BOSTON (AP) - A Massachusetts lawmaker charged with leaving the
scene of a car crash that left one person slightly injured says 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.

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.
