This same situation can happen to anyone of us. If it does,  Hopefully the MP wont try to trump up the charges against us. As we can see for ourselves the jury didnt listen to the MP's BS!!! However, Mr Littlefield was held responsible for someone else not having there stern light on? Go figure.  |
IMHO the the problem with Littlefield's defense re: no stern light is that he lacked credibility. He claimed no light but the victims claimed it was on. He left the scene, for reasons we can speculate on, claiming the "bump" was so minor he thought it was nothing. This latter assertion seems unbelievable. (and lets not forget the 3'rd boat trial baloon) So I'd guess that when the jury was asked whom to believe re: the stern light, they judged this claim along with the others and found it lacking as well.
