A driver who killed a 46-year-old bicyclist while texting on her phone in Outagamie County was sentenced to one-fifth of the maximum allowable 5 year prison sentence under Wisconsin law (she will serve a year in jail instead). She will also serve 500 hours of community service.
The Wisconsin Bicycle Federation is gathering input about whether the sentence is appropropriate.
