Andrew Gallo, the alleged driver responsible for killing Nick Adenhart and two of Adenhart’s friends, was indicted by a grand jury on six felonies. Three of those felony counts were for murder.
Adenhart was the young pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels who lost his life in an automobile accident on April 9th. Gallo, who later was found to have a blood-alcohol level of almost three times the California legal limit, was immediately arrested. With a long history of driving under the influence of alcohol, most legal experts expect that Gallo will have the book thrown at him.
Prior to his death, Adenhart had just made his season debut for the Angeles. A pitcher who had battled back from injuries, Adenhart threw six innings in which he didn’t allow a run.
Adenhart was only 22 years old when he died.

i understand and am sorry for the people who died but andrew gallo is my cousin and he is a good guy who made a mistake. he was very close to my dad who just passed in january. my dad was like an older brother to andrew. andrew took this very hard and i saw anger all over his face he was quiet about the situation but he hid his feelings. look at this story from both sides nick and his friends were also drinking
The famlies grief I am sure is unbelievable.I believe this is true for both sides. However, for you to try to pin one ounce of guilt on the side of the victims is totally wrong. Mr. Gallo has a history of substance abuse. Mr. Gallo tried to flee this very accident. The victims were not intoxicated and did not break a traffic low. Please don’t do that to them. They were innocent. Andrew may not be a monster but he is 100% to blame.
