Stephen McHugh, of Artillery Road, Park Hall, has admitted killing Miss Steer after she was hit by his gold Volvo in Willow Street in the early hours of October 9 last year, but he has denied murder. The court had previously heard how McHugh, who had no licence and had only bought his S60 Volvo 12 days earlier, had used the vehicle"as a weapon" after getting into an altercation with some young people outside the takeaway.Ben Williams, prosecuting, told jurors that Miss Steer arrived in the vicinity of Grill Out takeaway on Willow Street just before 2.50pm.
The jury watched CCTV evidence of the Volvo as it travelled from the Unicorn to Smithfield Street, Church Street and into Willow Street just as Miss Steer was crossing the road. The young woman had to take avoiding action as the Volvo suddenly reversed outside the takeaway.
