Driver Who Killed Angels' Nick Adenhart, Two Others Convicted of Murder

Filed under:

The man who killed Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others in a drunk-driving accident last year was found guilty of three counts of second-degree murder on Monday.

Andrew Thomas Gallo, who already had a drunk-driving conviction on his record, fled the accident scene in Fullerton, Calif., moments after the high-speed wreck on April 9, 2009. Gallo, 22, was also convicted of two felony counts of driving under the influence causing great bodily injury and one felony count of hit-and-run.

The Orange County District Attorney's office said in a statement that Gallo faces a maximum sentence of 50 years to life in prison. Sentencing has been scheduled for Dec. 10.

The minivan Gallo was driving ran a red light and slammed into a Mitsubishi Eclipse driven by Courtney Stewart, a former cheerleader at Cal State Fullerton. Stewart, Adenhart and Henry Pearson, a journalism student at Arizona State University, were killed in the accident.
