Yes- you are correct, and hopefully, because of this gross injustice to a cyclist, the event will be pulled from Vail, and given to another worthy town, or.......the DA could do the right thing here. The we'd all be satisfied, I think.<br /><br />@Bruther: Well, the DA in this case made a round-a-bout argument that the lesser charges would "stay with the accused" his whole life, but that the felony charge would impinge on his ability to pay damages because of the severity of the "felony" term in the accused man's line of work. <br /><br />Umm......I don't buy that for a minute, it isn't justice, but something else predicated on money, and the DA is a lawyer, no? <br /><br />Sorry, but I stand behind my original statement. <br /><br />@Bill G: No worries! I'm glad you spread the word on this.Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-7605888291957711722010-11-08T20:01:52.588-05:002010-11-08T20:01:52.588-05:00Mark,

The decision should come as no surprise to anyone who followed what happened in the case of Bob Breedlove. How much is a cyclist's (etc.) life wort in Colorado? $35 and 24 hrs. Community service. <br /><br />http://outsideonline.com/outside/culture/200611/bob-breedlove-biking-death-1.html?page=3d.p.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07000183055150562919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-45030290332431481972010-11-08T17:26:10.495-05:002010-11-08T17:26:10.495-05:00Might I suggest not blaming it on "a lawyer&q...Might I suggest not blaming it on "a lawyer" who got involved but the jack hole that decided it was a good idea to, rather than take his punishment, hire a lawyer who obviously did his job and a prosecutor who did not? That is the root problem with society, blaming someone else for the original idiots lack of morals, ethics, responsibility. Please, the bottom line is there is one villian in this story, and it is the original source of the horrific crime committed (and probably his rich irresponsible parents). And yes, I am an attorney and cyclist.Brutherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566066002013040869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-63850486929582428332010-11-08T11:37:45.918-05:002010-11-08T11:37:45.918-05:00There are few enough cycling events out there and ...There are few enough cycling events out there and with the economic climate out there right now do we want to beat up on a race venue? There has to be some other way to send out the message that what is happing in this case is a gross injustice and should not be tolerated. I agree a message should be sent , not at this target though.richard1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02372284316003342756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-3536939350261014372010-11-08T11:37:05.180-05:002010-11-08T11:37:05.180-05:00I'm glad you posted about this.

I read of it earlier in another post but I think the more people that read about this idea of "justice" the better off we all are.Wallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702260247824786727noreply@blogger.com
