District Attorney George Gascon (pictured) says bicyclist Chris Bucchere’s agreeing to plead guilty to felony vehicular manslaughter for sailing through a crowded intersection in the Castro and killing 71-year-old pedestrian Sutchi Hui last year sends the proper message. That’s likely to be debated. Under a plea deal, Bucchere, 37, will be sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service, serve no time behind bars, and in six months he can have the felony conviction reduced to a misdemeanor.
