Thank you, Jason!

That's what I was talking about.

Thanks, Jason, great work.

So the point of all this secrecy was to help the prosecution hide things from the defense attorneys? Sorry, I can't support that. Everybody deserves due process.
Jason, great work. Thanks!.
I surely appreciate all the effort you and the court advocates are putting in.

Thanks for the great work Jason. Revocation is a ridiculously difficult restriction to overcome. It's very appropriate.

I love this post on so many different levels. In three short sentences, it communicates irony, hyperbole, a stubborn unwillingness to accept the limitations of a prior argument, and a dogged self-righteousness. It continues to misconstrue facts, draw false conclusions, and impugn the criminal justice process...

Every time this thread becomes too Kastigar-intensive, (and it is virtually guaranteed to become too Kastigar-intensive) I pledge to bump this comment.  Thanks to Jason and the court advocates who actually show up.

By contrast, your 5-sentence post manages to say absolutely nothing of any consequence.

Actually, all of your constitution rights, such as due process, are referring to criminal trials, not about driving.  Remember your Driver's Ed class: "Driving is a privilege, not a right."

Sanhamel still has his freedom, so far.  Sanhamel still has his life, so far.  All of us have the right to life and liberty which can't be removed until after being found guilty of a crime.  

Due process isn't a requirement for revocation of the privilege of driving; he can still travel by bicycle.  
 
This was a correct process to follow by the Assistant States Attorney and if the defense attorney didn't see this coming they weren't paying much attention or they just knew it wouldn't do any good to oppose.

Amen!

Quick reminder: TOMORROW, Friday 15th, at 1:00 PM: Honorary Street Sign installation for Bobby Cann Way; see the calendar.  

http://www.thechainlink.org/events/honorary-street-sign-for-bobby-c...

This Friday, October 25th at 1 p.m., 27th Ward Alderman Walter Burnett is designating the street where he was struck and killed as “Honorary Bobby Cann Way”. The ceremony will take place at Clybourn and Larrabee and will last about an hour. Alderman Burnett, Executive Director of Active Transportation Alliance Ron Burke, and a member of Bobby’s family will speak. A large crowd is expected, as Bobby has become something of a symbol of bike safety here in Chicago and the need for more, better cycling infrastructure.

Please attend this event if you can in solidarity with Bobby’s friends and family as well as those of all cyclists who have been injured or killed on the streets of our wonderful, flawed city.

Excellent, and probably most in depth article surrounding the crash to date, put out by the Reader today.
