Well, hallelujah for such a resounding guilty verdict. I'm glad a jury of likely non-cycling peers saw through him.

Maybe he'll serve some prison time??
Lets get real here. He needs to spend some time in the pokey with those mean dudes. Then he can learn first hand on what it means to be frightened or to be intimidated.
vindictive? may be so...

From VeloNews:
Thompson will be sentenced Dec. 3. He faces a maximum of ten years in prison, but with no prior criminal record, he in unlikely to receive the maximum.
I was so relieved to hear that he was convicted. I think the evidence showed without a doubt that his actions were malicious, but you never can be too sure in a jury trial.Last edited by AllezGirl; 11-03-2009 at 04:51 AM. Reason: grammar police

I'm glad to see this result; hopefully, it will make others who want to use road rage against cyclist think twice about their actions!
