No evidence that she provoked him, and so what if she did? Who cares that she was in Sea Shepard? None of these points have anything to do with the fact that we have at a minimum evidence of Reckless Endangerment and possible attempted murder (long stretch there) - This information CAN help explain the fish collectors actions. In the United States of America You are convicted in a trial based on the preponderance of evidence. Now granted, this IS Scubaboard court, but shouldn't similar rules apply? The point being you can speculate all you want but there is REAL evidence of a crime here, and I fully expect that when they figure out who this guy is he will be arrested.
After posting this, I read a quote directly from the prosecutor that will receive this case.
Prosecuting Attorney Mitch Roth said Monday he was aware of the incident, which has not yet been submitted to his office for prosecution. He also responded to questions about the potential charges the alleged attacker could face. Assault, under state law, requires someone to physically injure another person, he said. Reckless endangerment is “putting in a place of danger of death or injury,” Roth said.
Both charges are misdemeanors. Prosecuting Attorney Mitch Roth said Monday he was aware of the incident, which has not yet been submitted to his office for prosecution.
