this judge was indeed on the forum and was also involved in another cycling death case. she must have one hell of a county, 2 dead cyclists in a year. im so glad i went to UIC (chicago) rather than urbana.
I have mixed feelings about this. SHe did throw the book at the guy in this case and in her post sounds concerned. but in this case she just let that useless biatch fly.
Rietz is the state's attorney here, not the judge. She's the one who made the decision to go with the improper lane usage charge instead of something more serious.
