1) Another 2008 Massachusetts
fatal collision—also "faulting" GPS—resulted in a ten-year supervised probation, a three-year ban from boating, a one-year suspended sentence, a five-year revocation of
boating license, and a three-month suspension of
driver's license. Alcohol was not a factor.
—January, 2010
Soundings magazine—no other resolution of this case was found at Google. (!)
2) Learning of
quite obviously Erika—and putting on my unaccustomed F. Lee Bailey hat—this is the one rare case that I would put the defendant on the witness stand.
(In a wordless plea for sympathy
).
3) If you slowly cruised past the crash scene
this season, you'd see somebody has added a rather tasteless lighthouse model.

A GPS display that is staggered can't be a helpful defense in the face of BWI evidence.
