I cannt answer your question as to "WHY" this driver was driving 2 years after the first murder, but I can tell you about a recent driver in my area of VA who killed a cyclist and the results. The driver is a prominent woman, mother of 2, who apparently was talking on cell phone and discipling children in minivan, not paying attention to road and accidently hit a cyclist. The cyclist was another prominent citizen, a heart surgeon. The driver got charged with RECKLESS DRIVING and a $1500 fine because the law states that you have to have proof of INTENT or be under the influence to charge murder -- she clearly did not fit the murder criteria when she killed the cyclist. She is out driving her minivan again (probably with cell phone and kids).

Maybe in the first case of this 19-year old, he got off with something like reckless driving. I don't know. Personally, I feel the laws need to change to protect cyclists ... but that is another post.
