GUILTY on all counts

Doc Thompson was convicted on all charges. This was Tweeted by RoadID about an hour ago. Full Story

Good to hear.

Any updates on the health of the riders involved?

One rider talked about what sounds to me like a mild case of PTSD, flinches at brake lights even when driving, but all involved attended the trial and sentencing. They APPEAR to be in good health.

I saw it on another biking website.

That doctor has a prior history of doing that to cyclists. He has done it, two other times.

Any update on sentencing?

Any update on sentencing?

I was hoping that he would be fed to a pack of wolves.

 

[Farnsworth]

Do they still do that?

 

[Burr]

I sure want to know

I know he was found guilty, but I don't think he has been sentenced yet.

Wolves don't eat sh**; feed him to the coyotes!

Road rage doc sentenced to 5 years in prison - a victory for cyclists, but probably still stirs up ire among motorists...

Glad to hear it wasen't short jail time and Probation like the other case.

 

[Tarukai]

thank god he got jail time for that. Honestly, I can't believe his attorney kept pushing the "it was only an accident" **** the whole trial.

yeah, okay, slamming your brakes on intentionally (as said to the officer) is TOTALLY an accident, yep.

You know those old stories about our earliest predecessors, crawling up out of the primal ooze to take the land, evolve, and develop into us?

Most lawyers are what's left behind.

I'm glad he got serous jail time. With good behavior he'll be back to it in 18 months, but still it's good to see he didn't just get a slap on the wrist.
