Does the retired spouse have enough years left to see closure? A similar Winnipesaukee boating civil case from 1997 is still unresolved. Fortunately, that surviving family is younger in years.
Of five similar Hit & Run boating cases I've seen, all are doing major time behind bars -- including one (ten year sentence) that occurred just a year ago and involved no fatality. A Florida case, which needs to be called a Hit & Float (defendant thrown from his boat, and couldn't run) is serving an 84-year term.
Let's face it: Winnipesaukee's latest defendant drove [off] through a major loophole in New Hampshire law, and has already benefited mightily. That, apparently, isn't enough. Federal appeals are next.

I have to laugh at the possibility of Dan moving away from his family and life in New Hampshire, to move to Florida to drive a boat and of course to Kill someone purposely on a lake in Florida, ha ha ha. Sorry for the sarcasm -
And how do you actually know that Federal appeals are next?
How do you really know, sir or m'am, what happened that night?
You were not there, none of us were there.
Why is it that there is no such thing as an accident anymore?
And if you all want the speed limit on the lake to be 25mph at night - Dan was said to be going 27mph - if your on the road, there is no way a police officer would pull you over for going 2 miles an hour over the speed limit.
If the night was moonless - how was visibility so good?
People listen to everything they hear and everything they read and then just believe it to be true.
It is our job as citizens of this country to question everything -
One last thing -
Frank -please can you leave my family alone now?
please, please, please.
(not saying that the above message was from frank - just wanted to ask)
