Jim Leyritz drives drunk, kills woman (allegedly)

on CNN, saying it was an ex-Yankee, but I didn't click on it.  Man that sucks, feel so bad for that lady her and her family.  I'm not sure how you live with yourself after driving drunk and killing somebody.

i already had plenty of reasons to dislike leyritz but this moves him permanently to the Waste of Skin list for me. What a jackass. Condolences and prayers to the family and friends of his victim.

As somebody who got a DUI, that might sound odd, but I do. I was fortunate not to kill or hurt anyone, but that doesn't make it any less reprehensible. I had thirty days to think about it and at first I tried to rationalize it by trying to tell myself that it wasn't my fault because he gave me my keys back and I didn't even know I was driving, blah, blah, blah but that didn't hold water because at the core I knew that I was the one who put myself in that situation in the first place...

A lot of people say that they feel sorry for the criminals that "made a mistake" and "have to live with it". Aw, poor them. That's the nature of consequences, natural and imposed; when people pity them, they're forgetting that they made the bed they're lying in. At least Leyritz is alive to feel like shit. That woman can't feel like shit even if she wanted to. No sympathy from me.

the guys with a perfectly smooth dome and a George Michaels shadow. In a hurry, Jim? ...From what I've heard about actual prison, I also find irony in the fact that the King and his swingin' wife won't have a say as to the extramarital affairs that will be happening inside of him.

i was lucky in two ways: I didn't hurt anyone, and I got a chance to realize what a douche move it was (as Dex pointed out). I swear had i not been busted, i'd have ended up hurting someone, or worse.
Having given up a year of my licensed driving and thousands in fines, lawyers fees, and increased insurance, as well as having to call my mom to pick me up from jail (most humiliating moment of my life), I still consider myself lucky that I got to realize what a jackass thing to do that is. It ended up changing everything about how I drive, and live. I still drink, but I keep it at home, and don't drive.
It's a simple rule but for some reason it's hard to get into people's heads. Stay safe over New Year's everyone...there's going to be a lot of assholes drunk on the road. keep your head on a swivel.
