In 2014, Queensland veterinarian, Dr Martin Pearson, was in the final stages of an endurance cycling ride when he was the victim of a fatal hit-and-run accident. When police located the driver responsible, they realised that he had been responsible for the accidental death of his wife, Leanne, just 6-years prior. Although Geoffrey Sleba’s actions had resulted in the loss of 2 lives, he substantially escaped punishment, only serving 13-months in prison, after proving that both occasions were ‘accidental’.
