Barbara Thomas was finally sentenced for hitting and killing two local cyclists last August. The price of two lives in Colorado Springs? Three years.
Ms. Thomas is a very well used 64 years old (she has made poor lifestyle decisions over the years, resulting in her taking 18 - EIGHTEEN!!! - daily prescriptions on top of using an oxygen tank) so I'm guessing the stress of prison life isn't gonna allow her to complete her sentence. Hopefully her end comes sooner rathat than later to save taxpayers the cost of all those meds.
See the Gazette story here.
The light sentence kinda puts a damper on tomorrow's bike-to-work day.

It's amazing how our judicial system is so lenient with taking lives with cars versus other weapons. Wanna kill someone? Run 'em over, but be sure to be drunk or on drugs as to really make it look like an accident!
To be fair to the judge, they were only cyclists. It's not like they were runners or anything.
Sounds like she won't last 3 years...
