"People think my son is a monster, He is not" - Thomas Gallo, Father of drunk driver Andrew Gallo, who hit and killed Anaheim Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart.

While Andrew may not be a monster in your eyes, because as parents we want to think the best of our children, he is a monster in the eyes of America. Why? He made the deadly choice to drink so much that he not only hit and killed people in another vehicle, but he made the conscious choice to leave the scene of the accident knowingly. He made the conscious choice to drink so much he was over three times the legal blood alcohol limit and consciously get behind the wheel of a car knowing his actions were illegal.
This was not his first DUI, luckily for him the first time no one was killed. He had no license because he made the choice to get behind the wheel of a car after drinking before and got caught.
So essentially he got behind the wheel of a car he had no business driving because he had no license and he killed 3 people and seriously injured a 4th.
If that is not a monster, I don't know what Mr. Thomas Gallo considers a monster.

The possible 55 years in prison would not nearly be enough punishment for his actions.
