She’ll get off because money
Much like your mom just way way way less of it
Kevin’s money will allow his wife to get away with murder. That’s how the Canadian “justice” $y$tem works.
@glenn hankins every justice system. Stop crying, its because you have none.
@glenn hankins how sad is that ?!? Canada is a developed country with a third world justice system
Oh no. She broke her foot
She`s rich she`ll get off.
Just like that piece of work that Killed a Grandpa and 3 beautiful children.
His family was rich and could do whatever he wanted with No tough punishment.
He’s on day parole now. 👏🏼🤬
Justice system is a joke.
Depends if she did anything wrong, 11:30 at night so there will be a lot of questions to answer, like we’re the navigation lights working on the boat she hit.
Her lawyers will tear apart all witnesses and expert testimony. Call the process “seriously flawed ” and handled inappropriately by law enforcement. Ultimately creating a bit of doubt and then acquit the accused. ** Must have deep pockets to pull it off , but that’s how it works.
You laid it right out there in a short paragraph. That is the way the cookie crumbles though.
So wait she isn’t even being charged with manslaughter?
@collars and cuffs how would it be hard to prove? Regardless of whether something is easy to prove or not, the accused still gets charged. Negligence causing death? I would say so.
Why was there any boats on the water at 11:30 at night?…something doesn’t add up
@Delno Abrahamson regardless you have to abide by specific rules when boating after dark. For example: 5 mph max speed and running lights are required during restricted visibility, before sunrise, and after dark.
@Delno Abrahamson There’s always boats on the water. It wasn’t that late. She didn’t notify police until a while after it happened and had a drink that’s why she was charged. Why would anyone have a drink knowing police are coming? They wouldn’t, she must have had that drink before. Huge lawsuit against her l see
@collars and cuffs it was after 11pm
Someone is definitely taking one for the team
Should be cheaper than their last year’s wine bill.
My understanding is that O’Leary himself had been drinking. It’s very fortuitous that he wasn’t driving.
@Randy Tricker LOL
@Randy Tricker of course… Apparently now that’s still a DUI
*Drinking after an accident*
@xXGRUBWINKLERXx to my understanding that is correct. That being said i am not sure if they said it was over the legal limit
Yup.
@bob carlsson Yes later that night when Police arrived she cleared it up for them who was driving.
She is fortunate to have had Kevin for a witness.
In Canada if you are wealthy you can get away with your criminal liabilty. Remember Marco Muzzo?
In every country. Stop acting its only happening in Canada.
@murdoq ruckus when was this
Are you even Canadian lol
Wut
She killed two ppl having dinner then calls herself a “CAUTIOUS” driver??
Yeah, a maniac would have nailed at least 14 of the 16 and picked up the spare when coming back to check out what happened.
Plot twist. Kevin O’Leary was driving the boat drunk. His wife Linda is taking the rap of drunk driving the boat for him.
Either Kevin or their son 🤔
I thought that all along
1:21 Kevin has no time for this petty stuff because he’s out wristwatch shopping.
She has money so no justice will be served
The only reason this made news is because of wealth. Same reason why justice will be biased and unserved.
The rich never go to jail. She’ll get off with a slap on the wrist.
Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein are the exception
@slidejones Not the same situation at all
@xXGRUBWINKLERXx oj simpson got away with it $$$
woman, rich and Canadian courts.. she will be fine.
Now we’ll see how well money talks .
We all know her husband Mr Wonderful was actually driving the boat at the time. She is taking the blame so he doesn’t get in to trouble and get sued.
How do you know that.?
Nothing is in her name.
just look at the charge they’re charging her with the shipping act. If I did that I’d be gone for life. It’s the most minimal charge under the circumstances the prosecutor could’ve thrown at her. She’s going to be free any day from this charge, even if found guilty.
Of course SHE was driving the boat at the time,. ok sure, makes sense that an ego maniacally sociopath would leave the driving to his wife. that tracks..,
No manslaughter, not even criminal negligence causing death, just careless operation of a vessel…
