    The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is expected to give its reaction
    later to criticisms made at an inquest into the deaths of four cyclists.

    Harris should be in prison, Chief Inspector Lyn Adams should be
    sacked.

    Killer drivers get a slap on the wrist, pro-speeding apologists blame
    the cyclists for, errr, being on the road.

    The CPS said there was "no realistic prospect" of further convictions.

    In a statement, it said it had explained its decision not to prosecute
    Mr Harris in "detailed letters to the families of those who died in this
    tragic accident".

    The chief crown prosecutor has also met family members to explain the
    decision face-to-face and answer any questions.

    The CPS said "after the most detailed and careful consideration..the
    evidence showed that there was no realistic prospect of Mr Harris being
    found guilty of any driving offences".

    The decision not to prosecute was taken personally by Ed Beltrami, the
    chief crown prosecutor for North Wales.

    Well, if they'd stuck to nice safe off road cycle paths then they'd be
    alive today

    Since the car left the road, crossed the verge, hit the wall, bounced
    back across the verge and back across the road it would seem irrelevant
    whether they were riding on the road or on an imaginary cycle path on
    the verge. Although admittedly if there had been a cycle path, by the
    time they had picked their way through all its inadequacies they would
    probably be alive having arrived at the accident site half an hour after
    it happened.
