]]> A jury found Andrew Gallo guilty of three counts of second-degree murder, two felony counts of driving under the influence resulting in great bodily injury and a felony hit and run. After colliding with the victim’s car as he went more then 65 miles an hour, Gallo fled the scene on foot. His injured stepbrother was at the scene. The twenty-three year old will be sentenced on December 10th with a possible sentence of 51 years and eight months to life in prison. Relatives of the victims and Mr. Gallo were present to hear the verdict. District Attorney Tony Rackauckas told reporters that this sends a message regarding the consequences of driving under the influence and the severity of the issue. Gallo’s defense attorney released a statement expressing her disapproval of the verdict of second degree murder instead of what she explained was the more appropriate charges of vehicular manslaughter. See, Vehicle Code Sections 23153 (a) (b)

]]> Video surveillance was presented to the jury in the case of Andrew Gallo, who is on trial for three counts of second degree murder, various enhancements for inflicting great bodily harm and one misdemeanor related to driving under the influence. In the video surveillance of a Covina bar, Gallo and his step brother Raymond Rivera are seen drinking five beers, and four shots of rice-wine. According to the Orange County Register two of the beers were served in a glass that can hold three pints. Also the prosecution explained that the pair had stopped previously at two other locations where they had beers and shots as well. After Covina, they walked to another bar and had at least one beer and one shot. When officials took Gallo’s blood alcohol level, it was .22 almost three times the legal limit. The prosecution is pressing for murder charges because of Gallo’s previous DUI’s, arguing that he was well aware of the risk and potential dangers of drinking and driving. See, Vehicle Code Section 23153 (a) (b).
