Trial of cyclist killed by motorist

You may remember that in June that Christine Harrison lost her Marine husband to an inattentive motorist on West Lilac and 395.  March 17 the trial begins at the Vista Court House.  She has the support of the Marines, how about support from cyclists?  I'm encouraging anyone who can, to attend.  Save the date.  I will provide you with more information soon.  Thank you!

Christine Harrison is (understandably) very upset because the negligent driver who killed her husband is pleading "No Contest".  This means he agrees that he killed Cheif Warrent Officer Shawn Harrison but he isn't "guilty" of killing him.  By entering this plea the killer will likely receive little to no jail time. The pre-trial is scheduled at the Vista Courthouse, Monday March 17, 8:30 a.m.

If anyone has any legal suggestions/advice for Christine she would really appreciate it.  Please join me in attending.  Any questions, I can be reached at 760-445-3500.

Thank you!

That would be "Chief Warrant Officer" pardon my typos.
