Diamond All-Star Pitcher Jeff Reardon "Saves" Himself.
Former Major League All-Star pitcher and "Saves" Leader Jeff Reardon will not serve jail time for robbing a Florida jewelry store in December.
On Monday, Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Stephen Rapp found Reardon not guilty by reason of insanity, the Sun-Sentinel reports. Reardon's attorneys used a voluntary intoxication defense, claiming the athlete was taking a dozen medications that impaired his judgment following the 2004 death of his son, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
Reardon had been charged with robbing Hamilton Jewelers in Palm Beach Gardens on Dec. 26, 2005, after handing an employee a threatening note. Officers later found him at a nearby eatery with a cash-filled bag but no weapon.
The newspaper reports that two court-appointed psychiatrists and two defense psychiatrists concluded that there was no reasonable explanation for Reardon's actions.
Reardon will return before Rapp in six months for a court-ordered review of the case.
