Galluccio won't face drunk-driving charges

Blue Mass. Group has the scoop on a Boston clerk magistrate finding no probable cause to send Galluccio's case to a jury - along with comments from Ed Prisby, a Boston lawyer involved in that four-car accident with the Cambridge city councilor back in December. Prisby testified at the hearing today and is not happy:

...[W]hat I find astounding is that the clerk magistrate made actual FINDINGS OF FACT (reserved exclusively for a jury) when he ruled in Galluccio's favor, stating that he believed that Galluccio had consumed some alcohol that night, but not enough to impair him.

That is, quite frankly, unbelievable and completely inappropriate. Our system is designed to prevent one man from making a determination behind closed doors as to guilt or innocence. ...

So look for Galluccio to continue his bid for a state senate seat despite incumbent Jarrett Barrios running again.
