SANTA ANA, Calif. – A judge has found a man accused of killing rookie Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others guilty of driving on a suspended license, but a jury has gone home for the day without reaching verdicts on murder and other charges.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard Toohey found 23-year-old Andrew Gallo guilty of driving on a suspended license during a short bench trial Friday.
Gallo had previously asked to have that count separated from the other six counts and waived his right to a jury trial on that charge.
Gallo has pleaded not guilty to three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of 22-year-old Adenhart, 20-year-old Courtney Stewart and 25-year-old Henry Pearson.
