Ray Hadley received an email pleading for help from the grandfather of James Edds, the 9-year-old boy killed by an alleged drunk driver earlier this year.

Police allege Kristie Fiona Anne Merrett was driving a black Lexus SUV when she allegedly failed to give way at an intersection in Killarney Vale on January 4, and collided with a Toyota sedan.

Inside the Toyota were 9-year-old James Edds and his mum.

James suffered critical head injuries in the crash.

The court heard Ms Merrett was granted bail on January 5 when the little boy was still fighting for life.

Sadly, he later died from his injuries.

The 51-year-old had a “ridiculous” driving record and known alcohol abuse problems.

Ray is furious stating it is “offensive” to the family to not have justice.

“I have asked Mark Speakman to look into this matter immediately!” Ray said.

“It’s just inconsolable, it doesn’t make any sense!”

In an update, Attorney General Mark Speakman provided an update to Ray on the matter.

“I have urgently requested transcripts for both these bail matters in order to better understand the bail decisions and bail conditions.

In relation to the R v Kristie Fiona Anne Merrett, I understand the bail conditions include being not to leave home unless in the company of nominated person, other than to attend court or pre-arranged legal/medical appointments and not to occupy driver’s seat of a motor vehicle.

In relation to the other matter, R v Omar Shady, I am seeking in particular to understand the reasoning for the variation of the bail conditions – the offender has been charged with offences that are nothing short of despicable.

Given the gravity of both matters I have asked the ODPP if they will be bringing fresh detention applications.”
