Jim Leyritz has denied responsibility in a DUI accident that caused the death of a Fort Lauderdale woman two days prior to Christmas. An interesting aspect of the case is that Leyritz had a reported blood alcohol limit of .14 while the victim is report to have had a .18 blood alcohol limit. Leyrtiz is blaming the victim.
As any Massachusetts OUI lawyer would advise their client in a DUI involving an accident or in any criminal case, a defendant charged with a crime should never discuss the facts of the case. Any statements can be used against the defendant. Additionally, in Leyritz's case, his statements are likely to haunt him should be be convicted at the time of sentencing.
