This makes me angry... when does it become a crime?

I knew this couple, they were a fixture in the local community and everyone knew their bike. She was blind and her beloved husband is mentally handicapped, they were such a loving couple, caring for each other. Now Cindy is dead and David is alone.

the guy's alibi stinks too. Very very sad story.

That just sucks. The system stinks. If there aren't any extenuating circumstances for bad driving (DUI, cell use, blinded by sun rise/set), the you can get away with killing someone with your car? Oops, I didn't mean to? Not only take away the dude's driver's license, sell the car, while he's in jail.

The opinion has been put forth that in Illinois, if you want someone dead simply use your car as there are very few consequences to committing murder using a car.

It's the same way in Oklahoma, too.

This story saddens and sickens me at the same time.

When will the law protect us? If he hit another car and killed someone he certainly wouldn't have gotten off with two minor fines. Disgusting.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

It's just maddening that nothing has changed in the five years since Matt (another local rider) was killed by some dumbass downloading ringtones while she drove!!
