His brother’s boat did not have lights on and fled the scene.
Good luck with that.
However, if the wife was in the least bit intoxicated ...manslaughter.
She passed the intox test police said.
The initial report was the running lights were not on. People in the other boat say theirs WERE on and O’Leary’s boat had none.
“His brother’s boat did not have lights on and fled the scene.”
You don’t know that as fact.
Or was O’Leary driving, took off long enough for his wife to take the wheel, return to the scene and tell the cops that she was driving?
Chances are... They were all drinking. The attorneys will keep any of them from spending any time behind bars. They will probably assign a percentage of blame to each pilot, and the attorneys will divvy up the money from the insurance companies.
