Charged with DUI and manslaughter, Jim Leyritz lawyers up

Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Former New York Yankees catcher Jim Leyritz stayed silent as he left a meeting with criminal defense attorney David Bogenschutz Thursday night.

Bogenschutz has represented some big names in high-profile cases including former Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne.

Bogenschutz said he was only retained a day before, and will be giving more insight into his plans to defend the DUI and manslaughter charges against Jim Leyritz. Police say Leyritz was drunk when he crashed into Fredia Veitch's SUV in Fort Lauderdale. The wife and mother of two from Plantation was killed.

Bogenshutz said, "The only thing I can say on behalf of Jim is his condolences have already been indicated in the press, at a time when I did not represent him, to the family. I don't think his sentiments have changed one iota." More >>
