One of the police officials at Lake County near Sacramento mentioned that after the accident, the sheriff and other police individuals told him to avoid administering a breathalyzer test on the speedboat driver.  Because the test wasn’t given, we are unable to say whether or not the accident was the result of the carelessness of drinking and boating. There was witnesses that believe they saw the individual drinking only a few hours earlier at a resort, however their is simply no proof since their was negligence on behalf of the police department. It turns out that the boat driver was a Chief Deputy for the police department and that is potentially the reason for a lack of alcohol testing on this speed boat driver.

The man was off duty at the time of the accident, unfortunately the injured man and his lawyers felt that his standing with the local government would give him an edge in the case, no matter his guiltiness. The injured fought to have the Lake County District Attorney replaced with the California Attorney General’s Office instead, since this claim could be viewed with biased eyes in light of the man’s standing with the police department. Unfortunately that motion was denied by one judge, the man and his lawyers are going to proceed in the trial against the chief deputy who negligently used his speed boat and killed the woman in the accident. They are confident with the available evidence, that they have a good case and can win their case.
