That's a travesty of justice, ho'. How is that sentence even possible?

The jail sentence and debt are and should be two separate issues.
You don't buy your way out of jail because you can reimburse your victim.
Sentences tend to be a little to[o] short, and I'm not a fan of time off. And this guy already had some trouble in another state?
No, justice was not served on either count.

Sue him in civil court.

The prosecution sucked. The judge was a nutcase.
But in the end the lack of absolute physical proof that the cyclist proceeded on a green light, despite two very strong eyewitness testimonies, got the killer off.

It depends. If you're in a one-party state and you are one of the parties then your not required to notify the other party:

The state of AZ has a judgment on him from my understanding but there's nothing to stop him from leaving the state (like he did in NH) once out. I suppose I could file a suit against him but where he lives after his prison sentence is anyone's guess.
I can only hope for Karma to catch up with him.

for the most part, the only way you get in real trouble for killing someone with a car is if you do it while drunk.

Varies by state. Lots of prosecution and jail time here in Colorado for stupid driving and killing a passenger. Though not always.

Around here, cyclists don't pay much attention to lights or stop signs, so unfortunately I can see where "reasonable doubt" that the cyclist may have also been in the intersection illegally could be a viable defense for the motorist.
