The DUI manslaughter trial of former major league baseball player Jim Leyritz is temporarily on hold because of legal wrangling over key pieces of evidence. Jury selection had been scheduled to begin Monday. But Leyritz attorney David Bogenschutz said the trial would be delayed while he seeks appeals a judge's decisions on the evidence at the 4th District Court of Appeal. Leyritz, who played for the New York Yankees and other teams over 11 seasons, is accused of driving drunk in December 2007 when he ran a red light and crashed into a vehicle driven by 30-year-old Fredia Ann Veitch, who was killed. Leyritz has pleaded not guilty. Leyritz's attorneys want to use evidence in the trial that Veitch's blood-alcohol content was also above the legal limit, that she had been receiving cell phone text messages around the time of the crash and that she was not wearing a seat belt. But Broward County Circuit Judge Marc Gold ruled Thursday that none of that evidence is admissible. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5584124
