It’s my understanding that the MPD has issued the final report on the circumstances surrounding the death of cyclist Alice Swanson, and that no charges will be made. I will try to get a copy of that report, and post it here, before coming to my own conclusions.
Update: the “Final Overview Memo” was actually issued on December 18, 2008. Reading it made me angry and sad. Out of deference to a legitimate request, I’m going to leave it at that, for now.
