A cyclist should NEVER come in contact with pedestrians. Cyclist must reduce speeds to avoid collisions AND use every possible audible/voice alert possible to communicate safe passing. Many of us are able to "pedal" at a crawl pace or even balance standing still. If you can't do either, a cyclist should just walk their bike in an area congested with pedestrians. Even if the pedestrian had lived, this would have been reckless endangerment which is punishible by law and with possible civil penalties. Cyclists don't get a free pass in life. This guy should go to jail. He didn't assault the woman, b/c assault suggests intent to do harm; doubt that's what happend, but if it did he should definitely go to jail for a long time for murder.
