Jeff Knight denies responsibility for fatal Clearwater Ferry accident
A Pinellas County businessman accused of causing a fatal crash with the Clearwater Ferry has pleaded not guilty to the 24 charges against him. The crash in April resulted in the death of one person and multiple injuries, with the ferry captain also facing charges for a navigational violation related to a light malfunction. The defendant's attorney strongly refutes claims that he immediately fled the scene, emphasizing that he assisted and cooperated with authorities. The attorney argues that the ferry's operational failures and safety standards should also be scrutinized, in addition to defending their client's actions on the day of the incident. The legal team is prepared to present evidence to support the defendant's case and seek a fair trial.
