• Count 2: Recklessly causing the death of John K. Clark.
• Count 3: Recklessly causing the death of Jeffrey C. Little

Davis also faces two counts of Assault in the First Degree (Class F Felony) for recklessly engaging in conduct that manifested extreme indifference to the value of human life and caused serious physical injury to others.

• Count 4: Causing serious physical injury to Luke H. Morgan
• Count 5: Causing serious physical injury to Gary W. Holcombe

Additionally, the indictment includes three misdemeanor/other counts.

• Count 6: Reckless Operation of Vehicle/Vessel
• Count 7: Failure to Follow Boating Rules of the Road, specifically failing to maintain a proper lookout

The kicker (cival case)

The lawsuit alleges MLF and its president, Boyd Duckett, fostered a reckless tournament culture by failing to regulate boat speeds, require safety certifications, or implement a boating safety plan—despite knowing the lake was shared with the public.

If your any type of tournament director ot owner or sponsor u have your eyes on this. Imagine a 22foot 450hp walleye boat at 75mph with a rained up windshield it might of flew up but it sure as shit would of took a lot more collateral before going in the air.

Could be lots of stuff. Maybe watching his engine data, tach, speed, jackplate or trim setting, or trying to follow a a track or watching his contour map. There’s so much going on, he may have glanced up but didn’t notice the other boat before looking back down at his graphs. Doesn’t excuse anything at all. It’s still a horrible situation where people lost there lives because of someone’s poor decisions.

Take that, and figure a new jaguar with a 500 will run triple digits. Stuff happens real quick at those speeds.
