[Local] Conservative Talk Radio Host Michael Berry Involved in Hit & Run at Gay Bar

NewRoxFan · May 1, 2012

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.

The source who did not want to be identified said prosecutors have not been able to locate club bouncer Tuderia Bennett, who reported that a black Chevrolet Tahoe, registered to Berry, hit his car outside the TC's Show Bar, in the 2400 block of Converse. The source also said the paint samples taken by Houston police from the car that was hit did not match Berry's car.

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

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:

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?
