His defence will actually be the opposite. That his BAC actually increased as time wore on, meaning he was sober at the time of the incident.

Who knows what happened right away but he sure knew how to cover his a$$ as much as he could.

Just another thought...whats the water temperature in the Boston area now....looks like air temp is in the upper 40's low 50's today. Not normally the kind of weather your in your bathing suit and in a hurry to go diving in!

This guy made so many mistakes he could easily get a job as a WP officer at LOTO.

I hear the civil suit is ramping up on that.

More detail in this Article...its still weird...he tried to anchor(are we to assume the attempt was unsuccessful)? Oh well, this guy should never have been out so its his fault. But this girl cant be the brightest either, just saying. Again, either way its a $hitty situation for all involved and its sad to hear about.

Just think if it had been one of those "Cigar go-fast boats"!

She may not have perceived the danger, if not around boating much. I wonder if boat cushion means fender.
