A 35-year-old Indian-origin optometrist in the UK today won an appeal against her two-year suspended jail sentence for failing to spot a life-threatening condition on a little boy that resulted in his death. <br/><br/>Honey Rose had performed a routine eye test on eight-year-old Vincent Barker in February 2012. She failed to spot the life-threatening condition that led to the boy's death after five months. <br/><br/>Rose had denied charges of gross negligence amounting to manslaughter but was found guilty after a trial at Ipswich Crown Court in London last year. Today, the UK Court of Appeal admitted her plea and quashed her sentence for gross negligence manslaughter. <br/><br/>The three-member panel ruled that there had been a serious breach of duty by Rose but that it did not amount to the crime of gross negligence manslaughter which resulted in her suspended sentence.
