Judge Ignores Critical Evidence in Trial of Cyclist's Killer
In a move that has stunned and outraged the Bay Area's bike community, retired Judge Herb Donaldson ruled felony charges cannot be brought against truck driver Rueben Espinosa. Espinosa ran over and killed 30 year old Chris Robertson with his 18 wheel truck 5 months ago, in an incident many cyclists openly refer to as murder. Local bike activists are outraged, calling for a massive turnout at this month's April 27 Critical Mass bike ride in San Francisco, to protest the failure of the justice system to protect cyclists.
