PRESCOTT -- The Yavapai County Attorney's Office has decided against charging motorist Nelson Shaum in the death of Lynn Hartline, the 48-year-old Gilbert bicyclist who was an entrant in the MS Ride the Vortex bicycle run in the Verde Valley May 17.Yavapai County Chief Deputy Attorney Dennis McGrane said the office is declining prosecution. While this is a tragic event, McGrane said, "It all boils down to the inability to prove this is more than an accident" and to prove the defendant had the necessary criminal state of mind.
