George Pino, a prominent real estate developer in Florida, is facing trial for manslaughter and felony vessel homicide following a tragic boating accident in September 2022 that resulted in the death of 17-year-old Luciana 'Lucy' Fernandez and left another passenger, Katerina Puig, with severe injuries. During the trial, which began recently, Pino broke down in tears shortly after the prosecution's opening statements, leading to a dismissal of the jury for the day. Prosecutor Laura Adams accused Pino of reckless behavior, stating he was speeding at around 50 miles per hour and failed to wear a kill switch while piloting the boat. The crash occurred when Pino allegedly lost control and hit a channel marker, throwing all 13 passengers overboard. Investigators found 61 empty alcohol bottles on the boat, suggesting that alcohol may have played a role in the incident. Pino’s attorney, Howard Srebnick, argued that there was no evidence of intoxication and emphasized the tragedy of the situation, asserting that Pino would never endanger the girls' lives. If found guilty, Pino could face a prison sentence ranging from 15 to 30 years.
