Yeah, but "alcohol in system" does not mean "intoxicated". As long as you're decently under the limit, then it won't help him.
Also, "illegal substance" can be any of a good number of things. Hope this guy doesn't get any backing.

Not only that, he is the one that ran that red light while drunk.

Not trying to stick up for the guy in any way....
But
I consider myself a defensive driver.... I know what Im going to do... but have NO clue what anyone else is going to do. I know I have avoided a few accidents by noticing someone running a red light... blowing through a stop sign or anything that could injure or kill me. If she was under something maybe she could have avoided the accident by noticing that he wasnt going to stop.... again.. not trying to stick up for the guy who did the hit and run.... but I know I can control the way I drive.... so I have to be on the look out.

Maybe I'm ignorant to law, but the guy was still drunk, ran a red light and killed multiple people. Regardless of intoxication, the Adenhart car was in the correct place and completely following the law.

Yeah, but with that you have to take into account visibility and at what point in the intersection they were hit. Maybe you couldn't see the cross traffic until almost in the intersection... maybe his vehicle was obstructed by a vehicle in the turning lane? Maybe they were well into the intersection when he came through it?
I almost t-boned some lady a few weeks ago who ran a stop sign but stopped before I would've hit her. Regardless the guy still ran the red light (illegal), then ran from the crash (illegal) and now was found to be drunk (illegal). I understand what you are saying but he's still in the wrong.P_Manning 18 said:

Stranger things have happened. I t boned a lady and sent her into a pole after she ran a stop. I was found 25% wrong for speeding. No radar, wet skidmarks, and a postal worker that saw everything and said it was her fault.
I got my license in February and I have easily avoided multiple accidents because of being a defensive driver. It is definitely worth being a defensive driver than the one being in a hurry...
Anyway, it doesn't matter, the guy committed multiple infractions and killed multiple people. He should be locked up for life.

While Gallo is definitely at fault and I think he should get maximum sentence. With the way our court system is run, I think that the maximum sentence can now be thrown out the window.

Remember the OJ Simpson trial? Guy got off because he was a celebrity and the jury couldn't possibly find a celebrity guilty of murder...
Same thing applies here, although the other way around. Think about how tragic it was when you heard the news and how it was all over ESPN for days. No jury is going to back the guy who ran a red light drunk, killed a celebrity and his friends and then ran away. Guy made the ******* decision to drink and drive and he is going to pay for it.

A DUII isn't a limit that they go off of. If they police believe that your driving is influenced by an intoxicant, you are guilty, t here is no magic number. When I got my DUII, I blew .01 over the legal limit to keep my license, even if I would have blown .01 under the legal limit, I would still have a DUII on my record.
Now back to topic, I don't think that it will matter what she has/had in her system. The guy will be going to jail, probably not more than 7 years though. Most likely will plead out to one count of vehicular manslaughter (for Adenhart), and all the other stuff will be included in that.

Don't forget that Stewart was 20. The legal drinking age in CA is 21, Could that help Gallo's case at all?

I think that they may assign part of the fault to the deceased driver. There was one time I was driving home (had a couple of drinks over a lot of hours), and I was slow in going at the green light. Luckily, I was slow because a truck blew the red light going at least 55 mph in a 35 mph zone. Someone told me that if that truck had hit me, I would have gotten some of the fault just because I had alcohol in my system. Again, everyone, green doesn't mean you are always right. Green means that you can only go when safe. Be careful.
