Really. *And so much for his SuperLawyer defense attorney. *Schmucks.

Congratulations on your win. It sounds as if the jury had little
difficulty reaching the conclusion many of us were hoping for. A
verdict on the first day of deliberation after a three week trial is
practically an instantaneous decision. Almost a matter of "Anybody
think he's not guilty? No? OK, well let's at least talk about the
charges and fill out the paperwork properly."

It's Phoenix, but I've got to figure out a way to get that microbrew
to you more directly. Where are you?

You know, I want to amend that statement. There's nothing to be
satisfied about here. Two cyclists were injured, one with disfiguring
injuries, and skilled ER doctor, who probably fixed up a hundred
cyclists who crashed during his career, is looking at prison and has
had his career put it tatters by this incident. Nobody is coming out
ahead here. This isn't a victory, it's a tragedy.

I'm 16 miles east of Manhattan on Long Island. I'll hold you to that
beer - I know you're good for it. I have a brother in Phoenix who is
finishing building his guest house by the pool.

Very true Brad. Three points; He was a motorist at the time of the
incident. His being a Doctor should not matter. While there was no
winner in that case, cyclists in general benefitted that justice was
served. Read precident. Lastly, I would expect a civil suit to follow.
It was his pit-bull lawyer and his smug attitude that convicted him.

"It's sad for both sides," Stoehr said. "I lost a lot of my time and
my life, and he's losing a lot of his."

However, envision someone like the doctor doing what he did and
getting away with it. No, there is some satisfaction to be gained from
knowing and letting others know that acts such as the doctor's are not
without consequences and that even upscale citizens like the doctor
are not above the law. It is not strictly a "cycling" issue, it's a
"civilized society" issue.

True enough. If he had just expressed some remorse I think there
would have been some leniency. As it was his SuperLawyer (sheeesh)
was spouting bull**** and blaming someone who was injured.

None of this divisive red state blue state stuff. We've got to share
the road, right?
