<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A Baltimore man was sentenced to 18 months of home detention for causing a violent boat crash in 2015 that killed two women and injured five others near the Key Bridge.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Timothy Jay Wilson, 57, owner of <span style="font-size: 16pt;"><a href="http://jetblast.net/">Jet Blast</a></span>, was convicted in Baltimore County Circuit Court of two counts of negligent manslaughter and one count of causing life-threatening injuries with a vessel while intoxicated. <span id="more-16263"></span>Charges were brought by <a href="http://dnr.maryland.gov/nrp">Maryland Natural Resources Police</a> after a four-month investigation.</span></p>

The boat then careened into the seawall at Fort Carroll, where it stopped.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Two passengers—Windy Lawson, 37, and Kimberly Ervin, 45, both of Baltimore, were ejected from their seats near the bow and killed. They were not wearing life jackets. The victims, some clinging to the vessel, called 911 and were rescued by first responders. The two bodies were recovered later that day.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A grand jury concluded Wilson was “grossly negligent” and indicted him on 16 counts, including homicide by vessel and manslaughter. Wilson entered an Alford plea on three charges, meaning he did not plead guilty but acknowledged prosecutors had sufficient evidence for the conviction.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wilson was sentenced to 12 years in prison, with all but 18 months suspended. The court recommended that the time is served at home. Wilson also will be required to complete five years of supervised probation.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The plea deal with Baltimore County States Attorney Scott Shellenberger was worked out with Wilson’s attorney, David B. Irwin, of Towson, Md., after numerous postponements, the plea was made on Feb. 27, </span>2017<span style="font-size: 12pt;">, and the disposition with the extremely lenient terms was announced by the Court on July 25, 2017.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The resulting sentence would be viewed by many as a sweet deal for a simple DWI or Boating While Impaired conviction, not to mention the two lives lost due to Wilson’s careless conduct which was an expected result of drinking and operating a vessel – not an “accident”.  ;The deal agreed to by Shellenberger with the business owner is another example of tough-talking prosecutors dealing out uneven justice through plea deals.</span></p>
