I have no doubt that he's lawyered up. Even if he hasn't, he have very little to lose by showing up to plead not guilty....UNLESS.....he makes claims that would perjure himself.....(boy, I hope he does). If he has a lawyer, that won't happen, because all he has to say is "he came from out of nowhere", "just didn't see him", etc.

I have to make sure that I bring lots of evidence to rebut that - there are WELL-MARKED signs on both sides of the crossing, stopped traffic with witnesses, and my GPS evidence. I know that this isn't the OJ trial, but it's MY case, and I want the guy to get the conviction.
