Woman faints while driving with her boyfriend and he dies after they get into an accident. The TV show "A Current Affair" does a one sided hit piece on the woman. reddit begins to reddit.
An Australian woman, Angela Wilkes, was driving with her boyfriend, Corey Rapson, and they get into an accident. He tragically dies in the accident. She was initially charged with "Dangerous driving" causing his death.
After being examined by doctors, she was diagnosed with an unspecified medical condition that could cause her to faint. The evidence was reviewed by a medical expert for the prosecution, who agreed with the doctor's findings, and the case was dropped.
This didn't sit well with the parents of the young man, who don't believe the explanation and have been on a sort of 'holy crusade' to 'find out what happened' and to force the woman to apologize to them.
The parents created an Instagram account to "Honor Corey's memory". Whatever was on that page was never made clear but it caused Angela to apply for a "Personal Safety Intervention Order" against the parents.
"Unconvinced that the evidence was adding up" the parents ask prosecutors to review the case, which they do and decide that there is not enough evidence to charge her.
The TV show, "A Current Affair" does a completely one sided video about the story from the parents perspective, omitting the medical condition and painting the woman as a killer who got away with murder.
They ambush the woman on the street who refuses to talk to them and tries to hide her face, they show the footage of this but don't air any of the audio. We don't know if she is hiding her face out of shame for what she did, or if she is scared and being harassed.
They briefly show the medical report, but don't mention the diagnosis and blurred out everything but the word 'fainting' and state "but a year later she claimed to have fainted and changed her plea", Implying that she is simply using 'fainting' as an "excuse" to avoid prosecution, despite having pleaded guilty a year earlier.
They characterize the Personal Safety Intervention Oder as Angela 'hauling them to court' and 'trying to gag them'. And the Father claimed she simply 'took exception' to them having an Instagram page 'honoring his memory'.
The parents 'theory' is that the police are only 'there for the offender' and that the reason they refuse to prosecute is simply because Covid had caused the courts to have a backlog of cases and they didn't want to prosecute in order to save money and "get their numbers down".
The only information I have been able to find about this case is from 'A Current Affair" and their website so it's likely to be even more egregious than what I have been able to find out.
This 'Fair and Balanced' video was posted to /r/videos where "Vigilante Justice" is being discussed, calls to "Smear her name", people answering the call, and implying that she intentionally killed her boyfriend.
Edit: Found the Instagram Page. On this post they say that Corey was "killed at the hands of another". It's no wonder she had to seek the PSIO.
