During a recent court appearance, prosecutors announced that George Pino was formally charged with felony vessel homicide, more than two years after the tragic crash that killed a 17-year-old girl and severely injured another. The newly introduced witness, a Miami-Dade firefighter present at the scene, testified that Pino appeared intoxicated shortly after the incident, prompting the State Attorney's Office to reevaluate the charges against him which had initially contained lesser misdemeanors.
The case had previously been categorized as a series of careless boating misdemeanors, but the emergence of new testimony from a witness prompted the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office to charge Pino with a felony. Maker of the unfortunate incident, this new charge signifies a significant escalation in the legal consequences Pino faces due to the death of Luciana 'Lucy' Fernandez, and the injury to Katerina Puig.
