Beyond the Limit
Jim Leyritz was way over the legal blood alcohol limit for driving in Florida:
The former catcher who retired eight years ago balked at breath and blood tests for alcohol tests even after learning that 30-year-old Fredia Ann Veitch died in the Dec. 28 wreck.
Fort Lauderdale cops said Wednesday a blood test taken nearly three hours after the 3:20 a.m. collision registered a .14 alcohol level. The legal limit in Florida is .08.
The amount of alcohol in blood reaches its highest level about an hour after drinking.
A second blood test taken at 7:12 a.m., nearly four hours after the crash showed a .13 level.
It looks like Jim is going to lose his freedom for a long time.

Good - the person he killed lost theirs forever.
I can't help but wonder what his BAC would have been at the time of the accident. Another hour and he may have been below the legal limit, and that would have been a shame.
