Frail pensioner Neil Robinson took his last breath in hospital at Christmastime. He died from a head injury suffered six days earlier when he was pushed by a road rage driver and crashed to the ground.
The catastrophic shove was dealt by drunk and drugged driver, broadly-built James Gill, in Ranson Road, Chilwell, who had been on an electrician's training course in Attenborough, and had been talking about violence and "bigging himself up". He left behind a soft drinks bottle which contained 22 percent of ethanol.
Mr Robinson, 75, who had simply been crossing the road when Robinson was driving along was seen to 'purposefully' swerve in the direction of elderly Mr Robinson. Gill got out. There was a verbal exchange before Gill used both hands to push him hard to his chest.
