Lol, America has a long proud history of punishing a lot of people with much less probable causes than 'the drunk DUI having car owner in his own car confirmed/confessed drunk at the time the car hit the cyclist was probably driving the car'.

Edit: Oh - you were prob replying for the case they would all share the punishment, my bad - I was trying to say that there is a probable cause one of them drove & that the system should have chosen (the most probable) one. It 100% would if it was a high-profile case.
