A driver charged with criminally negligent homicide was acquitted yesterday in the death of a bicyclist in Brooklyn last year, after a surveillance video helped convince the jury of his innocence.
Michael Oxley slammed into John McDonaugh, 18, at Flatbush Avenue and Beverly Road in April 2010.
A video from outside a restaurant seemed to sway the jurors that Oxley had the light, said defense attorney Gary Farrell.
But the Brooklyn Supreme Court jury convicted him of speeding and driving with a suspended license.
Justice Raymond Guzman sentenced Oxley to 10 days in jail.
