- 📌 Jeff Knight has entered a plea of not guilty to charges related to a fatal ferry crash in April.
- ⚠️ He faces eight felony counts and 16 additional violations for allegedly leaving the scene of the accident.
- 🚨 Witnesses, including Captain Kevin Cabrera Hernandez, reported hearing screams and chaos from the ferry after the crash.
Legal Perspective on Leaving the Scene
- ⚖️ A criminal defense attorney provided an outside perspective on the charges against Knight.
- 💡 Even though Knight remained at the scene for 11 minutes and instructed others to call 911, this may not be sufficient to avoid charges of leaving the scene.
- 🚫 The attorney explained that leaving before law enforcement arrives prevents the accused from providing information, details, or a statement about the incident, thus potentially still constituting leaving the scene.
