Yes, it could be that Jim Leyritz is just a victim of misfortune.
It could be the former World Series hero wasn’t actually responsible for the death last year of Fredia Ann Veitch, even though witnesses say he ran a red light before his car plowed into hers, and even though police say he was driving drunk.
It could be that, as he maintains, he doesn’t have a problem with alcohol, even though after the accident he refused a breathalyzer test and three hours later, when his blood was ordered drawn, still had an alcohol content over Florida’s legal limit.
It could be, as he seems to think, that he’s the victim here.
But he didn’t strengthen his case in May by checking into a psych ward after reportedly threatening suicide. Nor did he strengthen it Thursday when he allegedly dragged his ex-wife out of bed and pushed her to the floor because she wrote a check without his permission.
He was arrested on charges of domestic battery. In two months his DUI manslaughter trial is to begin.
It appears Leyritz has some serious demons to contend with — unless, as he seems to think, he’s just very, very unlucky.
