Maritime Attorney Admits Only Pino Can Say There Was Another Boat | Pt 31

The lawyer who wrote the Pinos' sworn answers about the crash took the stand in the Pino trial. And under cross, the other boat traced back to one source. This is the trial of George Pino, the Miami real estate broker charged in the Labor Day weekend boat crash that killed 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez on Biscayne Bay in 2022. The state's problem has never changed. Investigators never tested the man at the helm, so the felony case rests on proving a recklessness they never locked down. One of the few hard things the state did lock down was a set of sworn answers the Pinos signed in a civil lawsuit, where the cause of the crash was blamed on the wake of another boat. The man on the stand here is the maritime attorney who actually wrote those answers. The defense brought him back for a reason. They want the jury to hear that lawyers draft these answers, not clients, and that the wake story was Pino's good-faith account written up as routine civil procedure. Watch what the prosecution does with that on cross. They go straight at the one thing the whole account depends on, where the story of the other boat actually came from, and they walk the attorney through the paper trail of what Pino was doing in that civil case while he said he wanted to make everyone whole. --- WATCH WITH JUSTICE 1:24 to 8:04 - The attorney explains how the Pinos' sworn answers got written. Watch who actually drafts these, because the defense is building toward the idea that the wake story was lawyer work, not a personal lie. 8:24 to 17:46 - The interrogatories themselves, including the answer blaming the wake of an unidentified northbound boat, signed under penalty of perjury. The defense frames it as Pino's honest recollection. 18:43 to 22:58 - Cross opens. The prosecutor pins down that the only human source for the other boat is Pino, since his wife did not see the crash and the girls were not watching. 23:26 to 30:37 - The paper trail. Pino filed to limit his liability and moved to dismiss the lawsuit. Watch the state set that against the claim that he was trying to make every family whole. 40:33 to 44:18 - Redirect. The defense rebuilds, explaining that the limitation filing is standard maritime procedure the insurer controls, and that Pino paid out of his own savings to settle three of the families. --- COMPLETE CASE COVERAGE justiceisaprocess.com SUBSCRIBE for daily trial coverage and hit the notification bell so you never miss testimony.
