Came across this article today, about as stiff a penalty as one could hope for, basically life for this guy.
" A man buzzed on painkillers and other drugs when his pickup truck plowed into a pack of Michigan bicyclists, killing five, was sentenced Monday to at least 40 years in prison after he tearfully expressed regret over the rural road tragedy."
I know that many of you probably knew some of these folks, or know someone that knew them. It hit very close to our community. I feel bittersweet about this whole thing, on one hand nothing brings back those people, or the pain their passing caused others. But at least the guy responsible will be paying the ultimate price, so perhaps a sign to others when encountering cyclists on the road. One mans freedom doesnt even come close to balancing the scales on all those lives lost and broken, but it is all we got I guess...
