George Pino, a Miami real estate broker, faces a vessel homicide charge for crashing his boat, killing a 17-year-old passenger and severely injuring another. Initially charged with less serious misdemeanors, the case was re-evaluated, leading to the felony charge.
Prosecutor Laura Adams indicated that Pino will not be considered a danger to the community, suggesting he remains not a flight risk. Thus, she is not pursuing bond changes, despite the seriousness of the charges against him.
Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Marisa Tinkler Mendez confirmed that Pino must turn himself in to face the felony charge without the necessity of a bond, appearing to agree with the prosecutor's assessment.
Pino's defense attorney Howard Srebnick proposed the arrangement to prevent unnecessary delays in the legal process, emphasizing that logistical concerns should not complicate matters, especially as the defendant will undergo standard booking procedures for the felony.
