I am not sure if this has been posted before it did not come up on a search. Red light jumping Cyclist "too commited to stop" so ploughs in to pedestrians on cross walk killing one.

From the linked article:

Under the unusual plea deal last week, Chris Bucchere, 37, would not serve any jail time but would be sentenced to three years probation and 1,000 hours of community service following the death of Sutchi Hui of San Bruno, district attorney George Gascon said.

Can't see how this doesn't deserve a custodial sentence, it doesn't read like it was an accident.
