It's laughable. He basically took Bryant at his word even though Bryant's account of the event defies logic, witness statements and videos that are posted on youtube.

For a rational discussion of the case:

Have you seen the video of Bryant's apparent stalling of the engine, then ramming into Sheppard in first gear? (What cyclists believe was the true first aggression - Bryant's - that sent Sheppard into a rage.)

What is most disturbing about the dropping of the charges is that there are other glaring errors in Mr. Pecks reasoning:

1) One can clearly see in the video that Mr. Bryant's car is stopped when Mr. Sheppard pulls in front of him; Mr. Peck says Bryant had to "hit the brakes" causing the car to stall.

2) Mr. Bryant claims to have then panicked and thrown the clutch again and shoved Sheppard some 30 feet and to the ground. Peck claims the car remained in first gear the whole time; Yet we see clearly in the video that the reverse lights come on, the car backs up with absolutely no clutch problem, Bryant attempts to flee the scene, and Mr. Sheppard grabs onto the car in an attempt to keep him at the scene (bike couriers know to try to grab the keys - Saab ignitions are between the two seats not on the steering column). Toronto Star claims - according to Bryant and his wife - at the point Mr. Sheppard said: "You're not going to get away that easy."

3) Mr. Peck's report claims Mr. Sheppard had harassed other motorists in the weeks leading up to his murder, yet more than half of the claims think it "may have been him", and none of the claims (including a 65 year old woman) claim they felt their life was in danger.

4) Last but certainly not least, Mr. Peck is obviously on Bryant's side in misleading the public when he reports the car traveled "at an average speed of 34 kilometres per hour". This is an odd way to say that the top speed of the car hit 68 kms/hr (as most witnesses claimed yet were dismissed).

Judge for yourself, video: http://bit.ly/XsOwY

If someone "mistakenly" ran you down for 30 feet, and tried to leave the scene because you "got up so quickly - and did not look hurt"? Wouldn't you try to grab the keys and have the careless driver charged?
