听A Connecticut driver who killed a 14-year old male cyclist in 2007 is now suing the boy's parents for allowing their son to ride without a helmet, .
David Weaving was sentenced to 10 years in prison last year for manslaughter. He was reportedly passing another car at 83 mph in a 45 mph zone when he struck Matthew Kenney. Now Weaving is suing Kenney's parents for over $15,000 in damages for letting Kenney ride without a helmet, citing contributory negligence.
Matthew “was a loving kid,” Kenney's mom . “He was a caring kid. He was a helping kid. He was an honors student. He played sports. He was full of life. He had so much to give.”
