A Miami jury finds Florida real estate broker George Pino not guilty on charges tied to a 2022 boat crash during a birthday celebration. The crash occurred on 4 September 2022, over Labor Day weekend, when Pino was helming a vessel being used to host his daughter’s 18th birthday party. Reports say the party had 11 guests, and the wreck killed a girl and left another teenager with a permanent disability.
Pino is charged with manslaughter and felony vessel homicide in connection with the incident, according to coverage from ABC News and The Guardian. He is acquitted by the jury on Monday evening. Coverage also states that the victim’s family reacts with dismay to the verdict. The reports note that Pino and his wife, Cecilia, were hosting the celebration.
The sources agree on the defendant, the charges, the date and circumstances of the crash, the death and serious injury, the location of the trial, the jury verdict, and the family’s reaction. The reporting does not indicate further details beyond the acquittal and the aftermath.
