John Goodman<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Car bomb.\u00a0That’s the name of a drink.<\/p>\n

I found that out the other day while reading an article about the trial of one of our wealthy citizens here in the Village of Wellington, Florida. John Goodman is a polo mogul who is on trial in a DUI (driving under the influence) manslaughter case in which he rammed his Bentley into a Hyundai Sonata driven by 23-year-old engineering grad Scott Wilson. The $200,000 Bentley weighed 2,000 pounds more than the Hyundai and nearly cut through it. Wilson’s mangled car flipped over and landed in a canal, where he drowned.<\/p>\n

Whenever we go out for a cafe con leche at the local Cuban bakery, we pass by the intersection where the accident occurred and are reminded of it by an extensive flower memorial that has graced the site since Feb. 12, 2010.<\/p>\n

Goodman suffered a broken wrist and a fractured sternum. He walked away from the accident and, amazingly, according to his defense, started drinking at a friend’s barn<\/a> in order to deal with the pain. Others, however, say he was drinking at a party and later at the Player’s Club, a polo hangout around the corner from us. According to one tally, he consumed 16-18 drinks, plus he had taken pain medication that served as an additive to the alcohol. \u00a0Three hours after the accident, when his blood was tested, it contained twice the legal limit of alcohol.<\/p>\n

Since Goodman is a multi-millionaire, he was able to hire Roy Black, one of the top defense lawyers. Black is putting forward the idea that Goodman started drinking after the accident, which Black says was the result of a computer failure in the Bentley.<\/p>\n

However, a bartender at the Player’s Club recalls making drinks for Goodman. And a friend of Goodman recalls ordering \u00a0the polo mogul a nightcap with a twist. He gave Goodman a car bomb – a blast of a drink consisting of Bailey’s Irish Cream and \u00a0a shot of whiskey dropped into a glass of Guinness. Chug and be on your way. In Goodman’s case, he headed into infamy and a trial in which he faces up to 30 years in prison.<\/p>\n

If ever there was a warning label on a container of alcohol, it was the name of the that drink handed to Goodman. You can almost hear the dark Trickster <\/a>chuckling in the background, watching to see if the man who made Wellington into the winter polo capital of the world would play the fool and slide behind the wheel of his car bomb.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the prosecution rested its case. Next week, the defense will present several witnesses. Then it goes to the jury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
