Alibi

While celebrating my sister's return home from Iraq at the bar, we glanced up at the 17 televisions on the wall. Over half of the televisions had a male pictured. I asked who the guy was and what the big fuss was about. Well, it is a pretty big fuss. I soon found out that a professional baseball player was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver.

So today I didn't have to search too hard to find out more details on the story. Apparently, the baseball player was the pitcher for the Los Angelos Angels Nick Adenhart. Not only did the drunk driver kill him, but also two others while going 30 miles over the speed limit.

The driver was going 65 in a 35 in a mini van when he ran the red light and hit Adenhart's vehicle. The driver was not only three times over the legal limit but driving on a suspended license from a previous drunk driving charge.

If the driver is convicted on alll three murder charges he is looking at life in prison.

It's pretty crazy what you learn at the bar.
