The following article was written by Bobby Riggins, one of the cyclists involved in the auto-bike accident.

This morning (January 29) the punishment hearing was held for Kevin Wayne Riddle who had previously pled guilty to criminally negligent homicide with a deadly weapon for the death of Bruce Maughs and the injury to Tim Hunt, Barbara Carlson and myself. Tim, Barbara and I each testified today as did Ginger Maughs. Kevin Wayne Riddle took the stand to plead for leniency but, I think, hurt his case by being defensive and never taking responsibility for the crime despite shedding well-timed tears. He also brought a bus load of supporters.

Fortunately the judge could separate fact from fiction and sentenced Kevin Wayne Riddle to 4 years in the Texas Department of Corrections (most likely Huntsville). He will be eligible for parole after serving 2 years.

I greatly appreciate everyone's support and encouragement during the last 18 months and look forward to putting this behind me. It's now time to move on. Thanks again!
