OGDEN, Utah (AP) — A lawyer for one of the boaters charged with failing to rescue a swimmer cut down by the powerboat’s propeller argued Thursday that the woman put herself in danger by swimming in open water. The woman, a University of Utah scientist, bled to death at an Ogden-area reservoir last year.
“You would guess it would be dangerous to swim in an area where boats can boat, in open water, with 10-inch swells?” Glen Neeley, the defense attorney, asked a Weber County sheriff’s investigator during a trial in 2nd District Court.
