BOSTON -- A Massachusetts lawmaker charged with leaving the scene of a car crash that left one person slightly injured said he plans to focus on personal issues in his life. State Sen. Anthony Galluccio spoke after a brief appearance on Friday in Medford District Court on charges connected to the Oct. 4 accident in Cambridge. A new court date has been set for Dec. 18."I will be taking time to confront a number of personal issues. As I have stated before, there is no excuse for my actions and I deeply regret them," Galluccio said in a statement. Galluccio declined comment on the case, though he previously said he made a "serious error in judgment" when he drove away after his SUV rear-ended another vehicle. About 13 hours prior to that accident, police gave the Cambridge Democrat a ride home because he was allegedly too drunk to drive. A handful of protesters stood outside the court on Friday, with signs urging no "special favors" or "free passes" for Galluccio.
