She'll probably try to do a proper job on him between now & then to dispose of the witness..

I may be being somewhat naive here, but wouldn't it have looked better for/on her if she had showed her face?

That was what I was thinking, but who knows if the solicitors or Ms Way made the choice to stay away though.

No doubt they will try to claim she has suffered enough because of all the publicity............

We (the cycling community) seem to be obsessing slightly over this case, but I do think it will be interesting to follow.
It juxtaposes some interesting issues: Youth and their use of social media; the rising prominence of cyclists as road users; the legal case where a defence for ill-considered actions has already been made (of sorts) on TV, but not for the offences mentioned in the summons.
Some time soon, a big case (a widely-publicised case) will somehow catch the lasting (ish) attention of the wider media and put a little air under the wings of campaigns to address safe road use and courtesy towards cyclists. This may be that case if it all plays out in a headline-grabbing way.
I'll also be interested to see whether the Crown can use (or would want to use) any of her earlier Tweets as indicators of her irresponsible attitude to road safety.
If she's determined to be guilty (and I imagine that is more likely than not), it will be interesting to see the extent to which her vilification in the press is played against any sentence.

he is in for a decent payday one way or another - gets her off and loads of publicity, doesn't get her off and gets paid anyway!
as someone says, her papa is paying a load of cash for this one.
maybe if he had said no a few times in the past, she wouldn't be acting like a spoilt little prom queen now. (that's obviously my opinion and not based on fact
)
If she was poor would the Association of British Drivers feel it their duty to support?

Maybe she'll go for those drug-smuggling girls' story and say some big kids made her do it.

It might be supposed that the longer this is dragged on, coupled with her plea of not guilty, the high-profile nature of this case might mean that, to a degree, a precedent has to be set, if you consider the possible knock-on effect of any verdict in light of the big increase in cycling. Not to mention plain justice.
