Mr Scott’s 76-year-old aunt appears to have been walking away in an attempt to escape the impending impact of the teleporter, the trial has heard

Mr Hayes said that visibility was “significantly” reduced by dirt and grime on the back window but “a pedestrian with a light blue cardigan would be clearly visible”. The expert witness said the left rear view mirror of the teleporter was missing and it was unlikely the driver would have been solely depending on the right hand mirror because it provided very poor visibility.

Ms Treacy’s only viable route to where she was found was a 45 metre walk from her back door to a driveway and into the yard, he said. At a reasonable ambulant walking gait, he said, that journey would take 30 seconds. For a less ambulant gait, it might take 45 seconds. Mr Hayes said he does his best to be objective in giving evidence but like all people he has his prejudices.
