mybikelaw is honored to represent the Burke family. It has been a tragic ordeal for them, but we are pleased to report that the driver (after four months of investigation) has been charged with Reckless Homicide, a South Carolina crime that carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison. Much more to come, and we will continue to post developments of the criminal prosecution. This is a massive victory for the bicycle community and it shows that our rights to road are being taken more seriously.
Go here for the story from the Augusta Chronicle.
