Has there been any new news about State Rep Laurie Boyce (R) Alton and the fatal 2006 Harley Davidson (dead 45-year old husband-driver & severly injured 41-year old wife) verses 2010 Chevy Equinox (driven by Boyce) left turn collision at the intersection of Saco Rd & Rt 111 in Alfred, Maine, since the fatal collision happened on August 16, 2010? Both Harley riders were wearing helmets according to the Lewiston Sun Journal news report.

Probably, a big and important question for the law enforcement in Maine is: Was it an accident or was it a crime(?) while they decide how to proceed with the case.

This same question: Was it an accident or was it a crime(?) was also the key legal point in the Erica Blizzard trial in Belknap County Court in Laconia in June 2010, and the jury voted 8-4, and 7-5 on two slightly different criminal charges. Supposedly, a jury conviction needs a vote of 12 - 0, to get a conviction, otherwise it is considered to be a 'hung jury' with no decision made, either way.
