Controversies[]
In November 2008, Finnerty was charged with homicide and operating under the influence after hitting and killing a pedestrian in Boston.[3] The homicide charges were ultimately dropped when Suffolk District Attorney dismissed the charge [4] when a collision analysis report showed there was no way any driver – impaired or sober – could have avoided striking the pedestrian when he stepped into the street, Finnerty pleaded guilty to OUI in November 2009.[5]
On May 10, 2021, Finnerty made national headlines when he confronted former Obama speechwriter David Litt for trying to insert Newsmax criticisms during an interview about Elon Musk and Saturday Night Live.[6]
