Rohan Dennis will not be held responsible for his wife Melissa Hoskins' death, having pleaded guilty to a new charge of reckless driving causing harm.
The new charge against Dennis is based on recklessness, indicating there was no intent to harm his wife, which was necessary for the previous original charges.
Magistrate Justin Wickens noted that Dennis was aware of the risk his driving posed to Hoskins, pointing to a level of recklessness in his actions.
The aggravated offence acknowledges the couple's relationship, as the maximum penalty for the charge can lead up to seven years' imprisonment.
