Why do I feel like there’s so much more to this story..
Are you an actual skinhead??
There’s not. It’s plain and simple. There was an irresponsible boat owner on the water at night that did not take the proper precautions to make themselves seen.
@Spiciest ! No. Stop watching Hollywood movies.
Yes there is. The boat was a gift from Trump who had an affair with Kevin’s wife. Don’t why that did not come up in the trial.
@Pat Alberta Wow bud. Take off the tinfoil hat.
Of course not, the rich get away with it again!
They didn’t have there lights on …the other ppl . That’s there fault and yes she was drinking but she was under the limit so
So
The rich will always win in criminal court, when their net worth is automatically considered, overwhelming evidence of their innocence.
I do not understand your statement. It should not matter a person’s financial situation and in this case I see no evidence that it did matter. In today’s society, I would suggest those with finances are often victims of the left’s vicious and prejudicial attacks.
@Dennis Locking it shouldn’t matter, but it does. wake up or stfu
@scary terrry Actually it doesn’t matter. Just because you are a failure in life doesn’t mean everyone else has to be.
@Dennis Locking Marco Muzzo, family net worth 1.8 billion. He killed 3 children and a grandfather while driving drunk. The average person would receive a life sentence. He was only given 10 years and was paroled after serving 4 years.
Brian Mulroney stepped down as PM after it was discovered he’d received a 1.1 million dollar bribe, deposited into a Swiss bank account from an Airbus lobbyist. No charges filed.
Panama papers named 894 Canadian companies and individuals hiding millions in offshore accounts. Not a single charge was laid.
There are two tier systems in Canada, one for the rich and another one for average Joe.
@ken lompart I saw it in the vid. Thanks. I think though if it were anyone else found to have alcohol in their system, that person would be punished. It also helps when you can afford the best lawyers though. It’s a very tragic and sad story all around though, whether or not O’Leary had any fault in it.
@Emerald Woodlands She was never charged with an alcohol offence to begin with because she passed a breathalyzer test, anyone else would not have been charged no matter if they were rich or not. She was only charged with careless driving but after the other boat operator plead guilty to not having his lights on there was little chance of convicting her, being rich had little to do with it other than making it front page news.
@ken lompart I heard them say that she did have some alcohol in her system as it did show up in the breathalyzer test. I haven’t followed this story. I have only heard bits and pieces on the news including the alcohol aspect. I haven’t heard anything about how she was driving the boat though in terms of recklessness, only that the other boat did not have its lights on which is incredibly careless. Perhaps money didn’t play a part then, and she wasn’t at fault.
TOo bad there wasn’t a two tiered system in canada. One for the smart and one for the Stupid.
Who would have a drink…..just before the cops show up???
Very odd to me!
And for this reason – I’m out.
Looks like they got some OJ justice.
Nice
How so? The other boater was at fault and even plead guilty.
@ken lompart
They are responding with emotions
When 2 boats hit ,you must aquit .
Money buys justice ……. always did …….. always will …… sad but true
If you werent so ignornat and read the evidence you’d see that she was totally innocent.
Hey now that’s not always true just 90 percent of the time.
The rich always get away with murder
Was anyone expecting otherwise??? “Equality,” as usual)))
all dui suspects “no officer you pulled me over and i had drink to calm my nerves, cops a scary” wtf who starts drinking after they just got into a motor vehicle crash and police are on their way. like wtf…
That would be tampering with evidence.. you are the evidence?
Yes, that part is just strange. Whoever gave her that drink, was likely not thinking clearly themselves.
Shocking that millionaires get off scott free. SHOCKING.
@Just Working for the weekend
Really? You think I would be accusing someone of murder or being drunk despite the evidence to the contrary?
I can tell you that if someone I loved died tragically I wouldn’t be accusing someone of something they didn’t do.
@Just Working for the weekend accidents happen. Need to accept personal responsibility. Suing is a way to say “it’s not my fault” when it completely is their own fault. Facts hurt
@Dan Philbert did o Leary pay you off as well
@K. Bosch you would probably be selling all their stuff on eBay. You seem low class
@Just Working for the weekend
They’re not going to miss their stuff anymore…. Why do I need cups and saucers? Sell it!
Justice has NOT been served. This judgement yet again proves that the rich are above the law. Extremely disappointing!
maybe they shouldn’t t have been in the middle of the lake with the lights off?
No running lights puts the other boat 100% at fault.
remember that this is Canada, and civil cases get going because of criminal behavior deemed so by the courts. Linda O’Leary was deemed NOT guilty, therefore a civil case will fail.
Kevin’s money was found not guilty,let’s get it straight.
Sounds like an emotional feeling
Absolutely
The rich get away with murder, like we couldn’t see this coming.
Linda couldn’t see either, the other boat should of had the lights on
It’s not murder it was an accident. Quit being a loser.
You know this is a rich on rich incident right?
You know this is a rich on rich incident right?
If you can afford to hire Brian Greenspan, you don’t have to worry about a thing. Ask Marco Muzzo!
Well at the end of the day they might of avoided prison time but burning in hell forever once you leave earth is worse. PS Brian Greenspan will be judged also.
The Golden rule is still alive and well. “Those with the gold MAKE the rules.
Hell yeah
I saw this quote on the movie ‘they live’ great movie.
Those with video footage can prove innocence. Watching the cottage cams, very clear how the boat lights were turned off making that boat almost invisible.
Super shocking that someone worth $4-500 million was found not guilty. Any avg person in identical circumstances would be at least found guilty of something
Different rules guide the rich and wealthy. What a crude world!
Everybody involved including the owner/operator of the boat with no lights on was fairly well off. With that said. If the lights had been on everybody would have made it home safe.
Really living up to the reputation of a shark, getting away with murder when there’s blood in the water.
