Prosecutors still insist that the person with his hand on the tiller of a drifting sailboat was at fault for being hit by a speeding powerboat in the dead of night.

These "prosecutors" are clearly ignorant of maritime right-of-way.

Lying about it is more likely the case in an attempt to avoid prosecuting the real criminal.

It's not a right-of-way issue if the boat was invisible in the dark. Lights are also required.
