Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, also pleaded not guilty through his attorney to three other felony charges and one misdemeanor in the April 9 collision that occurred just hours after Adenhart pitched six scoreless innings in his season debut.
Gallo watched from inside a security enclosure as defense attorney Randall Longwith entered the pleas before an Orange County Superior Court judge. About 15 members of Gallo's family were in court.

Randall Longwith, a highly regarded California DUI lawyer who is representing the man accused of killing Nick Adenhart asked for a change of venue. Longwith, regarded as one of Southern California's premier DUI defense lawyers cited the negative publicity the case has received.

The killer.
Another benefit of open borders.
The guy oughta throw himself upon the mercy of the court. He’s gonna get incarcerated anyway.

Presenting the gory, deadly, cowardly FACTS of what happened does not in any way equate with “negative publicity.” Man, I hate cold-blooded lawyer-speak.
