Marine Patrol Boat Chase by Weirs?

He lost the Bird case, and Ward had to be ''saved'' by Governor Lynch.

Hard to stop a boat underway that doesn't want to be stopped. Ramming could be dangerous to all involved. The boat has to stop on its own at some point. End of chase.

Some defendants deserve to lose. Since this guy seems to have gone after (his wife?) twice, and there's zero question he committed a serious offense on the water, I doubt his lawyer expects to burnish his reputation here

Morrissette’s arrest on July 15 followed an hour-long boat chase on Lake Winnipesaukee during which he attempted to outrun state Marine Patrol patrol boats in a pursuit that covered parts of the lake in four different communities.
