Eight months after he got hit by Channel 7 anchorman Rick Sanchez's Volvo, Jeffrey Smuzinick is doing poorly. His family is just plain doing poor.
-snip-
The driver of the car, WSVN-TV Channel 7 anchorman Rick Sanchez, became the subject of a subsequent January 16 New Times story that described the odd circumstances of the accident. Sanchez, whom a Metro-Dade police officer said "smelled strongly of alcohol," first stopped his car but then later left the scene. A blood test to determine Sanchez's sobriety was not administered until an hour and fifteen minutes after the collision. Though Sanchez says he tried to aid Smuzinick at the scene of the accident and flag down motorists, eyewitnesses claim the anchorman ignored the injured man and loudly told police and bystanders that blood tests were pointless, and would hurt his public image.

Why isn’t this cold blooded killer in prison where he belongs
Typical left wing pandered-to hypocrite
More to the point, why hasn’t he been sued for every cent he has to rehab this poor man?
Smuzinick died from his injuries...
Closing chapter for victim: The Miami Herald, Nov. 2, 1995
“Jeffrey Smuzinick, who was left paralyzed after being struck by the car of Channel 7 anchor Rick Sanchez, died Monday in a Pennsylvania nursing home. He was 36. Smuzinick was injured Dec. 10, 1990, after he ran out into traffic following a Dolphins football game. He was struck by a 1991 Volvo driven by Sanchez. Smuzinick suffered severe head injuries and was in a coma for many months. He underwent rehabilitation in Florida …”
WTF? Wrongful death? I don’t know a lawyer that wouldn’t take the case. This is the same jerk that lectures the Tea Party attendees.
As long as we are headed down memory lane, Rick Sanchez rose to fame on Fox’s WSVN 7 New station with a nightly segment call “Blood on the Streets”.
If those two facts don’t overload your irony meter, consider this the Guy that replaced Sanchez in the “Blood on the Streets” segment was none other than Shepard Smith, who at the time was Sanchez’s understudy.
Didn’t Shepard Smith try to run over someone with his car? I don’t think he took a man’s life like Sanchez did, however.
Sanchez. Cafferty. Sheesh. Is hit-and-running a job requirement at CNN or something?
I’m pretty sure that he threw a hissy fit over a parking place.
Shepard Smith mugshot...
Fox News Channel anchor Shepard Smith was arrested by Florida police in November 2000 and charged with aggravated battery with a motor vehicle after arguing with another reporter over a parking space (while both were covering the Bush-Gore Florida vote debacle).
I never heard of that. Smith is a complete tool.
I understand that DUI and hit and run are the basic job requirements for CNN. I would expect that they gave Sanchez a big signing bonus once Sanchez told his employers that he killed a guy, too.
He should be in prison.
thanks for the flashback
Hey, many of us Americans of Cuban descent also think Rick Sanchez is a jackass. For example, go to this popular Cuban-American blog posting: http://babalublog.com/2009/07/this-just-in-6/
Rich Sanchez is a DOUCHEBAG and leftist puppet.
I recall him interviewing Joe The Plumber on CNN.
He kept hurling accusations at Joe, such as:
“You’re not REALLY a plumber, ARE YOU? You don’t even have a license!”
“And your name isn’t even Joe, IS IT?! You name is Samuel!”
Joe replies: “My MIDDLE name is JOSEPH.”
What the hell. After that little commie hitjob, I realized everything my friend from Coral Gables says about their local clown, Rick Sanchez, is true.
He tells me back when Sanchez was on the air in Miami, if a toaster shorted out at the local PTA meeting, they sent Rick Sanchez to cover the story.
That’s irony. Two jackasses, but known libs and both reckless jerks behind the wheel.
Yeah, Sanchez is one of those drunks that doesn’t even need the chemical to behave in a drunken fashion. He’s always yelling in his anchor chair. blowhard
Thanks for the link Looks like Ole Rick is not loved by his people either.
