Diamond Island Boating Accident update

I was just wondering if there is any update on the Diamond Island boating accident. The accident occured on June 15th, 4 1/2 months later and there is not much of anything being said. In the last news report (below) on September 13th, it was stated that "the last piece of evidence being tested at an out-of-state laboratory should be available at month's end." It also says that "The grand jury is scheduled to meet next on Sept. 25."

IMO - seems like a long time not to hear any more on the incident.

September 13th article in Citizen:
Lt. Dunleavy said he anticipates that the results from the last piece of evidence being tested at an out-of-state laboratory should be available at month's end. The rest of the department investigative report has been completed and, once the last piece of information is added, the entire case file will be forwarded to Belknap County Attorney Jim Carroll for review.

As the county's top law enforcement officer, it will be Carroll's decision as to whether Blizzard should be charged with negligent homicide in connection with the crash. If Carroll believes evidence supports charging Blizzard, the case would be forwarded to a grand jury for possible indictment. The grand jury is scheduled to meet next on Sept. 25.
