For what it's worth...Bucchere's own account, posted on the Mission Cycling blog some hours after the crash but then deleted, is not necessarily trustworthy.  For instance there were eyewitnesses who said he went through a red light.   A security camera's video shown at the hearing cast some doubt on that, but what was also clear was that he did not 'lay the bike down' but went directly into the pedestrians, still in an aero tuck.

Even if he entered the intersection on a (very late) yellow, he was still clearly riding recklessly, 'too committed to stop' in his own admission. 

The victim's family was indeed very merciful to not want a heavier sentence.  But then there may be a civil case.
