 ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Sheriff's officials investigating a tour boat capsizing last fall that killed 20 elderly passengers concluded in a report released Friday that neither the vessel's owner nor its captain committed a crime.
The Warren County Sheriff's Office looked into whether there was any intentional, reckless or negligent conduct that amounted to a crime, and submitted its findings to prosecutors. They are conducting their own investigation into the Oct. 2 accident in the Adirondacks and could still pursue a case.
"The Sheriff's Office chose not to file criminal charges," District Attorney Kate Hogan said. "That doesn't mean that there necessarily aren't criminal charges there."
