All's well that ends well. At least for Michael Berry, since there will be no charges. Apparently, he did admit to being in the bar, but his defense was that he didn't know he hit the car, and according to his lawyer, if you don't know you hit the car and ran, its not hit and run.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you. A right-wing talk show host hurrying away from a gay bar, hits a car in the process, and didn't know he hit the car? Shocking...

I know it's sad and kind of gross but it's also terribly funny to see how desperate some folks are to maintain that hetero image.

I'm going to have to remember this clever "I didn't know I hit that car" defense.

Sounds like there wasn't much of a case against him based on this quote.

"the source" strikes again!

He is a dastardly villain!

I'd have given the "source said paint chip didn't match" argument a bit more credence if the lawyer didn't continue with the weasel out:

Quote:
The defense attorney added that prosecutors would have to prove Berry knew he had hit a car and then drove off.

"One of the elements of failure to stop and give information, which everybody calls hit and run, is that you know you've been in an accident and you intentionally run off. And that's not what happened," DeGuerin said.
Again, I wonder how many people can leave a bar and say "Offisher, I dindnt know I hit the carsh..." and get away with it?
