Thank you for asking!  I didn't realize you were the Hall Monitor and Attendance Taker for this proceeding.

I didn't realize, too, that I was supposed to enumerate my attendance.  

Thank you for your comments and continued following on this subject.  When the trial is over and justice is obtained for Bobby Cann, your continued vigilance will be appreciated.

Wow, so this is what cyber-bullying looks like.

Nice work h'. Maybe when they get the moderator functionality one of their first jobs is to moderate your immature comments. Alex, your +1 is unhelpful and you too are lumped in here.

I appreciate that Bob has posted here. I also appreciate that I don't have to attend the hearings to keep updated. For the record, I have not attended a single courtroom session. Does that make me unhelpful or disinterested? And, who says that Active Trans is the owner of any plan?

Sorry, was not trying to criticize but I could not find the information re the latest court date. (Is there a way to pin that information at the top of the thread. Thanks for the update:

The next court appearance of Ryne Sanhamel in the alleged killing of Bobby Cann is this coming Thursday, September 4th, at 10:00 AM in courtroom 301 with Judge Hooks presiding.

Ryne Sanhamel, while allegedly driving drunk with an alleged Blood-Alcohol level of .127 allegedly drove into and allegedly killed cyclist Bobby Cann. All this happened over a year ago and we don't want it forgotten. This is at the Cook County Criminal Court building at 26th and California.

So true. Somehow I don't think that Bob is going stop demanding that we update him on every word said during the hearings, no matter how many reasonable requests you make.

Bob,

There are a lot of people putting in time on this. The notification list that Jason sends info out to has reportedly hundreds of names. Active Trans, which historically has tended to be funding driven in terms of what it devotes resources to has come up with a structured, long term approach to helping assure there is justice in these cases.  I think it would be nice if you could refrain from posting regular demeaning comments directed at those who choose to participate in this process.  If, in all this time, you had even attended one hearing, it would not look quite so ridiculous that you sit behind your keyboard and post little jabs at those who are in many cases missing work and traveling considerable distances to be part of this process.

A refresher for those who may be forgetting or aren't aware of this:

  The death of Bobby Cann shook Chicago's bicycling community to its core.  On a May 29th 2013 at around 6:35 p.m., Cann was struck and killed by Ryne San Hamel who was allegedly driving his Mercedes sedan 20 miles per hour over the speed limit.  San Hamel was charged with driving under the influence, having an alleged blood alcohol content of .127, well over the legal limit.  There was immediate wide spread outrage at the driver, heartfelt empathy for Cann's family and many friends, and fear among regular city cyclists.  A temporary memorial popped up at the site of the crash, which occurred outside of iconic Chicago bike shop Yojimbo's Garage.  In October, Clybourn Avenue was named Honorary Bobby Cann Way.  That same month The Reader featured Cann on its front page with the headline, "Death of a Cyclist." - See more at: http://www.mybikeadvocate.com/2013/12/2013-years-biggest-bicycle-st...

Why haven't you asked anyone else, besides me, this question?

A year and a half later they're hiring a brake specialist? You'd think they'd have nailed this down by now. I don't know how good anyone's brakes are after a car has been sitting for a year and a half. Also, chain of custody? Where has this car been all this time?

Seems odd.

Rest assured I was on the internet within minutes, registering my disgust throughout the world.

Thanks for the update, John - particularly about the car.  I've asked about that after several of the last hearings and never got a response.

Also, it was about 4 months after the crash that they got his license revoked, so he won't get it back until a long time after this case is settled.  He had serveral DUI charges plead down in municipal courts.
