The two cyclists hit were injured seriously enough that one of them rarely rides his bike anymore.
A physician accused of deliberately injuring two cyclists by slamming on his car's brakes on a narrow Brentwood road was convicted Monday of mayhem, assault with a deadly weapon and other serious criminal charges.
Dr. Christopher Thompson, 60, slumped forward and held his face in his hands after the verdicts were announced in a courtroom packed mostly with supporters and cyclists.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Mary Stone, who prosecuted the case, asked for Thompson to be jailed immediately, calling him a flight risk and a safety threat to cyclists.

I found this article about an 11-year-old girl giving birth on her wedding day absolutely tragic and disgusting--I don't care what cultural norms there are, either.
This one isn't the youngest mother in medical history, either.
