, it seems.
‘The trial heard Mr Speakman was interviewed by police and said Albie ‘knew not to go near anything’. He said: “He knew, he weren’t f****** stupid… it’s a farm isn’t it?

An officer asked: “How did he know?” Mr Speakman replied: “Because you told him. You know he wasn’t a r****d.” Albie would stay at the farm on alternate weekends, and was dropped off by his mum, Leah Bridge, in the morning of July 16, jurors were told’
Utterly despicable.
Ah FARMER … Brexiteer , and Reform supporter … you mean that one
No actual parent would allow a toddler to roam around a farm, unsupervised. The father is a walking, talking manifestation of pig excrement. And he should have been given a custodial sentence. The guy is a psychopath.
This guy’s reactions to this have been so fucking weird. What an odd guy.
Another day, another reminder that the UK is a joke country.
Guy should be rotting in a prison cell.
I guess a tractor is a type of vehicle. and we all know the easiest way to get away with killing someone is if you do it with something with 4 wheels. Judges and the CPS will ALWAYS sympathise with someone driving something.
Honestly, if anything happened to my 3 year old daughter, that would be the end of me.
Dude has a cuntish attitude over what happened…
His baby dies and instead of showing remorse he fist pumps

Hes blaming his own child **WHO WAS 3 YEARS OLD.**
The fist pump alone suggests he’s a total cunt, thought only of himself.
Ideally, jury members should have done a bachelor’s degree (minimum). Would filter out quite a few of the knuckle-draggers.
Where’s the remorse? Fist-pumping? Christ, how could you even live with yourself if you did that!
Nothing says “I loved my son” more than fist pumping because you got cleared of killing him negligently
Not an ounce of remorse, the fist pump says it all
Would this be the same if he ran over someone else’s kid? I suspect not – and that means it’s a terrible judgement.
