Boat Crash Survivor Testifies the Empty Bottles on Pino's Boat Were the Group's Trash | Pt 4

Описание: You've heard about the empty bottles on Pino's boat. A survivor who tried to save her friends just told the jury where they really came from.

Camila Alvarez was seventeen and on George Pino's boat the day it crashed. She's twenty-one now, a Florida State senior and the daughter of two lawyers, and she was friends with Pino's daughter, the birthday girl. The crash on Biscayne Bay over Labor Day weekend 2022 killed her friend, seventeen-year-old Lucy Fernandez. Pino is charged with manslaughter and vessel homicide and is presumed innocent. Nobody tested him for alcohol that night, so the state is trying to prove impairment after the fact, and so far its own witnesses keep saying he seemed fine.

Cami lived the crash from inside the water, and her account of trying to keep bleeding, drowning friends afloat is hard to sit through. Then watch the cross. The defense uses her to explain the pile of empty bottles on Pino's boat, and to tell the jury his driving never felt unsafe. Watch the state's answer: she'd been drinking, she was looking at the floor, and she wasn't watching how the boat was being run at all.

Here's the thing about a case with no blood test. The state is left asking teenagers what they saw, and a seventeen-year-old having fun on a boat is not the witness who can tell you whether the man at the helm was impaired.

WATCH WITH JUSTICE

1:04 to 6:30 - Cami introduces the friend group and the birthday weekend that brought a dozen kids to the water. These were the girls on the boat.
6:30 to 9:02 - The drinking at the sandbar, including a game called one for one, and Cami admits that by the time they left she was impaired herself.
9:35 to 13:22 - The video plays. The girls singing and dancing on the boat minutes before the crash, Lucy among them, and the courtroom feels it.
18:48 to 21:29 - The seating chart. Cami places everyone, and the three girls hurt the worst, Lucy among them, were all sitting on the same side the boat struck.
21:29 to 30:53 - The crash and the rescue. Cami in the water pushing cushions to friends who can't stay afloat, Mrs. Pino struggling to hold a bleeding girl up, and George Pino's hands on the capsized hull as someone screams to check underneath.
33:32 to 41:06 - The defense cross. The empty bottles on Pino's boat were the group's trash, tossed there by everyone, and Cami never saw him drink. She felt safe the whole ride, and the impact knocked Pino out cold.
41:55 to 44:26 - The state pushes back. Cami wasn't keeping track of Pino, she was looking down at the floor, and trusting the driver is not the same as watching him.
