Teenage Blackout Murder: Dr. Buzz

Dr. J. Buzz Von Ornsteiner aka Dr. Buzz and TruTV In Session television host Jami Floyd discuss the following murder trial where a teenager murders his best friends father during an alcoholic blackout. Andrew Michael Galek (dob: 9/25/90), was found guilty of Murder in the Second Degree. Galek, was charged as an adult with first degree murder in connection with the stabbing death of a man that occurred in Westminster, Colorado.

On July 13, 2008, at approximately 1:30 AM police responded to a home in Westminster, CO and discovered a disabled man had been stabbed in his sleep in the abdomen. Galek was apprehended approximately 15 minutes later, 4 blocks west of the victims residence hiding under a parked pickup truck. The victim, Hans Joachim Botho Winter (dob 12/24/44), was the father of Galeks long time friend. District Attorney, Don Quick states, The victim and his wife had treated Galek like family for a number of years, and there is no evidence or allegation that Mr. and Mrs. Winter ever mistreated Galek in any way.

Galek was spending the night at his friends house and both had been drinking alcohol. The victim was sleeping in his bed when Galek stabbed him to death. Although evidence was presented that Galek and the victims son had been drinking, the jury found that Galek had the mental capacity to knowingly stab his friends father and then run from the house and hide down the street behind a car.

Galek was sentenced on September 18, 2009 at 1:30 PM by Judge Mark Warner in Division G. The sentencing range for Murder in the Second Degree is 16 to 48 years.
