• Judge weighs whether Jeff Knight's 2019 boat crash can be used in Clearwater Ferry trial (wfla.com) — A Pinellas judge in Clearwater is deciding whether jurors in the Clearwater Ferry death case can hear about Jeff Knight's earlier 2019 boat crash, which injured several people but caused no deaths. Prosecutors say the prior incident shows his knowledge of boating rules, while the defense argues it would unfairly sway the jury. A final ruling will come after more Williams Rule testimony later this month.
