You are mixing the possible outcomes.

The poll should be:

Innocent or traffic violation
Manslaughter - no penalty
Manslaughter - suspended or conditional
Manslaughter - 0-5 yrs
Manslaughter - 6-10 yrs
Manslaughter - life
Murder 2 - life

or some such list

We don't have enough information to make a proper final decision. Once the videos come out and a few more eyewitness accounts come forward... we should have a better idea.

But at this stage Bryant is guilty... the only question is on what level.

Dingbat cyclist is also guilty... but he's already serving his penalty.

I will not speculate until I know the facts.

The same here folks. There's only three people who know absolutely
what happened at this time and one of them is dead.

Oh fer gawd sake, we don't even have all the evidence yet. !!!:rolleyes:

You've been here for over a year and you still think that matters to a good percentage of the people here? Heck they had already tarred and feathered him with hiring an SP when the first report came out that he had a women in the car with him........
 
I've met and talked with Michael Bryant.

My impression is that he was a nice, intelligent, family man. I thought to myself, this could be future Ontario premier.

Pure speculation. From reading events, he might have paniced due to aggressive action of cyclist. Being ex-attorney general, ex-native affairs minister, he might have cause for personal safety. Also, simply put, he is a small man, about 5'5" or so and slim.
 
Considering none of us knows anything except what's been in the news—and that's rumour, speculation, gossip and sensation as much as might be fact—and considering there's neither an option for Don't know, won't say til I do, nor Just Unlucky; Everything Went Wrong At Once, this is a silly exercise that denmeans reasonable people like the tabloid journalism that is its only basis.

What he said.

I have also met Bryant and talked with him at length... he is a very decent kind of guy... a most unlikely candidate for irresponsible conduct or the kind of reaction that his worst critics are now levelling at him.

I thought Kobe was found not guilty, no? And the next day his wife was found with a huge rock on her finger.

It can be 100% self defence and also manslaughter at the same time.
It IS vehicular homicide regardless of any charges or convictions
etc.
Sorry... you are talking through your hat.

I've actually interacted with Mr. Bryant at workplace, very nice man.

At times, at other times he can be a prick, he's a control freak, but then again, all Type A personalities are. I should look in the mirror, lol. :o
 
With limited info I have so far I have to go with acquittal (self-defense).
But that could change as more evidence comes out

I really hope his trial is on CourtTV, you can learn a lot
 
I think they should just drop all charges against Bryant.

He was viciously attacked by an insane street level hoodlum barbarian. I have no sympathy at all for the dead man.
When you do the things this cyclist did there's a chance of getting killed and he paid the price.

The cops are still investigating. How did you come to "know" so much so fast?
