Jerry Nehl Boylan was indicted again for allegedly abandoning his duties as caption of the Conception, as 34 people were killed in the boat fire. The indictment alleges that Boylan was the first person off the burning boat.
Tuesday's indictment said Boylan failed his responsibilities as the ship's captain in several ways, including not having a night pathol on the boat; not training crew members or having enough fire drills; and not trying to rescue anyone on the boat. According to the indictment, Boylan had both a fire extinguisher and fire ax next to him in boat's wheelhouse while the fire raged on, but used neither.
Instead, the complaint alleged that Boylan was the first person off the burning vessel, "even though 33 passengers and one crewmember were still alive and trapped below deck in the vessel’s bunkroom and in need of assistance to escape," the indictment read. Boylan will be arraigned on the new charge in U.S. District Court in the coming weeks. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 10 years in federal prison.that I have read and agree
