(32 minutes later)
Lewis Carr was found guilty of breaching Jersey's shipping law over a crash involving a Condor ferry and a fishing boat Lewis Carr (left) and Artur Sevash-Zade (right) had been on trial at Jersey's Royal Court
A ferry crew member has been found guilty of breaching Jersey's shipping law over a crash involving his vessel and a fishing boat, killing all three on board. A jury has acquitted a ferry worker of manslaughter and been unable to reach a verdict for his crew mate on the same charge over the death of three fishermen.
But a jury at Jersey's Royal Court failed to reach a verdict on three gross negligence manslaughter charges against Lewis Carr. Artur Sevash-Zade and Lewis Carr stood trial at Jersey's Royal Court accused of three charges of gross negligence manslaughter after Condor's Commodore Goodwill collided with trawler L'Ecume II in December 2022, killing Michael Michieli, Larry Simyunn and Jervis Baligat.
L'Ecume II skipper Michael Michieli and crew members Larry Simyunn and Jervis Baligat drowned after their vessel collided with Condor's Commodore Goodwill ferry off Jersey in December 2022. Jurors could not reach a verdict on the charges against Carr, 30, but found him guilty of a breach of Jersey's shipping law.
Jurors found the 30-year-old guilty of a separate breach of Jersey's shipping law relating to a failure to discharge duties related to their ship in a manner likely to cause "loss destruction, death or injury". Mr Sevash-Zade, 35, was found not guilty of gross negligence manslaughter and the jury could not reach a verdict on the shipping law charge.
Carr's co-defendant Artur Sevash-Zade was found not guilty of three gross negligence manslaughter charges. L'Ecume II crew members Michael Michieli, Larry Simyunn and Jervis Baligat died after a collision involving their boat and Condor's Commodore Goodwill
The 35-year-old had also been charged with the same Jersey shipping law breach as Carr, but the jury was unable to reach a verdict on this count against the Ukrainian. Carr is due to be sentenced on 4 December for the charge of breaching Jersey's shipping law relating to a failure to discharge their duties in a manner likely to cause "loss destruction, death or injury".
Carr, who was the ferry's second officer at the time of the incident, is due to be sentenced on 4 December and could face a maximum of two years in prison. He faces a maximum of two years in prison.
