Jury reduces charges, then convicts motorist in TOSRV bicycle fatality
A jury took less than two hours to reduce the charges against a woman who struck and killed a bicyclist in last year's Tour of the Scioto River Valley (TOSRV).
The motorist was originally charged with the third-degree felony of leaving the scene of a fatal accident. The Pike County, Ohio, jury on Wednesday reduced the charge to a misdemeanor crime of leaving the scene of an accident.
The jury reasoned (and I'm using the term loosely) that because the bicyclist suffered head injuries that killed him instantly, the motorist's failure to stop did not in and of itself result in the bicyclist's death.
The third-degree felony carries a 1- to 5-year prison sentence; the maximum punishment for a misdemeanor conviction is a 6-month sentence and $1,000 fine

2010 Tour of California will be raced in May
Mark your calendars: The 2010 edition of the Amgen Tour of California is scheduled for May 16-23.
This change could be a good or a bad thing. The race previously has been scheduled for a week in February for its first four years.
Good: May is a much more weather-friendly month in California than February. In fact, a couple of stages in the past two years have been downright miserable.
Bad: The dates put it smack dab in the middle of next year's Giro d'Italia, which has been the cycling world's focus in May for decades …
