As to the person who hit someone, the issue begins and ends with him hitting someone. That’s a separate issue from the other stated issues mentioned. The rider stated he entered the intersection on a yellow light, which all will agree is completely legal. The core detail is that accordingly he lost control of his vehicle and that’s what caused the problem.
If that was the case then the pedestrians crossing against a wait ought to be the issue and the bike rider was framed. Just saying.
From the perspective of people on bikes, many in motor vehicles and on foot ought to be jailed for their routine recklessness and outright arrogance or even contempt when near someone one a bike.

How is it unclear? If I am on the road in my car, on my motorcycle or in a bicycle, tricycle or even a scooter I follow the same rules. When the light is red, you stop. When the light is green, you go. When the light is red, you stop, look and turn if you have to, etc, etc. Motorcycle law allows them to go thru a red light after 45 seconds of wait time if the intersection is clear. That someone wants to see ambiguity is a different story.
According to the prosecutor, he ran 3 red lights. Entering the yellow light situation, you are responsible for being sure it is safe or you stop. Did he run a yellow? Not according to what I read.
Framed by whom?
Same as those in cars who have often seen the same conduct by bicyclists. Personally, both should be charged.
