Jury shows a video of man in the car hood before death in Isla of Man

The images of the moment a man left the hood of a car when the braking vehicle has been shown to a jury in Douglas Courthouse.

Jackson Paul, 35, denies having caused death for the dangerous driving of Jordan Thomas, 29, last year.

The court heard on the night of February 25 that Paul was driving by Harbor Road in Uncan when Mr. Thomas went up to the hood of his car, pulling the windshield wiper up and down.

The images of the mobile phones taken by the passenger Niall Jones showed that Mr. Thomas left the car hood after the vehicle led forward and then stopped.

Thomas died nine days later at the Aintree hospital.

The court heard that a post Mortem had registered its cause of death as a force of force in the head.

Giving evidence, the driver of another car, Cheryl Richmond, described Thomas approaching his vehicle the same night, before climbing the hood and sliding quickly.

She said she and Mr. Thomas were “laughing at one point”, but added that she felt confused by the incident and that she had “wanted to get out of the situation.”

In a written statement, Kelly Hampson, who was driving behind Mrs. Richmond, said Thomas had “aggressive resemblance” when he approached his own car, which led her to reverse and follow another way.

The court heard that it was shortly after Paul arrived in Harbor Road and saw the 29 -year -old man standing next to the road.

In a transcription of his police interview read to the Court, he said he had made a gesture for Thomas to cross the road, but that he had “jumped” at the head of his car.

The court heard that he told the officers that he had touched the horn of his car, that he had seemed to “aggravate” Thomas, who began hitting the windshield.

He said he tried to move the automatic automatic at that point, but in his place he advanced, and could not put the car in reverse while he was on the road, so he had stopped.

In the transcripts, he said “it was a very panic moment” and thought that he or his passenger would be in danger if Thomas had broken out the window, they told the court.

In a report prepared by the Forensic Collision researcher PC Clare Sproule-Craine, he said that although the only evidence that Thomas was hitting the windshield had come from Mr. Paul and Mr. Jones, the post Mortem showed hematomas to his fingers lower that indicated impact with a “hard object.”

She said she had estimated that the car had reached between 32 mph (51 km/h) and 38 mph (61 km/h).

However, the Forensic Collision researcher Adrian Armstrong said that, in his opinion, the car had not been traveling forward for enough time to reach that speed and stop.

He said he estimated that the vehicle had moved between 29 mph (46 km/h) and 30 mph (48 km/h).

The trial will continue in Douglas Courthouse on Thursday.
