The DA is not even pressing charges, and explains why at http://redding.com/news/2008/jan/22/criminal-charges-could-not-stand-up-in-redding/<br/><br/>Personally, I don't see much difference between barrelling down the road while not even watching where your going, and driving drunk. In both cases, you make the choice to engage in what you know to be irresponsible behavior that winds up killing someone.

Thanks for posting the link for the article in the Citizen. The cyclist, Paul A. L’Ecuyer, sounds like a outstanding person.

Please post any additional details if you come across them. How long before Arrington is elligable for parole; can she get her license back after getting out of jail, etc?

My thoughts go out to Paul’s family.
