She has pleaded not guilty to one charge of careless operation of a vessel under the Canada Shipping Act. Her husband – celebrity businessman Kevin O’Leary – testified in her defence Wednesday, saying he saw “zero light” coming from the other vessel involved in the late-night crash on Lake Joseph until after the collision.The question of whether the other boat had its lights on has been a point of contention in the case.
Witnesses on the other boat, including the owner who was charged in the crash with failing to exhibit a navigation light, testified that they remembered some lights being on.Court earlier heard testimony from a police officer who said Linda O’Leary registered an “alert range” level of blood alcohol on a breath test taken shortly after the crash. The officer said Linda O’Leary told her she had only had one drink after the crash.
