A "selfish" shoplifter who killed a woman when he pushed her out of the way in his bid to escape those pursuing him has been jailed for six years.
Joseph Smith was fleeing with a bundle of socks from Sports Direct in Sunderland when he shoved 68-year-old Christine Vasey to the ground in October, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
Mrs Vasey, a Sunderland fan from Doncaster - who was on Wearside with her husband to watch a Black Cats game - died several days later from the head injuries sustained when she fell to the pavement.
Smith, 37, admitted offences including manslaughter and theft, and must serve a further four years on extended licence upon his release from prison.
