Who was Andrew Turner ?

A drunken young woman who knocked a man unconscious during a street standoff has been acquitted of causing his death.

Kelsea O’Hara, then 19, attacked Andrew Turner, 58, after he refused to apologize for meeting her friend in Bridlington, East Yorkshire.

Turner fell to the ground, hit his head and died six days later on September 3 last year, Hull Crown Court heard.

Investigation

After his death, Humberside Police launched a murder investigation.

Although Turner died a week after the attack, a pathologist and a neuropathologist confirmed that O’Hara was not responsible for his death.

The court did not mention the cause of Mr. Turner’s death.

The court heard that O’Hara attacked Turner after she did not apologize for meeting her friend on August 28 last year.

O’Hara, now 20, of Trinity Road, Bridlington, pleaded guilty to wounding. He was spared an immediate jail sentence for the attack and was placed under a six-month curfew.

Prosecutor Andrew Espley said Mr Turner was out for drinks in Bridlington with a friend where O’Hara and four of his friends were also drinking.

Turner’s friend knew one of O’Hara’s friends and apologized to her for an incident a couple of weeks earlier.

Around 1:30 am, O’Hara confronted Turner on Marlborough Terrace and asked if he would apologize to one of his friends whom he had accidentally bumped into, but he refused.

Espley said: ‘O’Hara threw the bag on the ground and lunged at Turner, hitting him in the face once and causing him to black out as he fell to the ground, hitting his head in the process as he fell. ‘

Turner, from Bridlington, suffered a five to seven inch cut to the back of his head and was bleeding.

Mr Espley said: “He tried to get up when he regained consciousness, but he couldn’t do it.”

Police and paramedics arrived, but Turner refused to go to the hospital, where his injuries were initially not believed to be life-threatening.

The next day, O’Hara was arrested. She did not comment during the interview with police.

Cause of Death

Mr Espley said: “Mr Turner did not die until September 3, so he would not have been asked about his cause of death.

“The punch appears to have been impulsive and spontaneous and it was a punch.”

There was no evidence that Mr Turner’s death had “anything to do with” O’Hara and this was confirmed after investigations by a pathologist and a neuropathologist, the court heard.

Mitigating Dale Brook said it was a single hit and that O’Hara had originally been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent, but she denied this.

Mr Brook said: “She has expressed sincere and genuine remorse for what she did that night and what happened to the victim.”

She ‘she has cost Him a lot. Understandably, he has given a lot of thought to whether she is the cause of what happened to the victim. This is a tragic case.

He said O’Hara, who has no prior convictions, had suffered “stress and trauma,” but this was nothing compared to what happened to the victim.

He spent a night of ‘juvenile abandonment’ drinking too much, the court heard.

Brook said: “She behaved in an inexcusable way, which had serious consequences for everyone involved.”

“She was out of line and she may have learned a very painful lesson as a result of what happened that night.”

Brook said her client had “a horrible start in life” and that her father and her ex-boyfriend had been jailed for felonies.

Judge Sophie McKone told O’Hara: “Mr. Turner has since died, but he made it absolutely clear that you are not responsible for that.”

There is evidence from two experts, a pathologist and a neuropathologist, who concluded that his actions did not contribute to his death.

You were violent with him. you had been drinking He asked Mr. Turner to apologize because he says that he had bumped into a friend of his.

“It may be that he refused to apologize, but that was no reason to resort to violence and hit someone because you weren’t happy about it.” It is absolutely no excuse.

O’Hara received a six-month suspended prison sentence, a 7 p.m. curfew. m. to 6 a.m. m. six months and 20 days of rehabilitation.
