Hit-and-Run Driver Sentenced to 90 Days in Jail
|
Angelina Everett was sentenced to 90 days in jail after a hit-and-run conviction. Cycling activists are celebrating the verdict after the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office and the City Attorneys office at first declined to press charges. An organized protest ride took place on Feb. 24th tracing the route the victim, Ed Magos, would take every morning. The next day Los Angeles police chief, Charlie Beck, responded to the protests in a news conference where he promised a new investigation into the crash. The city attorney's office later decided to take up the case. Bicycle activists have fought for harsher punishments for motorists who hit cyclists. "Cyclists need to be considered viable users of the road, and drivers need to ensure the safety of everyone on the road," said Aurisha Smolarski of the Los Angeles COunty Bicycle Coalition. Superior Court Judge Elaine Mandel sentenced Everett to 90 days in jail and she will also have to pay restitution of nearly $20,000 to cover Magos' medical expenses and lost wages.
