In the majority of countries in the world prosecutors can retry people on the same charges over and over.
We’re fairly unique in that we don’t allow for this kind of thing.
What a moron. When you’re in a foreign country, especially one like Cuba, you pay a local to drive the boat. And the car, bus, rickshaw, whatever.
Poor guy didn’t pay off the right people.
Canadians love Cuba because their dollar goes so far,
because labor is so cheap,
because Cuband are dirt-ass poor.
Canadians call it “a successful socialist country,”
“such delightful people... Great people...”
“The service is wonderful...”
Canadians - self-righteous, opportunistic -
delight in the condition of the rats groveling for a dollar at their feet,
whilst praising “progressive” Cuba.
“He and his lawyer have alleged that he was given very little direction on how to operate the boat.”
If you don’t know how to drive the boat, don’t drive the boat.
Someone might get killed due to your negligence.

Canadian? By birth? Naturalized? Illegal?
Drunk Canadian killed woman with his boat? I’ll wait around for a better political prisoner to support. What’s the argument? That he should be released to go home?
A North African in Cuba? They can keep him.
Based on the article, a “Canadian” with an awfully religion of pieces name, murdered a Canadian woman due to HIS criminal negligence [blaming someone else for not teaching you to drive a small boat isn’t a defense, it’s a confession]. The victim is dead. He has been inconvenienced and rent an apartment. Boo hoo. The jerk is suing the travel agency for $340,000 for letting him kill someone. But I’m surprised the Cubans haven’t let him go altogether — lest tourist loons stay away.
There’s something disgusting about people who go to a third world Hell Hole to gawk at those being crushed under the foot of a totalitarian. There’s something even more disgusting when that person has fled a situation where the ayatollahs were doing the same to them.
Cuba = Come U Be Arrested
Go to 3rd world countries and you’re just asking for trouble
