Judge Dismisses Charge in Fatal Va. Boat Collision

Posted:

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP)- A judge has dismissed an involuntary manslaughter charge stemming from a boat collision that killed a Gloucester boy.

Newport News Circuit Judge H. Vincent Conway ruled that 49-year-old Wayne Espinoza's lack of judgment didn't warrant the charge.

Espinoza was operating at towing vessel that collided with a 19-foot bass fishing boat operated by Philip Brewer on the James River on Oct. 17, 2010. Brewer's son, 13-year-old Lance Brewer, was killed.

The judge dismissed the charge against Espinoza on Monday.

Philip Brewer also was charged with involuntary manslaughter. He was found not guilty in March.
