Drunk Driver kills cyclist sentenced

Agreed, this kind of thing makes me want to puke.  It's like the laws are designed to be lenient on the fat, lazy, alcoholics but do nothing to protect those who are actually ambitious enough to be up at that hour doing something to better themselves (not on their way home from an all night bender).

1 year is beyond insulting, regardless of extenuating circumstances (although there are none that I can think of).

She is an elected judge in my County.

This decision has guaranteed my active involvement on behalf of her opponent in any future electoral campaigns.

Her rationale was based on the circumstances of the accident: "The bicyclist, traveling in a driving lane at night, was wearing dark clothing and lacked proper lights or reflectors on his bike." Also, I can't find anything stating that this was his second offense.

For anyone interested in politely and in an adult manner communicating to the judge that you whole-heartedly disagree with her decision and, like marmadaddy, will be supporting her opposition adamantly at the next election...

Figgers.  This dude's probably been walking the streets for the last year and a half with the family still grieving and when they finally get to trial he probably won't even spend the full year in jail. 

I remember the guy that Jen was talking about.  Glad to here he's walking again (kinda).  Hopefully justice is a bit more brutal with our friends up north.
