((HT: KTLA-TV))A grand jury indicted the man accused of killing Nick Adenhart and two others in a car accident while allegedly under the influence of alcohol last month.
Andrew Gallo, 22, of San Gabriel, was indicted Wednesday on three counts of murder and three other felonies stemming from the April 9 crash.
The charges are the same as those filed by the District Attorney two days after the accident, but prosecutors say the indictment will speed up the case by skipping the preliminary hearing.
Gallo had nearly three times the legal blood-alcohol level when he ran a red light in his minivan and smashed into the car carrying the Los Angeles Angels pitcher and three friends, according to police. Courtney Stewart, 20, was killed, along with Adenhart and Henry Pearson, a 25-year-old Manhattan Beach law student.Another passenger, Jon Wilhite, 24, of Manhattan Beach, was critically injured.
The deadly accident happened just hours after Adenhart made his season debut for the Angels, pitching six scoreless innings.Gallo is being held at the Orange County Jail on $2-million bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in court June 8.
He faces 54 years and eight months to life in prison if convicted on all counts.
