Civic Leader Sentenced to 10+ Years for Killing Biker
Civic Leader Sentenced to 10+ Years for Killing Biker
Tavares, FL, September 30, 2011 – After changing his plea to “guilty” back on September 19th, former Public Defender Bruce Duncan was sentenced today to ten years and four months in a state prison, three years probation, a lifetime loss of his Drivers License, as well as a $5,000 fine. This sentence was received after Duncan got drunk and drove his truck into Herbert “Steve” Muller on October 17, 2009, killing Steve.
Duncan’s attorneys asked the court for a sentence of four years, the state’s minimum sentence according to the guidelines. The prison sentence Duncan received was the recommendation by the guidelines. “The fact that the Judge did not depart from Florida’s Sentencing Guidelines is a breath of fresh air” ABATE of Florida, Inc. State President, James “Doc” Reichenbach II stated today. “The defense had lined up a list of community leaders attempting to say Duncan was a great guy, and many were worried that Duncan wasn’t going to receive the punishment he deserved”.
Members from at least six ABATE of Florida chapters and other motorcyclists were present during many of the hearings, showing support for Steve Muller’s family and letting the public know that motorcyclists’ lives are worth more than a simple fine.

Patriot Guard Escort
We meet up with the Patriot Guard tonight at 9:30pm to meet and escort a bus of WWII veterans back home to Washington Missouri. In all, about 32 riders gathered at the Bank of Washington tonight and rode to Pacific Missouri to meet the bus and lead them back to the bus station in Washington. It was so good to see so many on such a short notice pay their respect to those men and women who served their country so many years ago.
