A Cambridge city councilor who caused a multiple car crash in December will not face charges, despite reports from witnesses who said he was drunk.
NewsCenter 5's Janet Wu reported that a clerk magistrate ruled Friday that Boston police did not follow proper procedure at the crash scene, and no charges will be filed.
Galluccio arrived with his two high-powered, politically-connected attorneys leading the way. Cameras and most reporters were barred from the hearing, but Clerk Magistrate Daniel Hogan confirmed that on Dec. 18, following a five-car crash, which Galluccio admits he caused, the Cambridge city councilor was so belligerent that he had to be restrained.
But Hogan dismissed the Boston Police Department's complaint, because officers failed to charge Galluccio the night of the accident, and no one was seriously injured.
"Absolute outrage. This is a guy who couldn't walk, couldn't talk. In my observation he was absolutely drunk," accident victim Peter Manderino said.

Great. So just like that Montana congressman, the world will have to wait until he actually kills someone (and ruins his precious career) before he is taken off the road.
As always: One law for the puny, one law for the powerful.
Did anybody drown?
Some animals are more equal than others.
I thought this was another Kennedy!
LOL
One would have thought one would have drown to have received the kennedy treatment, but it would seem Massachusetts rewards other powerful reckless politicians as well....well, as long as that politician has a (d) after their name.
Kennedy wannabee.
A second EMT, who was not asked to testify, agreed with Alfieri. A third victim testified he could not smell alcohol on Galluccio's breathe that night because he was standing 10 feet away.
well said; MA politics IS an Animal Farm
Taxachusetts has a long history of this sort of crap. They sure didn't stop 'ole fat Teddy, now did they?
Politician (Massachusetts Democrat) is redundant.
I sent Mr. Galluccio a congratulatory e-mail for proving that corrupt Democrats can get away with anything.
WHEN YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT, IT'S DIFFERENT!
Massachusetts = Good Ole Boys Club
Is this suppose to be a new thing for Massachusetts? They have been protecting criminal politicians (Democrats) for decades... Just ask Teddy...
Was this just a practice run for the senate?
