Watch the key footage that helped convict 'maniac' driver who killed aspiring Leeds doctor
This is the key footage that helped convict road killer Regan Kemp, who continued to deny he was at the wheel of the high-powered car when it crashed into a pedestrian.
The 26-year-old was found guilty and jailed at Leeds Crown Court yesterday for causing the death of teenager Ashton Kitchen-White through dangerous driving.
The camera footage, recorded from the back of the Ford Focus ST, shows Kemp accelerating at speed as he shows off to his passengers.
Moments later, he struck Mr Kitchen-White, who was walking over a pelican crossing on Ring Road Beeston shortly after 10pm on May 16.
It was heard during the trial that he “stood no chance” of surviving, with experts conforming Kemp was travelling at more than 80mph at the moment of impact.
Despite overwhelming evidence, Kemp, of Lafrowda Close, Penzance, Cornwall, continued to deny wrongdoing, tring to pin the blame on his friend.
The jury convicted him after less than two hours of deliberation.
Judge Neil Clark told Kemp: “You ran this case, despite what seems to me to be the strongest of evidence.
“Never once have you admitted what you did. Never once have you expressed any remorse. Never once have you said you made a mistake.”
