Killington, Vermont - March 17, 2010

In 2008, Melvin Neisner slammed on his brakes to stop a tailgating motorcycle. The biker crashed and was seriously injured. Neisner fled the scene.
He said his wife was driving but later admitted he was behind the wheel. Neisner was sentenced to three months in prison. The state Supreme Court approved his one year suspension followed by a one year probationary period, during which he can't practice law.
