dbo:abstract
  • Elijah Doughty, a 14-year-old Indigenous Australian riding a motorbike, was involved in a fatal traffic collision with a ute on 29 August 2016. The 56-year-old white male driver of the ute was also the owner of the motorcycle, which he had reported stolen the previous day. He was chasing Doughty at the time, but there is no evidence that Doughty had stolen the motorbike, with his friends claiming that he was handed the bike at Gribble Creek Reserve, where he was killed. The driver was subsequently charged with manslaughter but was acquitted by a jury on 21 July 2017 after a trial at the Supreme Court of Western Australia. However, he was found guilty of the lesser charge of dangerous driving causing death. The incident led to significant protests and increased racial tensions within Kalgoorlie, with accusations that the driver was not charged with or convicted of a more serious crime only because Doughty was Indigenous.
