-Why is it assumed that the Whaler was the burdened/crossing vessel. I do not know the EXACT point of the accident but very close to that area the ICW takes a number of 90 degree turns and there are perpendicular exits to lesser channels. It may be plausible that the Whaler was following the ICW at that point and was hit by the IMP when it crossed the ICW? Would this still make the Whaler the burdened vessel?

- Last, but not least, Anthony was not alone in the IMP. One would have to believe that the passengers testimony is going to have a significant impact on the outcome of the trial
Anthony was the only one to come forward. Then girlfriend is now his wife who was on the boat with him.

Thumbs down

Wow, and Anthony reported it.......In reading through all the info it seems to me that there is an underlying agenda here.......is it how goatskin theorized? Maybe but I don't think it is entirely so. As posted, there was another boat in the area at the time of incident which ran aground.....could this be the culprit here......with the accused hitting debris from the wreckage? And, I imagine the expense the State is incurring is huge in this investigation.........Question, how does the this expense compare to other similar vehicular homicide investigations??And if this cost is abnormally higher than other incidents, questions concerning why would need to be examined.

Usually an entity who spends an unusually abnormal cost for something like this is attempting to protect something else....maybe itself visa v - the State of New Jersey.

Just my opinion.......

It comes down to are there matching marks on the hole in the whaler or not. Its not real hard to find out, I kinda agree with Tim on this no way there is enough damage. I believe the state knows it has a weak case otherwise why would it take this long to come to trial.

That boat had a 500 EFI I believe there is no way that could not have been heard at night.

Ok just found this picture, what if it was an almost head on and he never went over boat. What I don't like is the scruff in the blue bottom paint as there was blue marks on the starboard side of the IMP. Still think there should be more damage though.

Possibly starboard to starboard head on. Damn shame.

It would not take them very long to confirm the blue on one boat matching the blue on the whaler or not. That is easy for them to do. If the owner for the speedboat said it was from loading it on the trailer it would take no time for them to figure that out. This is not hard at all to figure out and I am sure they must have done this aready. It will all come out in the trial no doubt.

Agreed, simple test but don't understand why it took five years to get to trial. That tells me they don't have much.

Or they have a lot and they had to go through it all?

It takes time to make stuff up too ... like theories of laws that you'd like to have, v. laws that you have that are in writing.

That aside, there were a couple of Civil suits from the 3 non-family occupants of the whaler against the Post Estate and Mr DeGilio(?).

I'm sure the DA was in attendance at those daily ... in hopes to find something ... anything ... that might help his wet dream of, you know, a real case.

Tim, btw, Defense in opening statement stipulated that DeGilo(?) hit the Whaler (who turned into his unvarying, arrow-straight speed-responsible path). [/eyeroll]

I'm sure the DA wanted him to take a plea, so that he could be rid of this turd of a case, but DeGilio(?) was well advised, and I doubt the plea was any kind of sensible, take-able offer.

I realize that but preferred to be vague, not sure why but I didnt feel it was my place to state that.

Anyway, since you said it, is not a little disconcerting that the girlfriend, now wife, did not come forward, and in opposition to that, as it was related to me, refused to cooperate in the investigation?

I wil be curious, as she is now Anthonys wife, will she testify, or will they cite spousal privilege?

As to the other boat that ran aground that night, it ran aground south of the area of the Post/DiGilio accident, and was heading north. It could not have been involved. That is not to say that there could not have been another boat as per Tims theory, it just was not that particular one.
