The ABC informs us that Sharon Mortlock has plead guilty to negligent driving causing death midway through her commital hearing:
- Today her lawyer told the ACT Magistrates Court his client would be pleading guilty to negligent driving causing death.
He told the court that Mortlock admitted she was negligent when she drove down Carr Crescent in Wanniassa with the victim on the bonnet of her car.
A statement of facts tendered to the court stated he had been on the front of her vehicle for about 120 metres when she braked, causing the victim to be thrown from the car.
Sentencing is scheduled for June.
