I suggest reading the jury foreman's response linked in a previous post. The jury did no know about all the previous DWI convictions since they were deemed inadmissable as evidence. The prosecutor also did not make a good case for the possible effects of the drugs in the motorcyclist's system. While I agree the defendants got off too lightly, it appears the prosecutor presented the cases poorly.I don't know the justice system but is there rany chance for a re-trial? Justice is clearly not served.
Usually, only the defendant can appeal in a criminal case. At this point, the family of the victim could try to start a civil case, although I'm not sure what they would base it on to be most effective.
