"At about 10:25 A.M., a Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Deputy heading the opposite direction in his cruiser crossed the double yellow line and drove head-on into the three cyclists."
"As one cyclist was lying dead in the road, another lay dying, and a third was writhing in agony, the Deputy is reported to have paced the road, saying "my life is over" and "my
career is over."

Charges against deputy suggested
The California Highway Patrol is recommending that criminal charges be filed against a sheriff's deputy who killed two cyclists after crashing his patrol car into a group of them.
The CHP report came after a month long investigation into the incident, and says Santa Clara County prosecutors should file two charges of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter against Deputy James Council, 27.
Council was on patrol March 9 when his car smashed into a group of bicyclists on a training ride. Matt Peterson, 29, and Kristy Gough, 30, died.
If convicted, Council could serve up to two years in prison. The report's conclusions show that CHP investigators do not believe the deputy is guilty of gross negligence such as drunken driving, a felony charge carrying much harsher penalties.
The Santa Clara County district attorney's office is reviewing the report and will decide whether to file charges.

"If convicted, Council could serve up to two years in prison. The report's conclusions show that CHP investigators do not believe the deputy is guilty of gross negligence such as drunken driving, a felony charge carrying much harsher penalties. "
gross negligence should also mean hot-dogging it on a curvy road. something I think this guy was doing based on his former conviction.
"up - to" two years? god help us all

the media bias theme of the article is really significant, and really depressing. i'm really depressed right now. it's a great piece of writing though.

It is.
To answer eddieboyinla's question, I would probably be doing the same things I'm doing now, just in a more hysterical fashion.
The Sheriff's Department needs to learn that I don't have to lose a close friend in order to call them out on their cover-ups. I don't have to be overcome by grief in order to hold them responsible for illegal behavior. I'm not personally feeling the loss of these cyclists. But I'm watching, and I'm pissed. In a way, it's even more powerful when I file a complaint. My vision isn't clouded by grief.
Thank you, Roadblock, for posting the complaint information.
