About five people tried to stop CNN morning anchor Jack Cafferty after he hit a bicyclist, but the newsman allegedly went through at least two red lights while dragging the bike underneath his Cadillac. Cafferty was allowed to plead guilty to one minor traffic violation. “I think he got off pretty easy,” says the victim’s lawyer.
