Drunk Driver get 15 years to life
Joseph Lynchard, a repeat drunk driver, just pled guilty to 2nd degree Homicide, for the death of Katherine Black, cyclist. Katherine had been standsing with her bike, 5 feet off the road, when Lynchard hit her. he had been drinking at his brothers' bar. His brother lost his liquor permit months ago. Lynchard has been sitting in jail for 2 years since the "accident". I personally saw Lynchard at a court hearing last year when I showed up with other members of the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition to silently watch the proceedings. At his age and apparent health I expect he will die in jail.
I will post any useful updates as they happen
