Andrew Gallo, 23, held white rosary beads and occasionally looked up at jurors as they returned convictions on three counts of second-degree murder and single counts of drunken driving, hit-and-run driving, and and driving under the influence of alcohol and causing great bodily injury.

Adenhart and two friends were killed in a car accident in the early morning hours of April 9, 2009, just hours after the 22-year-old Adenhart made his season debut, pitching six scoreless innings against Oakland.
