A morbidly obese motorist who caused the death of a jogger claims she is too fat to be jailed.

Unemployed Linda Ann Jenns, 49, knocked down Paul Stinton, 45, in her white Ford Kuga after jumping a red light.

A jury found her guilty of causing the death of Mr Stinton, of Ashford, Kent, by dangerous driving after three days of deliberation.

But her barrister Ian Bridge pleaded with the judge at Canterbury Crown Court not to jail "morbidly obese" Jenns - because she wouldn't be able to cope with life behind bars.

Title is a bit misleading...It's not that she won't be going to jail, it's just a plea from her lawyer. I hope it doesn't work out for her.

If you can get into/fit in a car a jail can easily house you.
