Mum charged over girl's death

Here's an article with the media leaping in to offer defense for a woman whose driving resulting in her car rolling and killing her 15 year old daughter.

From the first sentence you can tell that it's going to be presenting how upset the woman is over the whole affair: "As Lois Kirby's distraught mother...".   Not upset, distraught.

Where is the journalistic integrity we've come to expect from Yahoo news to tell us how the car rolled and why a supposed victim in a car crash has been raced before a Magistrate?  Another news report has her facing trial for a string of driving charges.

But that information would just hinder the general public from making an informed decision about the inadequacy of the court system to punish female offenders when the mother is let off with a non-sentence.
