Demand for Max Coopey sentence to be reviewed and investigation into handling of case.

The Issue

John Shackley and Jason Imi were killed after a collision with Max Coopey while driving under the influence of cannabis.

The process is, within 28 days of sentencing anyone can write to the Attorney General’s Office to order a review of the sentencing. Coopey was sentenced back in January 2019 for driving under the influence of drugs. As he was under 18 at the time his identify was not known. Now he is 18 he has been revealed to the public, but it appears to be too late to demand a review.

I’m demanding that this case is revisited in extenuating circumstances, as the opportunity to demand review was not available to the public at the time of sentencing. 

An investigation should also carried out on the handling of this case. 

He was fined just £105 and given 100 hours community service for killing two pedestrians.

Novice driver, Max Cooley was driving a powerful Audi A5. Driving under the influence of drugs, Max Coopey had 3.3mcg of Cannabis in his system.  As a result of this, Max Coopey killed two innocent men by his dangerous driving.

Bizarrely, Thames Valley Police did not charge him with any offence related to the deaths.

Thames Valley police said that although Max Coopey was under the influence of drugs when he killed the two men, Coopey’s driving was ‘not impaired by drugs’ - how could this variable factor be proved by police? Because Coopey ‘said’ it didn’t..? Proving this would be impossible, but suggestion that his driving COULD be affected having drugs in his system is much more plausible.

- Coopey was using drugs prior to driving is DANGEROUS driving.
- Coopey was driving knowingly in this condition so it was RECKLESS.

Therefore:- Coopey was driving DANGEROUSLY and RECKLESSLY so it cannot be argued that this didn’t play a part in the incident.

To kill two men instantly would mean there was considerable speed involved and to flea the scene screams guilt. Running away from the scene, an ‘accident’ in itself is a criminal offence and should have impacted his sentencing but it appears to have made no difference.
