Jim Leyritz Arrested for Beating His Ex-Wife
Jim Leyritz is making a name for himself in life after baseball, and not in a good way. With charges still pending on a 2007 incident in which he killed a woman while driving drunk, the former Yankee World Series hero has been arrested and charged with beating his ex-wife Karrie. Details from the New York Daily News:
Leyritz went ballistic and dragged Karrie Leyritz out of bed and socked her twice because she’d written a check without his permission, police said.
She fled to a neighbor’s house and called the cops, who found her bleeding from a cut above one eye – and streaks of blood on the walls of the couple’s home in Davie, Fla.
Leyritz, 45, is expected to be arraigned later in the day.
It wasn’t immediately clear where Leyritz was when cops arrived, but when he was arrested later he claimed his ex was drunk and hurt herself to frame him.
It’s sad to say this about anyone, but, clearly Jim Leyritz needs to be locked up. He is a menace to everyone in the world, including himself, and requires some quiet time alone to ponder where he is in his life. Making license plates can be very relaxing.
nobody knows what goes on in a mans life to ask why he’s at this point. no you don’t drive drunk, because yes you can kill someone……..he did. know you don’t beat up your wife or ex-wife. but really what did she do in this marriage? was she the reason he started drinking in the first place to get to this point. many of a woman has made a good man better. but many, too many, of a woman has brought a man to his knees in tearing him to shreads. what’s the story here? we just see the surface and make allegations. we just don’t know the real story. it is sad though

However bad the ex-wife may have been and I admit to knowing nothing of the circumstances, it is never okay to beat up another person. Never, ever.
