Somehow I'm not surprised.
Harvey Bryant is a politician.
There are far more drivers than cyclists in Virginia Beach.
He knows better than to infuriate the voters who gave him his job .

Even though Harvey Bryant leads a team of "94 dedicated men and women who help prepare and prosecute approximately 16,000 cases per year," he can't find sufficient evidence “that would substantiate a criminal prosecution.” Apparently there are SIXTEEN THOUSAND crimes more important than the a citizen being killed on the roads of Virginia Beach.
I'm not asking for a charge of Second Degree Murder, or even Vehicular Manslaughter. I'd settle for Reckless Endangerment. So there isn't enough evidence for a felony? Well, Dan Hersh is dead, and I'd think that would be enough evidence for a misdemeanor.
If Dan's killer claims she didn't see him, then maybe she should take the driver's license exam again. After a 12 month wait.

Any chance there's a civil suit in the works? I really hope this isn't the last we hear of this.
I don't know of any civil suit, yet. Not being an attorney, I don't know if it could only be filed by his family, or if it could be filed by other interested parties, e.g. the cycling community.
I'm no lawyer either, but I expect it would have to be the family. But if OJ's trial is any gauge, there is a somewhat lower burden of proof in the civil courts.
