Pfft.  It's not like he killed anyone.  He only allegedly killed someone.  One year probation, $500 in fines, and a cushy gig on the radio.  Sounds like a fair tradeoff for the life of a mother.

If you read the article, the jury (I know, I know) determined it was the other driver - who was also drunk - that ran the stop sign and caused the accident that killed her.  For once, a drunk hit a drunk.

Check out his Wikipedia page. This guy has had a lot of issues.

Strange hire considering the tragic events of a few years ago. I find it hard to believe there weren't other suitable candidates without the baggage.

[Angel Oracle]

A spit in the face of Nick Adenhart's memory

A mother who was also drunk driving and could easily have killed someone herself.

What does anti-freeze have to do with any of this?

[m0nkey]

I don't know what you're talking about

[Hollyw00d]

just leave freesy alone, he's busy workin on some things

[Chuck]

We all have issues of some sort and have gotten away with the same or worse.

I have no problem with this.

Move on! Just as he has with his life for the betterment of all.

Two wrongs make a not guilty.

Jurors decided Leyritz did not run a red light and cause the crash. Evidence showed that Veitch, a bartender who was also driving drunk before the crash and was not wearing a seat belt, likely ran the light.

 

 

that's why he wasn't found guilty of manslaughter. he was then punished as a dui offender. it has absolutely nothing to do with nick adenhart and his memory.

burp.

[disarcina]

I don't like this........isn't there anyone else?

 

gotta be.

 

David Eckstein?

 

Chuck Finley?

 

Garrett Anderson?

[Taylor]

Scott Spiezio?

 

Oh wait.

drunk bartender runs a red light without a seatbelt and we are supposed to be up in arms about him on a radio show?

society.

Well anti-freeze is made with alcohol.

[Brent Maguire]

Very random guy to bring aboard

Yeah, it has nothing to do with his drunk driving.

Anti-freeze can kill you. Just like David Freese drunk behind the wheel can.

[Quinlanforthewin]

I'm more upset about him and Jason Brennan getting their own show from 1-3.  830 sports talk is a disaster outside Van Pelt.  Travis Rodgers, now this clown who played mostly in New York, and Rodger Lodge.  Embarrassing.  

[Season Over]

I'm super pissed. The integrity of the 1-3 PM block on AM 830 will just never be the same.

[nate]

Are there pro DUI people?

I'm not the most PC guy in the world, I hate that society is going all Pollyanna on us... but, I'm not sure pretending it's cool or just another "oopsie" is the right answer.  People who have lost someone to a drunk driver have every right to be put off by a hire like this.  I'm not sure Angels fans who felt the pain of what happened will be cool with it either.  Telling people to "move on" seems a bit cavalier... almost everyone has an issue they draw the line at or feel at their core.  Agree or disagree, people need to respect their right to hold that line.  

 

It's an odd choice given the Adenhart tragedy.
