More trouble for Jim Leyritz

From The Associated Press:

DAVIE, Fla. -- Former major leaguer Jim Leyritz was arrested Thursday in South Florida on charges of domestic battery against his ex-wife, just two months before his trial on a DUI manslaughter charge was set to begin.

Leyritz, 45, was arrested at his home in Davie, a Fort Lauderdale suburb, a police report said. He was being held in the Broward County Jail.

What a scumbag.

Thanks for the HRs off Belcher and especially Wohlers, now get your ass to jail and never come back.

Another case of a rush to judgement

People never learn.
I read that the police say the ex-wife has already changed her story.
and
His DUI hasn’t even gone to trial yet and there are reports that the woman that tragically died was also allegedly drunk.
What if he’s found not guilty?
Slander is a crime too.
