    John Peckham's killer sentenced

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Some of you might remember John Peckham's death last fall. He was on a ride in Palo Alto with the Alto Velo team when he was stuck by a drunk driver. The driver was sentenced to 19 years in prison.

    I do not wish this man well - I hope he serves all 19 years, and has a miserable time.

    From the Mercury News:
    Witnesses told police that Bailey opened a beer after the crash and said: "I thought I was going to die, but I got out of the car like a soldier, cracked a beer and downed it.''


    This was said after he killed John Peckham.

    That is just sickening, 19 years almost too short with a quote like that.
