Jim Swarzman Hit and Run Trial

[Nicole Honda]

Hi NCCC members

My name is Nicole Honda.  Jim Swarzman, my fiance, was killed by a hit and run driver in Leucadia, CA in April.  His killer's trial starts July 12 (through probably the 15th) in Vista, CA.  Much like the Mandeville Canyon trial, I think having the courtroom full of cyclists sends a very important message to the judge and jury and it would be a huge comfort to me.

I'm looking for support from all your members.  Can you please get the word out and ask them to come, for a day, for an hour, whatever they can do.  I know everyone is busy, but we are a community and need to stand together.  Your presence will make a difference.

Location: North County Courthouse
325 S Melrose Drive
Vista, CA
The 5 story building. You need to ask which courtroom once you get there
Starts at 8:45 but they usually start a little late. They usually end by 5 pm
Come any day of the week, any time

thank you so much for helping me get the word out

Nicole

Hello Nicole,
I am a member of the City of Oceanside Bicycle Committee and the NCCC VP. Please email me at nc3vp@northcountycycleclub.com. I would like to send you a letter encouraging the prosecution to charge the killer with manslaughter. I will also request other cycling clubs and business do whatever we can to support you.
