Justice for Milt Olin Ride and Vigil
Milt Olin, on the right, with his two sons.Yesterday we learned that the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office would not be pressing charges against the sheriff’s deputy who struck and killed Milt Olin in Calabasas last December. The sheriff’s deputy was typing on his mobile computer in his patrol car when he struck Olin at 48 miles per hour. Olin, a prominent entertainment attorney and former executive for Napster, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, Yield to Life, and Ghost Bike Foundation will host a ride and vigil for Milt Olin to call on the D.A. to revisit the investigation and consider pressing charges.
