Friends and family members of cyclist Bradley Dean were at provincial court in Richmond Wednesday in the hopes that so much as a hint of justice would be dealt to the man accused of killing him.

Dean and five other cyclists were struck by a car on River Road in Richmond in November 2016. To the dismay of Dean’s family, no criminal charges were laid in the case. Instead, Michael Wing Sing Fan faces one count of driving a motor vehicle without due care and attention.

Among those who came to court for Fan’s first appearance were Dean’s wife Adele and his five-month-old daughter Amaurie, a child he neither met nor knew he would have. Adele learned she was pregnant two days after Dean died.

“I just wish he could have met her,” Adele said through tears outside the courthouse. “I just wish she could have had him in her life.”

Before the appearance, Dean’s parents Lianne and Tom played with their granddaughter, who was bundled up in a pink hood and surrounded by stuffed animals.
