Crocodile tears...you can bet he was sorry. Sorry he was actually going to go to PRISON where there are REAL criminals. The mindset of those who consider themselves of a priviledged class is such a joke. This guy IS a criminal and has been convicted IN a court of law by a jury of his peers. The judge wasn't buying it and that's why he lowered the boom. Good for him. He'll get out after a year or 2 for good behavior and he'll be properly contrite and GENUINELY remorseful. There wont be a shred of arrogance left. I heard the sound of the bars closing ONE TIME in my life and resolved to NEVER hear it again. Jail has a sobering effect. You could tell the cyclists weren't buying his 'tearful apology' either. It was like, "eff you, dude. You should've thought of that before you slammed on your brakes." Instead of manning up and owning it he calls on his dad to pinch hit for him and throws himself on the mercy of the court. Strike three, buddy yer IN. Bugs Bunny quote alert..."Whata maroon!"
