Actually it was the right thing to do. Since originally posting about this issue I came into some information regarding the cyclist. He had many previous run-ins with drivers. He was a serious drunk with a temper problem. As much as I would have liked to see Bryant made to experience the full extent of the justice system he feels is too good for some people, especially after hearing his gratitude for how well our system works with respect to 'innocent until proved guilty', this isn't something that he should own.

It didn't go to trial because there was "no reasonable prospect of conviction." In other words the evidence tended to support Bryant's story; not completely, but enough that they could never convict.
