Robert Paul Schiro arrested for cyclist hit and run
Do you remember Ashley Jackson? She was the cyclist who was run over in the bike lane and left with serious head injuries on the side of the road. The driver of a silver BMW fled the scene. Ashley has nerve damage that keeps her from riding a bicycle on her own.
The Santa Clara Sheriff got their man two weeks ago and arrested Robert Paul Schiro and charged him with felony hit and run, one year to the month after Schiro’s alleged crime. Schiro was arrested at his property management office in Santa Clara.
Schiro was apparently a suspect fairly early on and his silver BMW impounded, but friends and acquaintances of Schiro failed to implicate him when Sheriff deputies interviewed them.
Schiro’s arraigment was Thursday morning. Jackson is also pursuing civil litigation against Schiro.

I received the following comment from “Ashleigh”:
this man plead guilty to a one year plea deal, however, the judge
took the deal off the table and said this is a 2-4 year prison term so
the man, robert schiro, took away his plea and is now trying all he
can do to stay out of prison, he is now saying he’s unable to stand
trial because he is mentally insane (so not true) this is a story
worth following. this man had a previous DUI, if we want the roads to
be safe we are going to have to keep this case in the publics eye and
make an example of him.
Bob has always been insecure and evidenced by his brovado and arrogant demeanor.
I was married to his ex-wife and helped raise his son for seven years back in the 70′s.
After my divorce from his ex-wife she gave the son back to Bob. I often wonder how that boy turned-out being burdened with such a parent.
