Jurors on Monday found George Pino not guilty in a fatal 2022 boat crash near Boca Chita Key.<\/p>\n

Pino, 55, was charged with second-degree manslaughter and vessel homicide for the crash that claimed the life of 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez<\/a> and left another teen, Katy Puig, with permanent injuries.<\/p>\n

After deliberations, jurors found Pino not guilty of both charges.<\/p>\n

For two weeks, jurors heard testimony from more than 20 witnesses, including Fernandez’s father, Andres, and Pino’s wife, Cecilia. <\/p>\n

They were also given the chance to see the boat that was damaged in the crash. <\/p>\n

During closing arguments, prosecutors argued that Pino was reckless when he crashed his boat into a channel marker on Labor Day weekend 2022, while Pino and his defense claimed that the crash was an accident.<\/p>\n
