A Nottingham man was sentenced to two years and three months in prison for manslaughter after his partner died from neglect. Christopher Tansley was found guilty of leaving his partner, Caron Kinsey, on the floor for 11 days after she fell out of bed.
Every week day the courts of Nottingham deal with a variety of people, from those caught speeding or failing to pay for a TV licence, to those facing the most serious charges. Whether it's the city's magistrates' court or the crown court, where those serious cases are dealt with, the backlog of people facing civil or criminal cases grows longer by the day.
Nottinghamshire Live's court reporter Martin Naylor spends each day covering the city's courts and this December he wrote about a wide variety of cases, from a man who neglected his partner so badly she died in hospital to the 'Robin Hood of Langley Mill' who said he stole cannabis to prevent dealers from selling it to children. Christopher Tansley, 63, from Mansfield, was jailed for two years and three months after being found guilty of manslaughter. Caron Kinsey, 63, died after Tansley left her on the floor for 11 days when she fell out of bed. For all the time the victim was helplessly lying there, Tansley failed to summon any help at all. While she was on the carpet he would light cigarettes for her and bring her soft drinks. But when he finally did call the emergency services, paramedics found her covered in urine and faeces and with pressure sores all down the left side of her body. She died in hospital on the day she was discovered and Home Office pathologist Dr Michael Biggs gave the cause of death as bronchial pneumonia which was caused by the time she spent lying on the bedroom floor. The medic said she would not have contracted it had the emergency services been called on the day of the fall
