Career of rising political star Michael Bryant, once touted as a future premier, was put on hold last year after a collision that claimed the life of bike courier Darcy Allan Sheppard
Owen Young, a bicycle courier for the past six years, said he fears Mr. Bryant's acquittal will mean "it's open season on cyclists." He said the former attorney general should have acknowledged his role in the events that led to Mr. Sheppard's death.
I agree with this. I don't think Bryant's actions were reasonable. I think he got the Jahim Raffer treatment. Take the case to open court and let the evidence come out and the case be decided on its merits then.

I think that would be a huge waste of time and money.
Have to agree with Robair on this one, the cyclist was drunk at twice the legal limit and had a violent history in this regard. I dont think there is a jury in the world that would convict this guy and send him to jail.

That one's easy to find, I just have to follow a neg rep...
