Fossella Pleads Guilty


Former New York Congressman Vito Fossella has pled guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol in Virginia. Fossella’s lawyer says that he decided on the plea today because he was moved by the death of Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart. Adenhart was killed in a car crash caused by a suspected drunk driver.

Fossella is expected to begin his sentence next weekend. He decided not to seek re-election after his arrest and revelation that he had fathered a child during an affair. Despite the controversy surrounding Fossella he still plays a prominent role in New York City civic and political events.
