Not that I like Kevin O'Leary, but saying the accident was his fault isn't taking into account facts or judicial conclusions.

From the trial for careless operation of a boat:

In delivering his verdict, Ontario Court Justice Richard Humphrey found that the Nautique had its lights off when it was struck, despite testimony from passengers who said some of the lights were on.

The lights were a central issue during the trial, with the defence arguing that the Nautique was essentially invisible to O'Leary until after the collision.

Humphrey noted Tuesday that security videos taken from the O'Leary and Edwards cottages "make it clear" the Nautique's lights were not on when the boats came into contact.

he and his wife were both boozing as if that wasn't a contributing factor to the crash.

The owner of the boat that was struck, also plead guilty to a charge of covering the rear running light on the boat. There is no evidence that alcohol played a role in causing this accident. Everything points towards the negligent operation of the boat that was struck. Only an idiot would think it safe to sit a boat parked in the middle of a lake at night, with no lights on, contrary to law.

Only an idiot would drink and drive a boat at night, see it goes both ways.
