Some on this list have openly asked, "What does it take to get a conviction when a driver kills a bicyclist?" For those of us in Madison, this was an especially difficult question to ponder after the driver who killed Jess Bullen was found not guilty.
Here's one answer: The driver has a blood alcohol content of 3X the legal limit at 2:30 PM - yes, in the afternoon, and she hits three bicyclists at the same time. That were riding on the sidewalk! Also note that this was a plea deal instead a trial, so we still don't know if she would have been convicted. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/W/WI_BICYCLISTS_STRUCK_WIOL-?SITE=WIMAD&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT Note that she was indeed charged with "homicide and injury by intoxicated use of a vehicle." -- Please note that my personal email has changed.
