Jim Leyritz busted in fatal DUI

Yankees hero Jim Leyritz blew a red light and killed a young mother in a car wreck while stinking drunk on birthday booze, Florida police said Friday.

 

The retired major leaguer balked at breath and blood tests for alcohol - even after being told that the other driver, 30-year-old Fredia Ann Veitch, was dead, Fort Lauderdale cops said.

 

Veitch, who has a 13-year-old and a 5-year-old, was returning to her Plantation, Fla., home after working a late shift as a bartender at a steakhouse.

Wow this really doesn't look good for him. It seems like he is going to prison. Shame.

[Pablo M 201 35]

Wow. Very Shameful.

That is just plain bad, shameful indeed. My heart goes to the children of the victim.

What a shameful act. If he does end up being carried off to jail, he deserves every last minute of his sentence.

 

My sympathies are with the victim's children.
