TRENTON -- A Trenton man was sentenced to nine years in prison yesterday for punching a bicyclist in the face, a blow that knocked him off his bike and killed him.
Robert L. Wilson, 37, apologized to the victim's family and told Superior Court Judge Darlene Perek sta that he never meant to kill Larry Berry.

Wilson and Berry, 48, had ar gued before the incident, police said. Berry was riding his bike at about 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 30, 2007, in Seiger Alley, off Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard when Wilson hit him. Berry fell and struck his head on the pavement. He succumbed to his injuries later that day.
Wilson, who pleaded guilty to reckless manslaughter in November, could have faced up to 30 years in prison if not for the plea agreement, Assistant Prosecutor Thomas Meidt said.
Pereksta read a letter from Ber ry's mother, who said she is still grieving over the loss of her son and asked the judge to punish Wil son to the fullest extent of the law.

and the doctor from the mandeville thing is pleading not guilty. asshole.
A Brentwood physician who allegedly injured two cyclists last summer by slamming on his car brakes in front of them on Mandeville Canyon Road pleaded not guilty today. Prosecutor Mary Stone alleges that Christopher Thomas Thompson hit his brakes after a confrontation with cyclists who were riding down the narrow road.
The resulting impact flung one cyclist through the car’s rear window and the other to the pavement. Thompson, 59, allegedly told police during the July 4 incident that he stopped his red Infinity sedan in front of the cyclists to “teach them a lesson.” The physician complained that cyclists frequently traveled the residential street in Brentwood and that he was “tired of them,” Los Angeles police Officer Robert Rodriguez testified during a preliminary hearing last month.
Thompson is charged with one felony count of reckless driving causing injury and two felony counts of battery with serious injury, two counts of causing “great bodily injury” to the cyclists while attempting to commit a felony and one count of mayhem for other severe injuries to one of the cyclists. He also faces one count of misdemeanor reckless driving causing injury in an incident with another cyclist on the same road in March.
Thompson and his attorney are expected to move to dismiss the case next month; a trial has been set for March 6.
