THE parents of a boy killed by a driver who jumped a red light told her: “You may as well have killed all of us.”;
Christopher Arnett’s dad Lee, 49, faced Evie Wiles in court yesterday to tell her that she had stolen his son’s future, adding: “I will never forgive you.”;



And the boy’s chemistry teacher mum Claire, 52, told his killer: “I mourn the fact I won’t watch him grow into a man. He was one of my best friends.
“My family and I will never forgive you for putting us through a trial and this horrific ordeal.
“You not only killed Christopher, you may as well have killed all of us. Our lives will never be the same again.”;
Wiles, now 25, had been texting her girlfriend as she drove her Seat Leon to pick her up to go to a football match.
She went through a red light and hit 14-year-old Christopher as he walked home from playing with pals after school.
Former mortgage company office worker Wiles showed no emotion when she was for five and a half years at crown yesterday.
And she was similarly unmoved when her victim’s parents addressed the court. Claire railed at her: “You’ve not once said sorry. You never even called 999.”;
The mum of two was unable to hold her fan son’s hand as his life support was turned off a day after the crash in Hemel Hempstead, , on February 2, 2023.
Claire said: “I wanted to hold him. I wanted to kiss his face. But they wouldn’t let us take the tubes out.
“It’s a very peaceful process and I’m honoured that I was there for it. I was there when he was born, I was there when he died.”;
Wiles was found guilty in January of causing Christopher’s death by dangerous driving.
She had been messaging her partner â but claimed the lad had not used the crossing properly.
Judge Andrew Hatton told her: “You were distracted by your phone.”;
