Somebody posted an update on that a while back. Seems like the wronged
party was making some progress.... I remember it as in the
"heartland," not the left coast....

Here in Iowa we had a cop kill a guy in his bunk, in a designated
anchorage. The cops tried to allege it was somehow the victims fault
for not showing non required lights. We had a drunk run down a boat,
hit it from behind, went over the top of the victim, killing the
driver, and kept right on going. They found the damaged boat and
witnesses to each of the drinks the guy had that night.

I'm in favor of laws that take auto driving licenses away from drunk
boat drivers. I'm also in favor of licensing drivers of power boats with
more than a very small engine (in order to allow kids to drive their own
boats). I also favor mandatory jail time for the *first* DUI offense,
and increased time in jail for subsequent convictions.
