(Call to the Order of the Court.)  
THE COURT:  Good morning.  Let's call the case, please. 
COURTROOM DEPUTY:  Calling case number 24-cr-80103, the 
United States of America v. Dustin Sean McCabe.  
Counsel, please state your appearances, beginning with 
the government. 
MR. KELLER:  Good morning, Your Honor.  Zachary Keller, 
Tanner Stiehl, and Jacob Koffsky on behalf of the 
United States, joined by Special Agent Caleb King of the 
Coast Guard Investigative Service at counsel table. 
THE COURT:  Good morning.  You may all be seated. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Good morning, Your Honor.  Terrence 
O'Sullivan and Calisha Francis on behalf of the defendant, 
Sean -- Dustin Sean McCabe, who is standing to our left. 
THE COURT:  All right.  Excellent.  Good morning to you 
as well.  You may be seated.  
The rule remains invoked.  So let's ensure that that 
gets complied with.  I did review the parties' final proposed 
jury instruction as to Count 1, along with the alterations to 
the verdict form, that is Docket Entry 75, and I have 
incorporated that modification into the Court's instructions.  
I just had one final question, and that is whether the 
"or" that is between the two subparts in element 3 should be 
and/or or or/and?  
MR. KELLER:  Judge, I think that I actually considered 
Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC   Document 113   Entered on FLSD Docket 05/09/2025   Page 3 of 247

adding that.  It's just that in the 924(c), they had the "or," 
but I think that and/or would actually make it less confusing, 
so I think that would be reasonable and appropriate.  
THE COURT:  Well, let me hear from Mr. O'Sullivan or 
Ms. Francis. 
MS. FRANCIS:  Your Honor, we also did consider the 
and/or and we do believe that it should be "or."  And that's 
just based on the instructions that we're giving in other 
districts as well.  We don't believe that adding and/or would 
make it less confusing.  We believe that, in fact, it may add 
to the confusion.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  Well, at this juncture, I'm just 
going to go with the parties' proposal because there is no 
agreement and this was filed as a joint submission.  So we will 
stick with that language.  
All right.  Before I colloquy Mr. McCabe, let me 
inquire of Mr. O'Sullivan.  Can you update the Court on 
Mr. McCabe's decision to testify?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Yes, Your Honor.  Mr. McCabe will be 
testifying today.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  Now, from my understanding, I know 
in the motion to sever there was a suggestion that he may wish 
to testify on some counts and not others.  
Can you provide any indication as to whether the 
anticipated direct will be limited in any substantive way?

MR. O'SULLIVAN:  The anticipated direct is going to 
cover all five counts of the indictment, Your Honor.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  All right then.  Any other items or 
issues to bring forward at this time, Mr. O'Sullivan?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Just two things, Your Honor.  One, I'm 
going to be using the ELMO as part of my direct to show about 
six or seven, maybe eight exhibits that have already been 
entered into evidence. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  And number two is, during part of my 
direct, about a third or a halfway in, I'm going to ask leave 
of court to allow my client to leave the witness stand and to 
draw on this canvas for a demonstrative aid.  It will not be 
entered into evidence.  But it's basically -- and I told 
Mr. Keller this, this morning.  Basically, he is going to be 
drawing a position of the boat during the May -- or March 29th 
incident, where the boat was positioned, where certain divers 
were positioned.  He is going to use that to explain how the 
Gulf Stream works in conjunction with the seas, and current, 
and winds.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  A couple of questions.  Number 
one --
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Yes, ma'am. 
THE COURT:  -- I understand Mr. McCabe has an ankle 
monitor; is that correct?

MR. O'SULLIVAN:  That is correct, Your Honor. 
THE COURT:  Is that visible at all underneath -- over 
his clothing?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  I had him walk around the hallway, I 
didn't look at it, but I would certainly welcome the Court to, 
you know, make your own observations because, obviously, we 
don't want the jury to see that.  The way it's being worn and 
the suit that he is wearing today, I did not notice it.  But, 
of course, I would welcome the Court to -- 
THE COURT:  Okay.  I will do that in just a moment. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Yes, ma'am. 
THE COURT:  Any objection to the demonstrative issue, 
Mr. Keller?  
MR. KELLER:  I raised the same issue about the ankle 
monitor that Your Honor did.  Also, I don't have an objection 
to him doing that because I think it's his right to be able to 
draw, just like we had our witnesses do.  I would ask that if 
that does happen, that I be permitted to go sit over there so 
that I can see what's happening. 
THE COURT:  That's fine.  You can arrange yourself so 
you can have proper visibility.  
Mr. McCabe, can you, at this time, just walk over here 
to the well of the courtroom so that I can make sure that your 
monitor is not visible. 
THE DEFENDANT:  (Complies.)

THE COURT:  Okay.  Turn around, please, sir. 
THE DEFENDANT:  (Complies.)  
THE COURT:  All right.  Counsel for the government, 
same -- same exercise.  Just ensure -- I don't see anything.  
MR. KELLER:  I don't see anything, Judge. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  All right then.  I think we're okay, 
sir.  
And it's charged, Mr. O'Sullivan?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Yes, ma'am.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  
Okay.  Any other items we should take up before we 
inquire about our jurors?  
MR. KELLER:  No, Your Honor, none from the government. 
THE COURT:  Mr. O'Sullivan?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Judge, just for logistical 
considerations, when I do have the tripod up there, where do 
you want Mr. McCabe and where do you want me and where do you 
want the tripod set up -- 
THE COURT:  Okay.
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  -- just so we don't have to do a 
sidebar or anything and we can do it quickly and judiciously. 
THE COURT:  So we should bring the easel over so that 
it's visible to the jurors, and also, Mr. Keller, back there.  
I should be able to see it so long as it's slightly tilted.  
You should equip Mr. McCabe with a lapel microphone or a

handheld so that he can speak while he is drawing.  And then as 
soon as he is done doing his demonstrative, he should return to 
the witness stand.
Does that answer your question?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Yes, ma'am.  Once he returns, do you 
want me to leave the tripod up or should I return it back to -- 
behind defense counsel?  
THE COURT:  You can leave it here for the duration of 
the direct. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Okay. 
THE COURT:  And then we can determine whether it needs 
to be set aside for the cross. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Yes, ma'am.  That answers my 
questions.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  All right.  
Ms. Alexander, do you know if our jurors are here?  
Five are missing?  
COURT SECURITY OFFICER:  Yes, Your Honor.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  Then while we're waiting, are all of 
the exhibits ready to go in order, nicely organized for the 
jury?  
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor.  We have the jury tablet 
loaded and we have the physical exhibits loaded.  And we have 
removed everything that was not admitted.  
THE COURT:  Excellent.  Now, what about a redacted

indictment?  
MR. KELLER:  We do not have a redacted indictment.  We 
could prepare one over lunch, if that's Your Honor's 
preference.  
THE COURT:  Yes.  Please do that.  Okay.  
Okay.  Then anything else?  I'm going to take a brief 
break to await our jurors.  
Mr. O'Sullivan.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Judge, there was one other thing that 
we had thought about.  Depending on how the direct goes, there 
is a possibility that we may ask for leave of court to recall 
Agent King.  I don't know.  It just kind of depends on how the 
direct is going to come out.  
THE COURT:  Okay.
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  I did advise Mr. Keller of that, I 
think, on Friday or Saturday.  I'm not sure if that's going to 
happen.  I just -- I just kind of -- it's going to work itself 
out during direct. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Well, make sure to bring that up to 
the Court, but I will keep that in mind as I instruct the jury 
on what to expect for the day.  
As I indicated on Friday, we will have the 90 minutes, 
although you're certainly not required to use that, for 
closing.  I hope to get to at least a portion of the closings, 
if not all of them, today, but it will depend on the length of

Mr. McCabe's testimony.  
At this point, Mr. McCabe, I'm going to swear you in to 
ask you some questions about your decision whether to testify 
in this matter.  
Ms. Alexander.  
COURTROOM DEPUTY:  Please raise your right hand to be 
sworn.  
Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony that 
you are about to give in this cause will be the truth, the 
whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God.  
THE DEFENDANT:  Yes. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Mr. McCabe, the decision whether to 
testify is an important one and I want to make sure that you 
have carefully thought through that decision.  Have you had 
enough time to consider that matter, Mr. McCabe?
THE DEFENDANT:  Yes, ma'am. 
THE COURT:  You can move the microphone closer to you 
so you don't have to lean in like that every time.  
Have you consulted with your attorney about your 
decision whether to testify?
THE DEFENDANT:  Yes, ma'am. 
THE COURT:  Do you need any more time to consult with 
your attorney regarding your decision to testify?
THE DEFENDANT:  No, ma'am. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Now, as skilled and as experienced

as your attorney is, ultimately this decision is your decision 
to make.  
Do you understand that, sir?
THE DEFENDANT:  Yes, ma'am. 
THE COURT:  And so having thought about whether to 
testify, what is your decision in this matter?
THE DEFENDANT:  I will testify.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  Now, have you made that decision 
knowingly and voluntarily?
THE DEFENDANT:  Yes. 
THE COURT:  Has anybody coerced you, harassed you, or 
pressured you in any way with respect to your decision about 
testifying?
THE DEFENDANT:  No, ma'am. 
THE COURT:  And is this a decision that you have 
personally made at the end of the day because you believe that 
this is the best decision for your case?
THE DEFENDANT:  Yes, ma'am. 
THE COURT:  All right then.  
Anything further with respect to the colloquy of 
Mr. McCabe, Mr. Keller?  
MR. KELLER:  Nothing as to that, Your Honor. 
THE COURT:  Mr. O'Sullivan?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Nothing for the defense, Your Honor. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  And, Mr. O'Sullivan, just to

confirm, you conferred with Mr. McCabe about his rights 
regarding testifying; correct?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  That's correct, Your Honor.  We 
conferred in person over the weekend at length. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Thank you.  
All right.  We are going to break briefly.  We are 
awaiting still four jurors.  So hang tight, use the facilities, 
if necessary, and we will resume as soon as possible.  
Thank you.  
(A recess was taken from 11:26 a.m. to 11:47 a.m.) 
THE COURT:  Be seated.  Everybody is here.  You may all 
be seated.  Let's call in the jury.  
COURT SECURITY OFFICER:  Yes, Your Honor.  
(The jury entered the courtroom at 11:47 a.m.) 
THE COURT:  Good morning.  Everyone may be seated.  
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you had a wonderful 
weekend.  We will resume trial in this case.  As you may 
recall, on Thursday the government rested its case in chief.  
So I will now turn it over to Mr. O'Sullivan.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Thank you, Your Honor.  At this time 
the defense calls Dustin Sean McCabe.  
THE COURT:  All right.  Thank you.  Mr. McCabe, please 
walk over to the witness stand, remain standing to be sworn in.  
COURTROOM DEPUTY:  Please raise your right hand to be 
sworn.

to make sure we can hear you.  Please begin.

DIRECT EXAMINATION 
BY MR. O'SULLIVAN:  
Q.
Good morning, Mr. McCabe.  
A.
Good morning. 
Q.
Can you introduce yourself to the jury.  
A.
Dustin Sean McCabe.  
Q.
Okay.  And, Mr. McCabe, can you give the jury a little 
background information about yourself.  
A.
Sure.  I grew up in east Tennessee.  I was -- I was married 
when I was in east Tennessee; I'm divorced now.  I -- when I 
was married, I adopted my three kids.  My oldest daughter, my 
youngest son are in the Air Force; the youngest daughter is at 
college. 
Q.
Okay.  And when did you move to Florida? 
A.
2000 -- or 1998. 
Q.
Okay.  And just briefly, how long have you been operating

and been around boats? 
A.
About 41 years.  
Q.
Okay.  And when did you obtain a Coast Guard license 
from -- in the state of Florida?  
A.
End of 2013 or sometime early 2014.  
Q.
Okay.  And why did you get a Coast Guard license?  
A.
To have a dive charter.  
Q.
Okay.  And prior to having the Southern Comfort, did you 
have a dive charter? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Could you tell the jury a little bit about that, the name 
of the boat and how the -- how the business ran? 
A.
So my boat name was Sea Scout.  It was an inspected vessel.  
It held 14 passengers.  We ran two trips Sunday, usually a 
Tuesday, Wednesday trip, a Friday trip, and then two trips on 
Saturday as well.  
Q.
And were those all ran out of South Florida? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And how long did you have the Sea Scout?  
A.
Up until 2020.  
Q.
Okay.  So moving to 2020, when did you start thinking about 
getting the Southern Comfort?  
A.
It had been a long time.  It -- middle of 2019.  I had 
devised the idea because all of the charters in the area 
were -- it was kind of a price war where everybody just kept

discounting the price.  So I thought if I offered more of a 
concierge, more of a luxury-type trip, then I would be 
different than -- than all of the rest.  All of the other 
charters are -- they all do the same thing.  
And so I wanted a bigger boat, a faster boat, something 
that was nicer so I could also take trips -- it's two hours 
from Lake Worth to the Bahamas, so we could also take trips to 
there. 
Q.
And is that where the idea was born to get the Southern 
Comfort? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And that's not a typical dive boat, is it? 
A.
You can -- you can dive from any boat.  And so it 
was -- the boat was normally built -- not really built but 
the normal -- it was set up for fishing, for saltwater fishing, 
a sport fish boat.  But you can dive from any boat.  There are 
a couple three other boats in the area that are sport fish 
boats that are -- that are actually used as dive charters. 
Q.
Do you recall the names of those sport fish boats that are 
used as dive charters? 
A.
One of them is Deep Obsession; I think it's almost 60 feet 
long.  And it's used as overnight dive boat that does local 
trips as well.  And mostly they go to Bahamas and -- which they 
don't do it very often. 
Q.
Okay.  And when did you actually purchase the Southern

Comfort? 
A.
Toward the end of February of 2020.  
Q.
Okay.  What did you do once you got physical possession of 
the Southern Comfort?  
A.
So in March of 2020, the first part of March, end of 
February is when I separated from my now ex-wife; so I was 
living on the boat while my condo was being finished.  It was a 
new building so they were finishing trim and painting and stuff 
like that.  So I would stay on the boat.  I was just tinkering 
around, improving some stuff and getting it set up to be -- to 
be what it was. 
Q.
Can I just ask you just to slow down a little bit, just so 
the recording can be accurate.  
A.
Sure.  
Q.
When you moved onto the boat, can you give the jury some 
specifics as to, you know, what modifications or upgrades you 
made on the boat? 
A.
Okay.  So in the salon, which is inside the cabin, I 
upgraded to granite countertops.  I redid the shade in 
the -- the shade in the forward part of the salon.  I redid 
flooring.  I added galley equipment, as far as a different -- 
basically I had a stove and an oven, and I added a cooler for 
drinks for the divers.  Obviously, new furniture.  We upgraded 
the latches, things like that, new flooring.  
Q.
As far as diver-specific upgrades and modifications, like

on the transom and the cockpit, can you tell the jury what you 
did? 
A.
So when I went out to the cockpit, we upgraded the cooler 
system on the live wells.  So any lobster, any fish that were 
caught or shot, we could make sure that they were kept fresh 
and cold.  And then I added the dive benches.  I upgraded the 
swim platform.  It already had a swim platform on it, but I 
upgraded it to a bigger one that was much more durable, and 
added the railing system underneath it that had handrails for 
people to hold on to as they were -- as they were taking off 
their fins to reboard the boat. 
Q.
Did you do these upgrades yourself or did you have the 
assistance of someone else? 
A.
I did them myself. 
Q.
Okay.  How did you know how to do all these upgrades? 
A.
I have been working on boats for 40 years.  And if there 
was something that I didn't know how to do, I would call and 
I -- sometimes I even went to -- went to -- went to places that 
did these upgrades and asked, Okay, how do I do this?  
And, you know, you can learn anything on YouTube.  You 
can -- ask questions of other captains, how -- you know, How 
did you set up your, you know, your platform and the support 
system under it?  And -- but it was just knowledge that I 
already -- mostly that I already had. 
Q.
When you took physical possession of the Southern Comfort,

in February of 2020, how many sets of engine controls were on 
that vessel?  
A.
There were two controls. 
Q.
Okay.  And at some point did -- was that reduced?  
A.
Yes.  I removed the lower helm for -- mainly for a safety 
purpose. 
Q.
Can you explain, why would you remove the engine controls 
on the lower helm? 
A.
So from the flybridge, there were controls; and that was 
the only place I wanted to be able to control the boat.  So if 
there is -- if there is a helm station at the -- on the 
cockpit, that allows a customer who might not know what it is, 
Oh, I want to see what these levers do, and they could move 
them, and that would -- that would control the boat.  You can't 
turn them off.  And so they're either there or they're not 
there.  
So it was a safety feature to keep people from -- maybe 
they didn't do it on purpose, maybe the -- a wave hit the boat 
and they weren't ready for it and they stumbled into it and hit 
that.  So I wanted to be -- the only way to control the vessel 
was from the flybridge, where I was. 
Q.
Are the controls on the flybridge and the controls on the 
helm, are they connected or are they two separate systems? 
A.
No, they're two totally separate system.  One doesn't have 
anything to do with the other.

Q.
Okay.  And you removed the helm controls? 
A.
Yes.  The actual levers are just bolted onto fiberglass 
where the helm is, and there are cables that run through 
the -- through the salon, you know, under the flooring and down 
into the engine room, and they connect to a lever on the 
transmission. 
Q.
Did you remove the cables from the helm controls? 
A.
From the helm controls, I totally removed them from the 
vessel --
Q.
So you removed both the levers --
A.
-- yes. 
Q.
-- or the throttle controls and the cables? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And can you explain to the jury a little bit the difference 
between a cable system and an electric system? 
A.
So a cable system is -- it's as basic as you can get.  
There is -- it's old-school.  That's what I like because there 
is nothing to break.  Electronics and saltwater don't mix.  And 
so the more electronics you have on the boat, the more likely 
that something is going to break.  And so I liked the 
old-school stuff.  
If -- if you tied two cables -- two strings to a door, and 
you pull on one string, it's going to shut the door.  You open 
the door again and pull on the other string, it's going to shut 
the door.  You untie one of those strings, it doesn't affect

the other one; that string is still going to shut the door.  
That's how they operate.  They're that simple.  
It's simply you push the forward -- you push the -- the 
lever forward and it puts the boat in forward, and the boat 
goes forward.  You pull it back into reverse, and it puts it 
into reverse and the boat goes backwards.  It's as simple as it 
gets. 
Q.
Did you have any issues in the removal of the helm 
controls? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Okay.  So now, once you get possession of the boat, you 
make these modifications and upgrades, do you take the boat out 
for sea trials? 
A.
Yes.  We took it out three times with my crew. 
Q.
When you say "we," let's go through -- 
A.
Oh, me and my crew. 
Q.
Okay.  So how many people are on the crew? 
A.
So I have five people on the crew.  Only two of the other 
crew, myself, and two other crew are on the boat at one time.  
And -- 
Q.
So just tell the jury about how the sea trials went, what 
you were looking for and -- well, let's back up.  What is a sea 
trial? 
A.
So a sea trial is basically a test drive.  
Q.
Okay.

A.
Just like you would in your -- in a car, you know, after 
your -- after a mechanic fixes your car, he goes and drives it 
to make sure that it's not doing what you brought it there to 
have repaired. 
Q.
Okay.  
A.
So that -- that's basically what we did, is we went and we 
drove the boat around.  We threw buoys overboard, and, okay, 
that's a diver, let's -- let's pick it up.  So then we would 
back up -- you know, back up the boat to the diver and 
practice.  This is what we do.  This is how we do it.  
And we did it -- the same process that we did on Sea Scout.  
It was just a little bit bigger boat.  But it was the exact 
same process that we had been doing for, you know, six, 
seven years.  
Q.
Did you take -- for sea trials, do you go in the 
Intracoastal or do you go out to the ocean as well? 
A.
Both. 
Q.
Okay.  And how many times did you do the sea trials with 
the crew?  
A.
I took the crew out three times.  And then I did six or 
seven sea trials on my own. 
Q.
Okay.  And what was your feeling about how -- the operation 
of the boat after these, approximately, ten sea trials? 
A.
They -- everything was like it was supposed to be.  There 
were going to be latches and hinges and things like that

that -- that need to be replaced and just -- to be upgraded to 
a little more durable stuff, but the -- the overall vessel did 
exactly what it was supposed to do. 
Q.
So at some point in March 2020, did you take out paying 
customers on a dive trip? 
A.
Yeah, we -- our first trip was on the 27th.  On the Friday, 
I took Jen Hester and one of her friends out.  We -- typical 
dive trip.  We drove down the Intracoastal.  About 22 knots, 
heading down the Intracoastal, we get -- go under Blue Heron, 
make a left, go to -- a couple hundred yards, make a right, go 
in front of Sailfish Marina and out the inlet. 
Q.
Okay.  I should have asked you this earlier, but how long 
have you been certified or qualified to instruct people in 
scuba diving?  
A.
14, 15 years.  
Q.
Okay.  Is there anything that you tell your customers 
that's kind of part of your regular business prior to a dive 
trip, once they're on the boat? 
A.
Yes.  So when the customers arrive, the crew loads their 
boats -- loads their gear onto the boat.  We -- you know, 
usually we're -- I'm hanging out, talking to them, that just 
kind of chitchat, just getting to know them and that sort of 
stuff.  
So after everybody is on the boat and we're almost ready to 
go, I come down and give my safety briefing, and this is where

we're going, this is kind of what we're going to do, and this 
is how to do it.  And then we untie the boat and leave.  
Q.
Okay.  Can you tell the jury that safety briefing?  
A.
Yeah.  I have done it so many times.  So I would -- I would 
come down:  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.  Everything 
that is required to be on board this vessel is on board and 
located in the salon.  In the aft part of the salon, you will 
see a built-in cabinet with a first aid marker on it, inside 
there, there is two O2 bottles and there is an EMT-quality 
first aid kit.  
We dive very close to the Gulf Stream.  The boat will be 
adrift while we're diving.  I do put a crew in the water to 
guide you; they will be carrying that buoy right over there.  
You're welcome to dive with them and follow them along, or you 
can dive on your own.
The maximum time limit for this dive is 50 minutes or 500 
PSI, whichever happens to come first.  Safety markers are 
required in these waters.  Please mark yourself before you get 
to the surface, whether you launch a marker from the bottom or 
launch your marker from your safety stop.  
If, while you're on the surface, another vessel looks like 
it's coming towards you or that it doesn't see you, please let 
go of your safety marker and descend down to 10 feet to make 
sure that the boat could go over you without hitting you.  
Once you are on the bottom, hands, fins, gear, off of the

reef, please, do not touch turtles.  Enter the water on "dive, 
dive, dive" only.  
Q.
Do you do that prior to every single dive? 
A.
Every single trip, yes.  
Q.
Okay.  And you did that on the 27th? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Did you do that on the 28th and the 29th as well? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  So now I want to bring your attention to March 28th.  
A.
Okay.  
Q.
Tell me what happened that morning.  
A.
So I got up on the -- I got -- I was on the boat working at 
6:00 or so, doing my engine checks and getting everything 
prepared for the dive, early that morning.  So your engine 
checks, you're just going over everything, I'm checking the 
oil, checking both engines, the genset.  I'm going through 
checking the impellers.  I'm -- 
Q.
What's -- what's a genset? 
A.
Just a generator that creates power for the rest of the 
boat, so the boat has lights, like in here.  And where a 
building gets power through the electric system, a boat needs a 
generator in order to do that, so a genset is the generator.  
So you're checking all of the -- all the electrical 
connections, everything like that through the -- through the 
motors, through the genset.  You're looking at, is the

transmission fluid right?  Is the oil right?  Is -- did you 
drain the water out of the Racors, check your impellers.
And then I go up to the helm and I check all of my 
electronics, to make sure that they're working properly.  I 
check the weather to see conditions.  And about that time, 
I'm -- the crew starts to arrive.  Tell the crew where they're 
going to go, you know, as far as the dive site, so they can 
start getting prepared for -- they know the dive sites as well 
as I do -- so that they can get prepared.  And then the -- then 
the customers start arriving. 
Q.
So you're doing these checks between like 0600 and 0800 in 
the morning?  
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  On this date, were any red flags raised after you 
did these -- all these tests or checks? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Okay.  And about what time did the divers start to show up?  
A.
About 8:00.  8:00, 7:45, 8:00, they start to arrive.  We 
load their boat -- load their gear onto the boat.  On the dive 
benches, there is bungee cords that you bungee their tank in so 
it doesn't fall off and dent the floor or hurt their gear.  And 
so you bungee their tanks in, put their gear underneath the 
benches.  And as soon as everybody is on board and everybody 
has a waiver signed, we head out. 
Q.
Okay.  Can you just tell the jury, where do you go?  How

long does it take to get there?  
A.
So when I leave the marina, it's -- you know, it's -- we're 
going down the Intracoastal.  Depending on traffic, if there is 
a lot of traffic, we're not going as fast.  If there is no 
traffic, we're going a lot faster.  
So normally, if there is no traffic there, I'm going about 
20, 22 knots.  We get out of the dive site.  And it just 
depends on where we go.  I have gone -- the Jupiter is about 
2 1/2 miles to the reefs up in Jupiter from the inlet.  There 
is reefs off of Mar-a-Lago that we can go down and dive to.  So 
anywhere between, you know, say Mar-a-Lago and mid-part of 
Jupiter Island there, we can go anywhere that -- anywhere in 
between there, just depends on where the other dive boats are 
at, who is on board.  
I keep a captain's log that I write down everything that I 
have done, everything that I do, and the -- I even keep the 
manifest in there so I can make sure that I don't take the same 
people to the same reefs over and over again.  
Q.
Do you recall, on the Saturday dive, March 28th, do you 
recall what dive site you went to? 
A.
Saturday we went to -- in the morning it was a reef -- I 
think the second dive was off of Rybovich.  The first dive was 
just a little offshore of the Governor's River Walk, which is 
a -- which is a wreck system.  But we were on a reef out there 
because we had mostly people who were looking to catch lobster

and hunt fish. 
Q.
Just, generally speaking, or exact, if you know, how far 
offshore are these dive sites? 
A.
Some -- some of them, there is -- there is a couple that 
are really close, but most of them are a couple of miles 
offshore. 
Q.
Like 2 miles offshore? 
A.
Yeah.  A mile to 2 miles, 2 1/2, somewhere in there. 
Q.
So on the 28th, there was actually two dives?
A.
Yes. 
Q.
A morning and an afternoon dive? 
A.
Yes.  There was a morning dive that we went on that had 
each -- that trip had two dives as well.  And then we had a PM 
dive trip that started at 2:00.  
Q.
Okay.  We're going to talk about them separately.  
And, again, I want to remind you to kind of slow down just 
so that the court reporter --
A.
Sure. 
Q.
-- can accurately get everything.
Now, Jen Hester testified about an incident that happened 
on Saturday the 28th.  Was that on the morning dive? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  And, just to be clear, when I say AM and PM dive, 
those are two separate groups of people? 
A.
Yes, two separate groups of people.

MR. KELLER:  Objection, Judge.  Leading.  
THE COURT:  Overruled.  Please continue.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:
Q.
I want to talk a little bit about the morning dive.  We'll 
call it dive 1, AM dive 1.  Do you recall who the crew was that 
day? 
A.
I believe it was Kay and Siri were the two crew that day. 
Q.
Okay.  Was Ms. -- anyone else -- who were the divers? 
A.
Judy Gallahart and her husband; Dave Anderson was on the 
boat -- no, Dave was on -- wasn't on Saturday.  Jen Hester was 
on the boat.  The -- I don't remember all of them.  
Q.
So tell me how that dive went.  
A.
So that dive was pretty typical.  The only thing that was 
odd that day is, as I left the inlet, the voltage meter on my 
starboard side, which is the right -- which is the right side 
engine, was kind of bouncing up and down, up and down.  And so 
in order to -- just precaution, I shut the whole starboard side 
down. 
Q.
What is a voltage meter?  What's the purpose of that?  What 
does it do? 
A.
Same thing in your car.  Just tells you what the battery is

doing as far as sending the voltage to the motor. 
Q.

starboard engine? 
A.
Yeah. 
Q.
How does the boat operate with just a port side engine? 
A.
The same. 
Q.
Okay.  
A.
I just can't go 20 knots.  I -- you know, it slows me down 
to 16, 17, somewhere around in there, if I -- if I'm at full 
throttle.  
Q.
Okay.  So how long did the AM, dive 1, last minute-wise?  
A.
So dive 1 was 50 minutes -- or, you know, it was all the 
same, 50 minutes, 500 PSI. 
Q.
Okay.  And what are you doing when the divers are 
underwater for that 45 minutes? 
A.
So once I call "dive, dive, dive" in the water -- and the 
divers get in the water, I'm at the helm.  Usually one of the 
crew is in the water, guiding the divers.  And then the other 
one is up on the helm with me; we are looking for surface 
markers. 
Q.
Okay.  And then as the first diver starts to ascend, what's 
your protocol?  What do you do?  
A.
So while we're -- if there is a divemaster in the water, 
they are carrying a buoy.  A divemaster -- if there is a 
divemaster in the water, they're carrying a buoy.  So I'm kind

of hanging out around the buoy as far as the boat goes.  And if 
there happens to not be a divemaster in the water, then I can 
see their bubbles from the helm.  So I hang around the bubbles 
until the surface marker comes up.
When the surface marker comes up, I get 30, 40 yards away 
from it, and depends on what the seas are doing, or where the 
traffic is.  So I won't -- I want my boat to be fairly close, 
you know, 30, 40 yards away from that marker, to ensure that 
other boaters stay away, and so -- while that person is -- is 
surfacing.
So when they get to the surface, you know, you 
are -- you're worried about, Okay, I just got to the surface -- 
they're not cognizant of what is -- of -- you know, maybe a 
boat is coming from behind them and that sort of thing.  So 
it's more of a protection for the divers that I put the boat 
where they are.  Once they hit the surface, they give me the 
okay symbol, and --

I want to stop you just for a second because I'm going to

Q.
Okay.  When you say "the helm," can you just point to where 
the helm is? 
A.
Okay.  So the helm is anywhere up here on the flybridge.  
This is the helm right there.  
Q.
I think it's a touchscreen, so you can probably -- 
A.
Yeah, it won't let me draw on it.  
Q.
Well, just -- 
THE COURT:  Hold on.  Hold on.  Hold on, sir.  You 
should be able to touch the screen and activate the pencil 
feature.
Ms. Alexander, can you assist the witness, please.  
All right.  Well, we will rectify this at the next 
available break.  But for now, let's go without the feature and 
you can either use a demonstrative, as -- as you indicated 
later, or otherwise reframe your questions.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Yes, ma'am.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:
Q.
Mr. McCabe, again, I'm just going to ask that both of us 
slow down a little bit --
A.
Okay. 
Q.
-- just so the court reporter can get everything 
accurately.  
A.
Okay.
So the helm -- 
Q.
Let me ask the question.

A.
Okay. 
Q.
Just describe what part of the boat is the helm.  I see 
three seats up there.  
A.
Okay.  So the helm is at the -- at the very top, underneath 
the canopy there.  There is three seats.  The helm is actually 
located in the middle one.  And so that's where the controls 
are.  
Q.
Do you still have your picture?  Oh, it's back.  
A.
Now it's back.  
So the controls are in the middle seat.  So that's where I 
am at when I'm controlling the vessel.  
Q.
Okay.  So when the diver first -- when the divers first 
ascend or come to the surface from their dive --
A.
Uh-huh. 
Q.
-- what position of that -- of that flybridge, which is the 
top of the boat, where are you at? 
A.
Okay.  So I'm in the middle seat and I'm moving the boat 
into position to pick them up.  Once I get into the position to 
pick them up, I -- I get them where I want them as far as their 
position behind the boat.  I call "clear" to the crew to let 
them know that the boat is -- is ready for them to communicate 
with the divers to come get on board.  
And then I walk all the way to the left-hand side, over as 
far as I can go, to the rail, and on the back of the boat -- on 
the stern side of that seat -- that's over there -- and I stand

there until the crew tells me that the boat is clear. 
Q.
Why do you walk from the middle seat, where the controls 
are, to the left or port side of the boat? 
A.
Just like I removed the lower helm, I don't want a wave to 
trip me or something happen and knock me into the controls 
while there is somebody trying to get on the vessel.  So it's a 
safety feature.  And plus, there is -- there is two spots on a 
vessel that I cannot see, and that's directly below where I'm 
at on the mid-ship side of the port and starboard side.  
So if you can see the tuna door there, where the ladder is 
and everything, the -- the crew is on the starboard side.  So 
that's why I go to the port side.  Before -- the last thing 
that they do before they tell me that it -- that the platform 
and the -- that the ladder are clear, is they look down the 
starboard side at the waterline to make sure a diver hasn't 
come up mid-ship, thinking they're under water, oh, the boat is 
right above me.  I will just come up there.  
And then once they tell me it's clear, I look down the port 
side at the waterline to make sure there is no diver there, and 
then I go back to the helm. 
Q.
So you are looking at the port side and the crew is looking 
at the starboard side? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  With respect to Ms. Hester on that first dive, did 
anything unusual happen?

A.
So she came up and grabbed the handrail on the port side, 
over on the -- on the picture there, if you -- just about where 
the "S" is in the name of the vessel.  And as she was 
getting -- she always dives with a ton of gear, and so as 
she's -- 
Q.
You say a "ton of gear."  Could you elaborate for the jury, 
please? 
A.
She has her spear gun, she has a pole spear, she has a huge 
PVC container that's about 2 1/2 feet long to hold lionfish.  
She has a stringer with any fish that she shoots.  She has a 
bag attached to her to put lobster in.  And so all of this 
stuff is attached to her while she's diving.  
And so the first thing that she wants to hand up is her 
gun.  It's on a rope.  Her gun sinks, so it points down while 
she's coming to the surface, is where the -- where the tip of 
the shaft is.  
Q.
Are you able to see that from your vantage point up above 
on that flybridge? 
A.
Yeah. 
Q.
How many feet up is that flybridge, do you think, from the 
water's surface? 
A.
Oh, I'm standing 15 feet or so.  I mean, if you think of a 
normal ceiling, the salon ceiling is 8 1/2 feet, 7 -- 7 1/2 to 
8 1/2 feet. 
Q.
So you are up pretty high and your vantage point is --

A.
Yeah. 
Q.
Are you able to see the divers getting in the boat and what 
is going on? 
A.
I can see the platform.  I can't see right up against the 
platform in the transom, but I can see the platform where the 
divers are holding on.  
Q.
Okay.  With respect to Ms. Hester getting back on board the 
boat, can you tell me what you saw?  
A.
So as she was getting back on board the boat, the first 
thing that she wants to do is hand up her gun.  So her gun is 
attached to her with a fairly long rope.  And so when she's 
coming to the surface, when she's vertical, the gun is actually 
hanging below her feet.  And so she has to pull the rope up, 
and as she's pulling the rope up, she gets her gun caught 
between the transom and swim platform. 
Q.
Can you just define the transom again for the jury in 
case -- 
A.
So the transom is basically the back wall of the boat.  
Q.
Is that where it says the word "Southern Comfort"? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  
A.
And so -- but you have to remember, that goes -- that's 
also -- it goes under the waterline.  And so the transom is the 
whole back and -- and so in between that platform and where the 
transom is, she gets her gun caught there.

How are you familiar with spear guns? 
A.
I spearfish.  
Q.
And how long have you been spearfishing? 
A.
41 years.  
Q.
Okay.  Are spear guns indestructible? 
A.
No. 
Q.
What, if anything, would make a shaft of a spear gun bend?  
A.
Tons of things could make -- I can bend the shaft of a 
spear gun with my hands.  They're not that -- they're not that 
durable.  If I miss a fish and I hit the reef, it can bend 
the -- it can bend a shaft.  If I shoot a big enough fish and 
it starts thrashing around, it can bend the shaft.  
Q.
Okay.  Well, was Ms. Hester ultimately successfully able to 
get back aboard the vessel? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  
A.
And so her -- her gun was trapped.  The boat went down a 
wave, she was still on top of the wave, it kind of moved her 
out to the side of the port side.  It bent the shaft on 
her -- on her gun, but she was -- she got back on boat safely.  
Q.
I should have asked you this a little bit earlier to be 
more chronological, but what were the conditions that morning 
on March 28th, Saturday, March 28th?

A.
So they were, as I was going out, when I get to the -- when 
I get to the dive site to come downstairs, down to the cockpit, 
and I give them a dive briefing of "this is how deep the water 
is, this is how fast the current is moving, this is the -- the 
water temperature," things like that, so that day the seas were 
3 to 4 feet, wind was about 10 knots, and the current was a 
knot and a half, 2 knots. 
Q.
Okay.  
Okay.  So how long did you generally wait between the two 
morning dives?  
A.
It's anywhere from 50 minutes to an hour.  
Q.
Okay.  And on that date, did you wait the -- the requisite 
50 minutes? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Did all of the divers who did dive 1 in the AM, did they 
also do a second dive in the AM? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  Just briefly tell the jury how that dive went.  
A.
That dive went perfect.  It was -- there were no issues.  
Divers, after about 45 minutes, I tell them they have got 
10 minutes.  So they start -- most of them, as soon as they get 
back on board, they move their gear from one tank to their 
second tank, and -- but then they start gearing up when I tell 
them they've got 10 minutes.  They start getting their gear on, 
cleaning their mask, and getting things ready.

And then they get geared up.  And I tell them they have got 
two minutes and the crew gets them off the dive benches and 
lines them up on the platform and through the cockpit.  And 
then when it's -- the boat is in position, and I call "dive, 
dive, dive," they jump in the water. 
Q.
Okay.  
A.
So on that particular dive, they got in the water.  
They -- they went down, they saw some cool stuff.  They caught 
some lobster, shot some fish, and come back to the boat. 
Q.
Anything unusual happen on that dive? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Okay.  So now I'm going to republish for the jury what's 
previously been entered as Government's Exhibit 1.  
A.
Okay.  
Q.
So, Mr. McCabe, I want -- Mr. McCabe, I want to direct your 
attention to returning to the inlet after dive 2, the Saturday 
morning dive.  
A.
Okay. 
Q.
Anything unusual happen? 
A.
So as I was returning from the inlet, I happened to call my 
mechanic, John, and told him, "Hey, the voltage meter is 
bouncing around."  And he said, "I'm not doing anything, so I 
will -- I will come to the -- to the marina."  
Q.
Okay.  Why did you want him to come to the marina? 
A.
Just to check it out in between trips and see what was

going on because I preferred to use both engines.  I mean, 
it's -- the boat is perfectly fine with one, but I prefer to 
use them both. 
Q.
So on the return trip, are you still just running the one 
engine? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  
A.
Yeah, the whole trip I only ran the port side.  After I got 
through the inlet, and was in the no-wake zone around Sailfish 
and Peanut Island there, I called Jordan McKenna at the marina 
and told him that I needed the floating dock free. 
Q.
Okay.  What's the floating dock? 
A.
The floating dock is the -- 
Q.
If you can refer to the exhibit.  
A.
So on the exhibit, if you see Safe Harbor North Palm Beach 
Marina, there in the, kind of, the middle left -- if you want 
to increase the size.  The floating dock is actually a dock 
that moves up and down with the tide.  And so it is just to 
the -- it is just to the right of the actual marina building.  
And -- 
THE COURT:  Mr. McCabe, you can use your finger to 
indicate anything you wish to on this document, and then 
counsel will indicate on the record what you are doing.  So go 
ahead, if you wish, and you can use your hand to point out 
anything in your testimony.

THE WITNESS:  So if you look -- if you look where it 
says North Palm Beach -- Safe Harbor North Palm Beach, and you 
see the big green circle, just to the -- just to the right of 
that there is a seawall.  And you see a little -- a 90-degree 
turn, that's the floating dock right there. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:
Q.
I am going to put my pen where that is.  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And that's toward the upper left-hand side -- 
A.
A little bit lower.  A little bit -- but, yeah, right 
there; that's where the floating dock is. 
Q.
What is a floating dock, the purpose of it? 
A.
And so it goes up and down with the tide.  It's used as a 
fuel dock as well.  So that's where most of the -- that's 
where -- there is one fuel pump on the other side, on the 
seawall.  But that's where most of the fuel pumps are. 
Q.
Okay.  Why did you call Dockmaster McKenna to ask that that 
floating dock be clear? 
A.
So at that time of day -- I was in the incoming tide. 
Q.
What's an incoming tide mean? 
A.
So that means the tide is coming in from offshore and 
it -- in this particular instance, it would have been moving 
from the lower right of your screen toward the -- toward the 
marina in the upper left.  
Q.
So it's kind of like pushing with you?

Q.
Okay.  So -- 
A.
And so that's where the -- there is more water coming in 
from offshore.  The gravity from the moon pulls the water in.  
Q.
Okay.  So just tell me about as you're coming in from, say, 
passing the word "Old Port Cove," as we're coming in this way, 
just tell me what's going on with you and the boat.  
A.
Okay.  So because I only have the -- the port side engine 
operating, and I don't keep dock lines on the boat -- 
Q.
But -- just stop there for a second.  What are the dock 
lines? 
A.
So the dock lines are what tie the boat up when we get back 
to our slip. 
Q.
Okay.  And those dock lines, they can either be on the boat 
or on the wooden -- 
A.
They can be -- 
Q.
-- poles in water? 
A.
Right.  So they can be on the boat or on the dock and the 
mooring poles.  So I keep them on the dock.  
Q.
Why?  
A.
I -- because they're specific lengths, and I -- it's -- my 
slip is -- is almost as wide as the -- it is just barely wider 
than the boat.  And so, as I'm coming in, I -- the crew just 
grabs them with a dock hook and then puts them on the -- on the 
cleats because they're the right length.

If I kept them on the boat, then the crew would have to get 
off of the boat while it's still moving, get on the dock and 
tie them up that way.  
Q.
So is it a convenience and a safety feature to -- 
A.
It's a -- 
Q.
-- to get them on the -- 
A.
Yeah, it's a safety feature and a convenience.  And with 
the dock -- with the dock lines on the boat, you run the risk 
of one of them coming loose and then fouling the props or 
something like that.  So I just leave them on the dock.  It's 
just how I've always done it.  It's not right one way or the 
other; it's however you prefer. 
Q.
Okay.  
A.
So as I'm coming in with an incoming tide, the North Palm 
Beach police boat was on the floating dock. 
Q.
And you are coming this way?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Which is -- I'm just -- on the exhibit, it's from the right 
side to the left side, heading toward the Parker Bridge from 
the ocean.  
Tell me what happens next.  
A.
So I get -- I get where I can see the floating dock, and I 
see the police boat is still on there.  And so Jordan is out on 
the -- he is out on the seawall, motioning me for -- motioning 
to me to dock on the seawall.  I tell him I can't.  He is,

obviously, not in the building, so I can't call him on the 
phone or call him on the radio, so I have to, like, scream at 
him. 
Q.
Why didn't you want to dock on the seawall? 
A.
I can't.  I would be going too fast with the tide.  And 
without dock lines -- so if I had dock lines on the boat, you 
could have thrown them to the -- to Jordan and he could have -- 
you had a lot of slack in it and cleated the boat off and it 
would -- the line would have stopped it.  But because I didn't 
have dock lines on the boat, he would have had to throw the 
crew a line, and they basically would have had to hold on to 
the line until the boat stopped.  That's just going to tear up 
their hands, it's not very safe.  You can break fingers and 
stuff that way. 
Q.
And you had it -- you testified that you had an incoming 
tide pushing you from -- 
A.
I had an incoming tide so -- 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Hold on.  It's important that we 
don't talk over one another. 
THE WITNESS:  Oh, okay, sorry. 
THE COURT:  So let counsel finish his question --
THE WITNESS:  Okay. 
THE COURT:  -- and then answer. 
THE WITNESS:  I'm sorry.

BY MR. O'SULLIVAN:  
Q.
Okay.  So once you made the determination that I'm not 
going to dock on the seawall, what happened next?  
A.
So I swung the boat out toward the top of the screen there, 
and then made a little turn to the -- to the south that would 
be more toward -- where it says Safe Harbor.  Once I got past 
the seawall and outside of the channel, outside of the main 
channel, I dropped the anchor.  And once the anchor caught, of 
course, the tide is going to the north, so it swung the boat 
around so the stern was facing the U.S. 1.  
Q.
Now, I'm going to switch momentarily from Government's 
Exhibit 1 to what's previously been marked or entered as 
Government's Exhibit 31.  
Do you recognize that, Mr. McCabe? 
A.
Yes, that's my helm.  
Q.
Okay.  And I want you to focus on the Coca-Cola can.  
A.
Yes. 
Q.
What is that black switch to the right of the Coca-Cola 
can? 
A.
That's my windlass. 
Q.
Can you explain to the jury what a windlass is? 
A.
So in marine stuff, a windlass is basically a wench.  And 
so that's what controls my anchor.  The wench pulls the anchor 
up -- up out of the -- out of the water, or it drops it down 
into the water.

Q.
So you don't have to physically walk to the front of the 
boat and throw anchor? 
A.
No.  I did have to in Sea Scout.  We had to go to 
the -- there was a -- there was a chock out there that was just 
a big square block, and that's what it was tied off to.  And 
then there was a port that the line went down into the v-berth.  
And so we literally had to go out there, untie it and, by hand, 
drop it down into the water.  On this particular vessel, it was 
all electric.  
Q.
Okay.  I'm going to put back what's been previously entered 
as Government's Exhibit 1.  So when you dropped the anchor, 
does the anchor -- does it rest in the channel or does it rest 
outside the navigable channel? 
A.
No, so that's why I turned it a little to the left and got 
myself outside of the navigable channel, because I didn't want 
to hold up traffic.  And I dropped the anchor.  And then the 
boat swung around, right where -- kind of where the -- kind of 
where those -- there was a little sandbar in the mangroves 
there. 
Q.
And when we are talking about the little -- the little 
sandbar in the mangroves, is that just north of or to the top 
of where it says "Safe Harbor"? 
A.
Yeah, so, if you see the word "Safe," and then you see the 
little -- the condo building right there, the little green 
above that is where the mangroves are, and I was right there.

Q.
Is that where I'm pointing right now (indicating)? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And this is just to the right of the U.S. 1 Parker Bridge? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Tell me what happens when -- when you drop the anchor and 
what happens with the boat.  
A.
The boat just stops.  And so, because the incoming tide, 
the anchor was to my south -- southeast, and the stern was 
facing Parker Bridge there.  And the boat just stops.  And so 
we were just floating there, waiting on the police boat to get 
moved. 
Q.
Okay.  You testified a few minutes ago that you called John 
Miller to meet you at the marina? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
At some point did he get on the vessel? 
A.
Yes.  So he was standing there on the grass, when we got 
there, when I dropped the anchor.  He waded out and hopped on 
the boat. 
Q.
Okay.  What did he do?  
A.
Basically he went down into the -- into the engine room to 
figure out why the voltage meter was bouncing, and saw that one 
of the battery terminal nuts was loose.  And so that wire was 
bouncing up and down in the seas, and causing the voltage to do 
that.  And so all he did was tighten the nut. 
Q.
Okay.  And then did you operate both engines after that?

Yeah, then we cranked up both engines and went to the -- or 
went to the fuel -- the floating dock. 
Q.
Okay.  And then did -- 
A.
The police boat had been moved. 
Q.
Did you dock the boat? 
A.
Yeah. 
Q.
Okay.  And then what happened with the morning divers after 
that?  
A.
So the divers got off the boat.  They all got into their 
cars and left.  And then John and I moved the boat to my slip.  
Q.
Okay.  Using how many engines? 
A.
Using them both. 
Q.
Okay.  Why didn't you report that incident to the 
Coast Guard?  
A.
So, according to the Coast Guard regulations, if the boat 
is grounded, then you -- intentionally or unintentionally, 
you're supposed to report that.  But because the boat wasn't 
grounded, the boat was on anchor, then there was nothing for me 
to report.  I don't have to report if I anchor the boat. 
Q.
Was there any damage to the boat? 
A.
No. 
Q.
Did you have to call a towboat to help get you out of that 
situation? 
A.
No. 
Q.
Okay.

A.
As a matter of fact, when I was pulling up the anchor, John 
was standing -- we were in 4 feet of water, maybe a little 
more.  John was standing there with his hands on the transom, 
just to make sure that the tide didn't push me into the -- into 
the mangroves.  So we were in enough water that he was able to 
push the boat without -- 
Q.
Okay.  So now I want to direct your attention -- you said 
that you go back to your slip.  The morning divers are gone.  
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Do you have another dive trip scheduled for that afternoon? 
A.
Yeah, about an hour and a half or so later.  
Q.
What did you do in that hour and a half? 
A.
So John and I went down into the engine rooms and we 
checked hose clamps, nuts, bolts, cables.  We checked 
everything that we could possibly think of that might come 
loose during the -- during the dive.  And then we also -- about 
that time is when Jen Hester texted me that -- where she 
thought the port side was engaging and disengaging while we 
were out off of -- offshore -- 
Q.
Based upon that -- based upon that text that we saw last 
week, was there anything specific that you did? 
A.
Yeah.  So once I got that text message, John and I -- we 
were -- obviously, we had the engine hatches open.  So the 
little photo that the -- that they showed you, which is the 
small one, that wasn't the engine hatch.  Half of the salon

floor came -- was a hatch that came open; so I could see the 
entire engine standing up there.  
So we opened the port side -- actually, they were both 
open -- and I cranked on the port side motor, and we stood 
there and watched it for half hour, 45 minutes, and nothing 
moved.  
Q.
What are you looking for when you are looking at it for a 
half hour to 45 minutes? 
A.
So the prop is connected to the shaft.  The shaft moves 
through the hull and connects to the transmission.  So if the 
prop moves, if it's engaging and disengaging like she thought, 
the shaft inside of the engine compartment would move; I would 
be able to see it.  You don't do that offshore because the 
boat -- because the prop windmills and spins, but in the marina 
there is no water movement.  And so there is nothing in the 
marina to make the boat -- to make the prop spin.  
And so we sat there for 30, 45 minutes watching it, and it 
didn't move.  So then we loosened the dock lines.  I went up to 
the helm.  I put the boat in forward, I put the boat in 
reverse, four, five, six times, and then we went back down, 
with the engine still running and in neutral, to see if I can 
make it happen again.  And -- 
Q.
Were you able to make it happen? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Okay.  At some point, then, on Saturday afternoon, does a

second round of new divers come? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And without going into great detail, just generally, how 
did those two dives go on that Saturday PM trip? 
A.
Safety briefing, leave the dock, down the Intracoastal.  We 
went to -- Governor's River Walk, was the first one, and I 
think we went to -- Rybovich was Dive Number 2.  And everybody 
got off the boat, saw some cool stuff, caught some lobster, got 
back on the boat.  We back to the marina, went to our slip, and 
everybody went home happy.  
Q.
So just to recap on Saturday.  There was four total dives? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Two in the morning, two in the afternoon? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  So after everyone leaves on Saturday, the fun is 
over for them, what do you do as the captain and owner of the 
boat? 
A.
So I wash the boat.  I clean up stuff.  I start getting it 
prepared as -- for the next day.  And at that particular time, 
I -- we -- I check everything again, as far as clamps, hoses, 
things like that to make sure that there isn't anything that 
came -- that might have happened in the second trip.  Again, I 
start the boat.  I let -- I watch the shaft for another half 
hour, 45 minutes, and nothing.  Nothing moved.  
Q.
Okay.  Now I want to direct your attention to Sunday

morning, on March 29th.  
A.
Uh-huh.
Q.
And without going into great detail because -- you know -- 
did you follow the same protocols for -- 
A.
Exactly the same.  Exactly the same.  I have a checklist 
that I keep in a clipboard up on the helm, and so it -- I 
follow it exactly the same every day.  
Q.
Okay.  So let's talk about, just generally, how did the 
dive start and where were you guys heading to?  
A.
So we -- we went out -- the dive started, everything was 
good.  We left, we went out to just a little bit south -- a 
couple miles offshore, a little bit south of the inlet.  
Q.
Okay.  What were the conditions on Sunday, were they 
similar to Saturday or -- 
A.
3- to 4-foot seas.  Wind was about 10 knots.  Current was a 
knot and a half to 2 knots.  There was a 7-second interval in 
between the waves. 
Q.
As an experienced diver, can you tell me, what does a 1 1/2 
to 2-knot current underwater mean? 
A.
So a 1 1/2 to 2 knots -- like 2 knots is -- would be 
2.3 miles an hour.  And that doesn't seem like very fast in 
your car, or you could probably even walk that, but underwater, 
it will tear the mask off your face.  
Q.
Okay.  Would you have to be facing the current head-on or 
if you turn sideways -- how -- how would that current be able

to rip your mask off? 
A.
Yes.  So divers every now and then, actually probably more 
often than that, we -- you have to dive in pretty strong 
currents, and the only thing that you don't do is try to, like, 
grab ahold of something and stop.  Because that's when it 
gets -- you're basically a flag.  
And as long as you're facing the current, or you're going 
down current, you're fine.  But if you turn your face sideways, 
it will -- it can move your mask to the -- and break the seal 
and your mask will flood and things like that.  
So in a strong current, you just -- you just float along 
with it.  You know, you don't try to stop and -- if you see a 
turtle under a ledge, then you get to see it as you fly by.  
But on a slow current day, you would be able to stop and stare 
at it a little bit and that sort of thing.  So on a day like 
that, you just -- you just float.  And -- 
Q.
But these conditions are still perfectly fine to dive in? 
A.
Perfectly fine to dive in. 
Q.
Okay.  And did everyone get in the water? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Could you just tell the jury just -- you know, without 
great detail, just generally, you know, how that entrance on 
Dive Number 1 went? 
A.
Everything went just normal.  Normal.  Came down, gave the 
dive briefing, this is how deep, this is -- this is what the

current is doing, this is where I'm going to be, this is where 
to go, how to find the -- as far as this part of the reef, this 
is where the lobster are going to be, this is where the bigger 
fish are going to be, this is where the nurse sharks and the 
turtles and stuff are going to be hanging out.
Everybody got in the water just fine.  
Q.
And how long was this dive expected to last? 
A.
50 minutes. 
Q.
Did someone -- well, who was the first person to surface? 
A.
Dave Anderson was the first person to surface after about, 
I would say, 20, 25 minutes.  
Q.
And why did he come such a short amount of time -- why did 
he surface early?  
A.
He said he was having problems staying on the reef.  So you 
get pushed off of the reef, and then you're just diving in sand 
and there is nothing to look at, so then he just came to the 
surface. 
Q.
Okay.  And so you're currently about how many miles 
offshore? 
A.
A couple.  
Q.
And what -- what reef were you at at this point? 
A.
We were just south of the Nun's Reef.  Somewhere near -- 
offshore of Governor's.  The reef, really, it's just a little 
ledge.  We changed the name of it every now and then.  
Q.
Okay.  And who were the next divers to surface?

permission to use the tripod and to have Mr. McCabe, as a 
demonstrative aid, kind of draw a little bit about what 
happened next. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  That's granted.  Please bring the 
easel over.  
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. McCabe will step off the 
witness stand and use this easel.  Mr. Keller will move over 
there so he has a proper view of what's being drawn.
I do want to advise you, ladies and gentlemen, that 
this drawing is not, in and of itself, evidence to be admitted 
in the case.  It's simply an aid in presenting Mr. McCabe's 
testimony.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Your Honor, is this in a position 
where the Court can see it?  
THE COURT:  Yes.  
Let me ensure -- Jurors, can you see that easel 
properly?  Yes.  Okay.  That's fine.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Mr. Keller?  
MR. KELLER:  I'm good. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Your Honor, can I invite Mr. McCabe 
to -- 
THE COURT:  You can.

MR. KELLER:  Can he stand over there?  
THE WITNESS:  Is this better?  
BY MR. O'SULLIVAN:
Q.
Let's -- could we do -- just in the upper corner, could we 
do a north and south, just so we have an orientation of where 
everything is?  
A.
(Complies.)  
Q.
And then I'm going to ask you just to draw a basic diagram 
of your boat.  
A.
Okay.  
Q.
Okay.  Now, why would your boat be facing in what appears 
to be a north, northwest direction? 
A.
Okay.  So when I go to pick up drivers, I always put the 
boat in a north, northwest position, so, one, the current and 
the waves will push me away from people as I back to them.  And

so I want them on the starboard side over here (indicating) 
once I start backing the boat up.  And if something happens, 
then everything is going to -- if they let go, everything is 
going to push me away from them.  And so that's why I put the 
boat in that particular -- in that particular -- 
Q.
Could you draw some arrows as to which way the current 
would be going and affecting the boat? 
A.
Okay.  So you're going to get... 
THE COURT:  One moment.  I'm going to ask that you tilt 
the easel a little bit towards the gallery as well, so any 
members of the public can observe this as well.  
Okay.  That's good.  
Jurors, can you still see this?  
JURORS:  (Head nods.)  
THE COURT:  Okay.  
THE WITNESS:  Okay.  So the current and the seas are 
coming from the southeast, moving to the northwest. 
BY MR. O'SULLIVAN:
Q.
Absent any other conditions, just assuming current, which 
way would the current push the boat? 
A.
So the current would be pushing the boat to the north, 
northwest. 
Q.
And that would be to the top left of that demonstrative 
aid? 
A.
Yes.

Q.
Okay.  Now, how about seas?  Those are different than 
current; correct? 
A.
The seas are a little bit different than current.  Our 
current -- we dive in the Gulf Stream.  And so the Gulf 
Stream -- at about a half a mile north of Palm Beach inlet, the 
Gulfstream is as close as it gets to land on the planet.  And 
so it's moving a little more -- a little more west than normal.  
And then after it passes the inlet, it turns out to the east 
and goes way, way offshore.  So by the time it gets up here, it 
is 30, 40 miles offshore.  The seas are moving a little more 
east to west.  
Q.
Can you draw some arrows in the direction that the seas 
were moving on that date?  
A.
And so the seas are going to be moving in that direction 
(indicating) in a 3- to 4-foot pattern with 7 seconds of 
interval. 
Q.
Now, what does 7 seconds of interval mean? 
A.
So that means -- 7 seconds of interval is from the crest of 
one wave to the crest of another.  For both of those two things 
to pass the same point, took 7 seconds. 
Q.
So does that mean the boat is going to be going up and down 
and back up again every 7 seconds? 
A.
Yes, yes.  The boat will sit on a crest, and then 
7 seconds, it will go down to the trough and then back up to 
the crest of the next wave in 7 seconds.

Q.
And how many pounds does the Southern Comfort weigh? 
A.
45,000. 
Q.
And that's about 22.5 tons? 
A.
That's lot. 
Q.
And so by that math, is it fair to say that the boat is 
going up and down -- 
THE COURT:  Counsel, leading. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Sorry.
BY MR. O'SULLIVAN:  
Q.
How many times a minute is the boat going up and down? 
A.
56.  
Q.
Okay.  So at this point you testified that Dave Anderson is 
on the boat? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  Who are the next two divers to ascend? 
A.
The Flynns are the next two divers to ascend.  
Q.
Could you put an "S" where Sean was and an "M" where Mollie 
was?  Could you do it a little bit bigger because -- 
A.
(Complies.)  
Q.
And just for clarity purposes, who is on the left and who 
is on the right? 
A.
So Sean is about mid- -- is about mid- -- midway through 
the swim platform on the left, if I'm looking at the -- at the 
easel here.  And then on the starboard side, Mollie is on the 
corner of the boat on the starboard side.

Q.
Okay.  What happened next?  
A.
And so at this point is when the crew tells me that -- I 
tell them -- you know, I back the boat up and I put the -- I 
put everything in -- in neutral.  I walk way over here, this is 
about where the helm is.  The crew tells me that a wave washed 
her off of the boat. 
Q.
When you say a wave washed who -- who are we referring to? 
A.
And so a lot of times, if you're -- you're hanging onto the 
handrail, and the boat is moving up and down, sometimes a wave 
will -- will hit you when you're not paying attention to it or 
maybe it hits you in the face or something and it causes you to 
let go of the handrail.  And so that's where you have washed 
off.  So now you're not attached to the boat anywhere.  
Q.
Is that what Ms. Odom testified to last week, that word 
"washed off"? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  When that happens, what do you do?  
A.
I do nothing.  
Q.
Why not? 
A.
Because I don't know where the diver is at at that point.  
And so until the crew tells me where the diver is at, or until 
I see the diver again, and they give me the -- and they give me 
the okay sign, I do nothing.  I -- I stand on the far port side 
of the boat until I see either one of those things.  
Q.
And at this point, or when did you realize that something

was going wrong? 
A.
The crew told me that the wave had washed her under the 
boat. 
Q.
Without using the exact words that they told you, tell me 
what happened next.  
A.
So basically I don't leave this area right here 
(indicating).  And so the seas and the current would have -- 
would have moved her that direction (indicating).  
Q.
So -- 
A.
Across the boat from the port -- from the starboard side to 
the port.  
Q.
Would a boat or a diver just floating -- who is going to be 
more affected by current and conditions? 
A.
The boat.  
Q.
So would the boat then -- well, with these seas and these 
currents, which direction is the boat heading? 
A.
The boat is moving in a similar -- in a similar direction 
as -- as the diver.  We're on the surface, the diver is under 
water.  Once the diver is under water, then they're going to 
drift a little bit faster than the boat is.  If you're both on 
the surface, the boat is going to drift faster. 
Q.
Okay.  At some point did the crew get in the water because 
there was an issue? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.

A.
So Dave Anderson got in the water.  And then Sean was still 
in the water.  He was over here (indicating).  And then both of 
my crew got in the water. 
Q.
Okay.  What did you learn was happening at this point?  
A.
So Sean comes up here (indicating) and tells me that she's 
stuck between the shaft and the boat.  And then that's when the 
crew and everything got in the water.  I still haven't left the 
side of the helm.  And the -- and they were trying to get her 
out from underneath the -- from being stuck between the shaft 
and the boat. 
Q.
Do you make a phone call to any type of emergency 
personnel? 
A.
Yes.  As soon as he comes up and tells me that 
she's -- that she's wedged between the hull and the shaft, I 
call the Coast Guard.  
Q.
Do you call via the ship's radio or your cell phone? 
A.
No.  I have to call by my -- by my cell phone because the 
radio is back over here at the helm, and I don't want to get 
close to the helm. 
Q.
Okay.  Did you ever engage any gears or anything? 
A.
No.  I never went back to the helm until the Coast Guard 
told me to drive the boat to the Riviera Beach marina. 
Q.
Who did you call?  Who is the first call?  When there was 
something happening, who was the first call? 
A.
I called the Marine Safety Detachment Lake Worth.

A.
So if you see Blue Heron, maybe 2 miles away from where I 
was at; 2, 2 1/2 miles, I would say. 
Q.
Okay.  And what happened when you called that safety 
detachment? 
A.
I had to go through their automated system first.  And then 
once I was in their automated system, the guy finally answered 
the phone.  I told him where I was, GPS locations, what was 
going on.  He said, "Hold on," and transferred me to marine 
safety -- or the Marine Sector Miami for the Coast Guard.  
Q.
Okay.  And what happened -- what happened next?  
A.
While I was on hold, waiting for them to answer, they 
actually called me.  And so I disconnected that phone and 
answered the call where they called me.  
Q.
Okay.  When you say "they called me," who was it that 
called you? 
A.
U.S. Coast Guard Sector Miami. 
Q.
And without telling me what they told you, did you -- what 
did you tell them about your situation? 
A.
I told them exactly what was going on, that I had someone 
trapped under the boat, I needed the small boat from marine 
safety detachment out to -- to give us assistance and render 
any first aid that might be needed.  
The gentleman that was there then transferred me to a 
trauma surgeon in Miami.

Q.
What did you do when you were transferred to a doctor in 
Miami? 
A.
I hung up the phone and called Marine Safety Detachment 
Lake Worth back. 
Q.
And what -- why?  
A.
Because the trauma surgeon in Miami doesn't do me any good. 
Q.
Okay.  What were you looking to get from the Coast Guard in 
Palm Beach? 
A.
The Coast Guard to send out their RIB, which is a rigid 
inflatable, they're small boat is what they call it.  And I 
needed them to send that out with -- with their -- with their 
personnel aboard. 
Q.
Okay.  And with these phones calls going back and forth, 
how long was it until the Coast Guard showed up on scene? 
A.
It took 18 minutes for me to get somebody on the phone.  
Every time I called Marine Safety Detachment Lake Worth, I got 
the same guy.  And finally, the last time, I told him not 
to -- don't put me on hold again.  I need you to send somebody 
out here right now, which he -- he finally did.  All of that 
took 18 minutes.  
And then after he was going to dispatch the small boat, it 
took him 26 minutes to get to the scene. 
Q.
So during that time period, what's happening in the

cockpit?  
A.
They were actually -- they had gotten her back on board and 
they were doing CPR. 
Q.
Okay.  I can ask that -- you can return that lapel speaker 
or microphone to me and you can return to your seat.  
A.
Thank you.  
Q.
Were you on the flybridge the entire time that the crew was 
working on -- doing the CPR? 
A.
Yes.  I was on the flybridge, still on the port side. 
Q.
And just tell me about what you saw.  What was going on? 
A.
They had -- they were -- compressions on -- on any wounds, 
and they were doing CPR.  I was more watching -- I was more on 
the phone, trying to get the Coast Guard out in -- as far as 
watching them, I was -- I was on the phone.  
Q.
Do any of your crew members -- did they have any 
specialized medical knowledge? 
A.
Yes.  So Siri is one of my -- was one of my crew.  She was 
an EMT for a -- the firehouse on Singer Island. 
Q.
Okay.  Once the Coast Guard arrives, tell me what happens.  
A.
So the Coast Guard little boat gets there, and they 
can't -- they don't have dock lines, they don't have any kind 
of lines on their boat, so they weren't able to drive right up 
to mine and tie off.  So I had to go down into my -- into the 
salon and get my extra lines that -- a couple lines that I had 
in order to get them tied off to my boat.  Two of their guys

get on board and -- excuse me -- they take over CPR.  
Q.
Okay.  How long did that last?  
A.
15 minutes or so.  They wouldn't move her to their boat.  
They said the sea conditions wouldn't allow it.  So that's when 
they told me to drive into Riviera Beach marina.  
Q.
You normally dock at North Palm Beach marina; correct? 
A.
Yes, but Riviera Beach is the closest. 
Q.
Okay.  How long did it take you to get from where the 
incident occurred to the Riviera Beach marina? 
A.
6, 7 minutes. 
Q.
Okay.  Tell me what happens when you get there.  
A.
So I get there and I swing the boat around so the bow is 
facing to the south, and I docked the boat.  The EMTs are 
there.  FWC is there.  The Coast Guard is there.  Palm Beach 
police is there.  Once the boat gets docked, I stay on the helm 
for another -- on the -- for another half hour or so.  
Q.
Now, you testified that FWC, North Palm Beach police, and 
the Coast Guard were present at the Riviera Beach marina? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Did they make contact with you? 
A.
Yes.  After about a half hour, I came down from the helm.  
FWC came and the Coast Guard came.  They made contact, asked 
for a written statement.  And I wrote out basically what I just 
told you.  
Q.
Was that -- FWC, was that Officer Fowler?

He asked for permission for him to be on the boat and to 
take the -- the SD cards from -- from the electronics, and if 
he could go inside the cabin, and things like that. 
Q.
Did you allow him on the boat? 
A.
Yeah.  I told him he could go wherever he wanted to. 
Q.
What are SD cards? 
A.
The storage card from the -- that they showed -- as far as 
the evidence goes, that they showed that stored all of the data 
from the -- from the Garmin and from the Furuno. 
Q.
And so you gave that to Investigator Fowler? 
A.
Yeah, I told him he could take it.  And I think he called 
the guy that -- who came and got it, but I told him I had no 
problem with him taking it. 
Q.
Did he physically go around or in your boat? 
A.
He walked on the cockpit.  And I think he poked his head 
inside the salon, but they didn't -- they didn't do any kind of 
investigation.  They didn't start the boat.  They didn't move 
it.  They didn't do anything.  
Q.
How long were these initial investigators on the scene? 
A.
I was there about six hours.  
Q.
Okay.  Was Fowler and the Coast Guard and/or the Palm 
Beach, they were there for six hours? 
A.
Yes.

Did they ever put the boat in forward? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Did they ever put the boat in reverse? 
A.
No.  
Q.
What were they doing for six hours there?  
A.
Fowler was inside the building, recording statements from 
everybody that was on board.  And everybody else was standing 
around watching the guy get in the water and take photos of the 
props. 
Q.
Okay.  So after six hours go by, you're still at the 
Riviera Beach marina; correct? 
A.
Correct. 
Q.
And that's not your home base? 
A.
No. 
Q.
Did at some point any of these investigators tell you or 
allow you to get back on your boat and go back home? 
A.
Yeah, Agent Fowler and, I think it's Captain Mosquera from 
the Lake Worth detachment, the Marine Safety Detachment Lake 
Worth, they told me that I could drive the boat back to the

Me and John. 
Q.
John, what's his last name? 
A.
John Miller. 
Q.
Okay.  So you guys -- what do you do from Riviera Beach 
marina?  
A.
Once we just -- I turned the boat around, floated 
through -- floated past Peanut Island, went under Blue Heron 
Bridge and went right back to my dock. 
Q.
Okay.  What did -- what time, about, did you return to your 
dock? 
A.
7:00.  6:00 -- 6:00, 7:00, somewhere in there. 
Q.
Okay.  And at this point, you testified earlier that you 
were kind of living on your boat --
A.
Yes. 
Q.
-- due to the separation? 
A.
Yeah. 
Q.
Did you remain on your boat that entire evening? 
A.
Not the whole evening.  We -- but mostly, yeah.  
Q.
Okay.  Did any other investigators come visit you on that 
evening? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Did any other investigators call you?

A.
Uh-huh, yeah, they had my cell number, and they knew where 
I was at. 
Q.
Okay.  I want to kind of switch gears and talk about a 
different topic.  Can you tell the jury what a six-pack vessel 
is?  We heard a little testimony about that last week.  
A.
So a six-pack vessel is someone that takes -- is a boat 
that can only have six or fewer passengers.  
Q.
So can you expand a little bit about that?  What does that 
mean?  
A.
So a passenger, what they -- what the Coast Guard defines 
as a passenger is any -- is anyone who gives consideration to 
the captain, the owner, or anyone that has interest in a 
vessel, if you give them consideration for passage or for 
carriage from point A to point B and back to point A, is -- 
you're considered a passenger.  
Q.
Is consideration just money?  
A.
Anything.  It could be if -- if you and your buddy are 
going fishing out for the weekend for -- on a Saturday 
afternoon, and you bring him -- here is some -- here is some 
beer and some bait, you have given him consideration.  
According to the Coast Guard, you would be a paying passenger.  
Q.
Okay.  And what's the significance of a paying passenger 
being onboard a vessel?

A.
So according to the -- what the -- Lieutenant Mosquera and 
Commander Cole testified to, a paying passenger should cause 
that particular vessel to be documented as a commercial vessel.  
Q.
So does that mean that everyone that brings a buddy on 
board their boat and their buddy chips in for gas, that is now 
a commercial vessel? 
A.
That's the way that they -- that they explained it.  But in 
1993, they created six-pack regulations.  And the six-pack 
regulations state that it's for the safety of uninspected 
passenger vessels, and it says that these vessels are typically 
recreational vessels for charter scuba diving, charter fishing, 
and charter tour cruises. 
Q.
As a captain of -- well, 10 year -- 10, 11 years ago, you 
got a captain's license; correct? 
A.
Uh-huh. 
Q.
As a boat captain in Florida, where do you get your 
guidance on recreational versus commercial, where do you get 
that guidance from? 
A.
You get it from the U.S. Coast Guard.  There are -- right 
now, if you call the -- if you call the Marine Sector Miami or 
Marine Safety Detachment Lake Worth, you don't get people on 
the phone.  You have to ask questions -- or answer their 
questions, and then they send you to a specific part of the web 
page.  
And so on that web page, I found three -- I went and

reviewed all of the six-pack regulations when I bought the 
vessel.  I knew them, but I wanted to update myself on them.  
You can find three different documents on the same web page 
that state the same thing, that have three different 
definitions of things and three different requirements.  And 
none of them state whether or not this is the actual one or 
this is not the actual one.  
So I went back to the original 1993 definition that stated 
a six-pack vessel is a recreational vessel, typically a charter 
scuba diving, charter fishing, or charter tour cruises. 
Q.
I want to show you what's previously been entered by the 
government as Exhibit 77.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Can everyone see that?  
THE COURT:  All right.  You have to wait a moment.  
Okay.  I think now the screens are visible.  Please continue.
BY MR. O'SULLIVAN:  
Q.
Mr. McCabe, I want to direct your attention to block J, 
which is about two-thirds of the way down this exhibit.  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Why did you check "recreational"?  
A.
Because of that definition I found on the Coast Guard's web 
page. 
Q.
Under Exhibit J [sic], is there a box that says 
"commercial"?

Q.
I would like to direct your attention to block K.  
A.
Yes. 
Q.
It says "primary service" and "horsepower"? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Who filled out that horsepower?  
A.
I -- I did.  
Q.
Okay.  And why did you check "recreational"?  
A.
Going back to that same definition on the Coast Guard's web 
page.  
Q.
Under block K, does it -- does it say "ever use" or just 
"primary use"?  
A.
Just says "primary use."  
Q.
When you filled out these documents, did you fill them out 
as accurately as you understood them to be at the time?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  I want to switch gears a little bit and move on to a 
different subject.   
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  May I just have one moment, 
Your Honor?  
THE COURT:  Yes.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:
Q.
Okay.  Mr. McCabe, do you recall last week when Agent King 
testified about some government moneys, some unemployment that 
you received in May of 2020? 
A.
Yes.

Q.
Okay.  And do you recall how much that was?  
A.
I believe it totaled $1,700.  
Q.
Okay.  And I'm going to republish to the jury and show 
what's previously been marked as Government's Exhibit 100G.  
Do you recognize this document from last week? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And could you tell me the date that's on the top where it 
says "statement period."  
A.
May of 2020.  
Q.
Okay.  And I'm going to switch now -- not switch.  I'm 
going to move down to page 2 of that document.  Can you point 
out to the jury where any -- any unemployment was paid to you?  
A.
About halfway down the page, if you look at the date, it 
will be on 5/11 and 5/12.  
Q.
Okay.  And is that the total amount of unemployment you 
received that month? 
A.
That's the total amount of unemployment I received total. 
Q.
Okay.  So we only saw the May statement; correct?  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
Did we see an April or a June statement? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Did you receive any unemployment in April or June? 
A.
No.  That unemployment wasn't state benefits.  That was 
what was called pandemic unemployment and -- assistance.  It 
was for anyone who wasn't eligible for state unemployment

assistance.  
If you remember back at the COVID days, when they talked 
about the $600 a month, that's what that was for.  It was for 
self-employed workers, gig workers, freelance people, people 
that worked part-time, things like that.  
Q.
How many times did you get that particular payment?  
A.
Just those -- that you see right there. 
Q.
Just in May of 2020? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
No other times? 
A.
No.  After I got the paycheck loan, the PPP loan, it 
was -- I had -- I had the funds that I needed to support the 
business, so I took myself off of that PUA unemployment, even 
though the PPP and the PUA said I could collect them both at 
the same time. 
Q.
Okay.  At some point did you -- I'm going to remove this 
exhibit for now.  
At some point did you apply for a PPP loan? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And what was your understanding what the purpose of the PPP 
loan was?  
A.
To cover business expenses, payroll, rent; in my case, slip 
rent, utilities, insurance, basically business expenses to keep 
the business afloat during COVID. 
Q.
Okay.  Did you have a monthly note or a mortgage on the

Southern Comfort?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
How much was your mortgage on the boat?  
A.
I think it was $1,810. 
Q.
And I want to talk about some other expenses.  How much was 
the slip rent?  
A.
Slip rent was 17, I believe.  
Q.
Other expenses, insurance?  
A.
Insurance and utilities equalled another 400.  
Q.
Okay.  What other expenses were associated with the monthly 
costs of just the Southern Comfort without -- without fuel, 
just sitting in the slip?  
A.
Just for that boat, just sitting in the slip, I had 
the -- the insurance, I had the utilities that you had to pay, 
the boat payment, the slip rent, plus you had anything that 
broke while I was out there, so you had maintenance as well. 
Q.
Generally -- I know you can't pinpoint it because it's 
different every month, but generally what would the maintenance 
on a boat, without even leaving the slip, what would that be -- 
or what could it be? 
A.
200 to $500.  
Q.
Okay.  And we heard some testimony that Steve Poznak had 
some financial interest in the boat.  Did he chip in for any of 
these expenses? 
A.
No.

Q.
Whose responsibility was it to pay these expenses every 
month? 
A.
Mine. 
Q.
Okay.  And just ballparking, the testimony that you just 
did, how much a month are you shelling out to keep this boat in 
the slip?  
A.
Anywhere 3,500 to $4,000 a month.  
Q.
Okay.  And that doesn't include gas, obviously; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
Is it fair to say that the more you use the boat, the more 
maintenance you're going to have to perform on it? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  And this -- strike that.
How did you initially apply for the PPP loan?  
A.
So you -- it took forever to find an institution that was 
actually participating in the program, and my -- my banks 
didn't.  A lot of the -- a lot of the bigger banks did, but 
they were only for people who had accounts with them.  So I -- 
you had to call around and find somebody that -- that 
participated.  
Q.
I think Ari Pollack, he testified that there was 5,400 
banks across the country that were participating.  
A.
I think that sounds about right.  
Q.
Was there a database that showed those?  Or how did you 
come across --

Q.
Okay.  And at some point, were you connected with Cross 
River? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And Celtic Bank? 
A.
Yeah, Cross River first, Celtic was second.  They were -- I 
think they're -- it's -- I think they're under the same 
conglomeration.  
Q.
So -- 
A.
I know they're connected somehow. 
Q.
If you could tell the jury, how do you initially -- 
you know, how do you -- do you -- do you download forms?  Do 
you talk to a loan officer?  Like, how -- how do you start the 
process of getting a PPP loan?  
A.
So I guess you could do it online.  I didn't.  I didn't do 
it online.  I called the -- I called over and over and over 
until I got a person on the phone.  He had told me that the 
applications were closed at that particular time, that they had 
run out of funds, but then he would contact me the day before 
the applications were going to open again. 
Q.
Was that consistent with -- 
A.
Masterman's. 
Q.
I think it was Jason Masterman who testified that the first 
round was gone within a couple of weeks --
A.
Yes.

Q.
-- due to the big interest in it? 
A.
Yeah, that's correct. 
Q.
Okay.  So I kind of cut you off.  What was the next step 
that you did in trying to secure a PPP loan? 
A.
So he contacted me the day before the applications opened 
again and told me that they were going to open tomorrow.  I 
called him in the morning and he said he was going to email me 
the application -- the link to the application, and he told me 
how to fill it out.  
Q.
Okay.  Was the link emailed to you? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Did you fill that application out? 
A.
I did fill that application out, as he -- as I was 
instructed. 
Q.
Okay.  Did you get a PPP loan? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  When was the first one that you got?  
A.
I believe the application was in May of 2020.  
Q.
Okay.  And there was no issues with that loan; correct? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Okay.  No one has testified about that loan; correct? 
A.
No.  In the indictment there were three of the 
applications, both of the forgiveness application, and the 
second loan application listed -- the first loan application 
was not listed, even though it's basically the same as the

second. 
Q.
Okay.  So that loan application is not part of this case? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Okay.  Let's talk about the second loan application.  
A.
Okay.  
Q.
Tell me about -- same questions.  How did you first start 
to apply for that loan? 
A.
The exact same way.  I didn't have to make as many phone 
calls.  At that time they -- at that point, I had done enough 
research prior to know who -- you know, who was still doing the 
program for the second draw.  And I didn't have to make as many 
phone calls, but I -- the same -- the same deal.  I called 
them, I got them on the phone.  They told me how to fill out 
the application.  They emailed me the application.  I clicked 
the link, went through all of their things, and then submitted 
it to them. 
Q.
Okay.  And were you ultimately approved for a paycheck 
protection loan? 
A.
Yes.  The only difference in the two applications was Cross 
River told me not to -- not to count myself as an employee and 
Celtic told me to count myself. 
Q.
So on one of the applications that we saw, there was -- 
listed zero employees? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And the other application, how many employees were listed?

And both applications, as opposed to forgiveness, the 
applications themselves, were ultimately approved? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And did you receive those funds? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And what did you spend the money on?  
A.
Slip rent, payroll, insurance, boat payment, what I was 
supposed to spend it on. 
Q.
Payroll can include paying yourself; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
I mean, you're the owner of the company; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And you're allowed to be paid for your work; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And there is still work to do on the boat, even if there is 
not active divers? 
THE COURT:  These are leading questions. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  I'm sorry. 
THE COURT:  Next question. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Yes, ma'am.

BY MR. O'SULLIVAN:
Q.
Did your payroll increase at all over the course of the 
second and the -- first, second, or third? 
A.
From the first draw to the second draw, my payroll 
increased by about $650. 
Q.
Is that per year or per month?  
A.
Per -- total.  Or per month.  
Q.
Okay.  Your ex-wife Kristy, she testified that she did the 
books for the business?  
A.
Before -- yes. 
Q.
Did she -- did she do the books for the business? 
A.
Before '17, she did.  After '17, when she was hurt, she 
didn't do them totally, but did them mostly.  I -- I helped out 
as well when -- when -- when needed.  
Q.
Did she also have an external source of income?  
A.
Yes.  So at '17 she got a job at where she works now.  And 
so at that point, she was paying all of our household expenses 
through March of 2020.  And anything that the boat made was 
going back into the -- was going back into the business to help 
it grow.  
Q.
Okay.  Did the Coast Guard issue you any specific orders in 
April?  
A.
Yeah, they issued me a port order that basically told me I 
couldn't use the boat.  
Q.
What's a port order?

A.
So it comes from the -- it comes from the master of the 
port that tells me that you -- you can't use your vessel 
until -- and gives you a list of "these are the things that you 
need to do in order to be able to use your vessel." 
Q.
Did you comply with the port order? 
A.
Yeah, I didn't use the boat. 
Q.
How were you making a living? 
A.
I was -- I was teaching diving.  I was taking my customers 
down to, like, Boynton or Boca, or down to the Keys and -- on 
dive trips.  I was teaching people how to navigate underwater, 
how to spearfish, things like that. 
Q.
Whose boat would these lessons have been taught on or whose 
pools would they have been taught in? 
A.
The pool I used was the North Palm Beach golf club pool, 
which is the -- across the street from the marina.  And any 
instruction that I did, I did it basically off Sandy's boat.  
Q.
And that's Ms. Brammeier --
A.
Yes.  
Q.
-- who testified last week? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  At some point did you apply for forgiveness for 
these loans? 
A.
I did. 
Q.
Why?  
A.
Because that's what -- that's what they were there for.  I

was able to apply for forgiveness for them.  It was -- I 
qualified to be able to do that, so that's what I did. 
Q.
Why do you say that you qualified?  
A.
Anybody that got one of the PPP loans was able to apply for 
forgiveness.  It didn't necessarily mean that you were going to 
be approved for it.  
Q.
Okay.  I want to show you what's previously been entered 
into evidence as Government's 91.  
Can we all see that?  Can you see it Mr. McCabe? 
A.
Yes.  Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  I want to direct -- I want to direct your attention 
to about a quarter of the way down, where it says number -- 
well, number of employees.  
A.
Yeah.  That says one.  
Q.
Okay.  Did you use the Southern Comfort for dive trips 
after this accident on March 29th of 2020? 
A.
No.  
Q.
What happened to the boat in the ensuing months? 
A.
I moved it to a private slip in the Intracoastal because 
the media kept showing up at the marina.  And so it was hard 
for me to get there to do any -- well, you know, routine 
maintenance.  You still have to make sure that the bilge pumps 
are working and things like that.  And so it made it hard for 
me to get there to do that without getting bombed by the media, 
so I moved it to a private slip.

Q.
Were you able to afford all these expenses with no divers 
bringing income in? 
A.
Once I had the PPP loans, I could -- and I was making -- I 
was doing okay teaching and things like that.  So somewhat, 
yeah, I was getting money from family, using savings. 
Q.
Do you recall Steve Poznak testifying that when he took 
possession of the Southern Comfort, it was in not so great 
repair? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Tell the jury about how that came to be.  
A.
And so when -- after -- after a while -- so the Coast Guard 
was investigating my credentials, as well as the boat.  And so 
even if I had cleared the port order from the -- from the 
Coast Guard, I still wouldn't have been able to use the boat 
until they got finished with their investigation into my 
credentials.  
And so that's why I never cleared the port order.  I was 
waiting on them to finish their investigation into the 
credentials, then I would have cleared the port order and then 
I would have been able to use the boat again.  And so after a 
while, after the payroll, and it -- there just wasn't enough 
money for me to do -- afford all of my personal expenses and 
all the boat expenses.  
Q.
And at the same time, what was the marital status of you 
and your --

A.
We were -- we were in -- we had split, we were separated.  
And so I no longer had her income paying the personal expenses, 
so now I had my -- my own rent, my own car payment, my own 
insurance to do. 
Q.
Okay.  And at some point you did apply for loan 
forgiveness; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And do you remember the name of the form that is used to 
apply for the loan forgiveness?  
A.
So I got a standard email that was, you know, one that you 
get from places, "Dear Customer," things like that.  So it 
wasn't from any particular person, it was an automated one that 
said it was time to apply for loan forgiveness and gave you a 
link to the application.  So once I got that, I filled it out 
and sent it in. 
Q.
Do you remember the number of the form?  
A.
3805S.  
Q.
I'm now going to show -- republish for the jury and show 
the witness what's previously been entered as Government's 
Exhibit 98.  
Do you recognize that document? 
A.
Yeah, that is -- that is the loan forgiveness application, 
3805S.  
Q.
Okay.  And did you fill this out?  
A.
I did.

I believe this is for the first one.  
Q.
Okay.  About a quarter of the way down, toward the right, 
it says that -- employees at time of forgiveness.  
A.
Correct. 
Q.
Who filled out that number 5? 
A.
I did. 
Q.
Why did you put the number 5? 
A.
Because once I got that email, again, I called the same guy 
because I had his direct number to his desk and told him the 
story of, okay, I had this accident.  I'm not able to use the 
boat right now.  The business isn't closed.  Even though a 
closed business could still file for forgiveness from the PPP 
program, I told him the business wasn't closed, but I'm not 
using the boat right now, so all of my crew isn't working for 
me.
And he asked me -- or he said -- instructed me that if -- 
when I'm filling out that number, if I were to be able to use 
the boat tomorrow, how many of my crew would come back.  And so 
all of my crew were just waiting on me to tell them that we 
were working.  
Q.
And how long have you had that crew with you?  
A.
Three, four years.  
Q.
Was it your expectation that, once you were back in

business, that you would resume operations? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  Did you have more than one business account?  
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Why?  
A.
One, I was -- I had to open some accounts as I was looking 
for -- for people that would do the loan, there was -- Velocity 
would do -- they were doing it, but you had to have an account 
for X-number of years; but I opened up an account there.  I was 
actually -- it was difficult for me to -- as I was teaching, if 
people paid cash, if I sold some tanks or sold some gear and 
people paid me cash, I would have to mail it to the Knoxville 
TVA credit union in Tennessee in order to get that deposit.  
And so I wanted a local bank so I could deposit cash and I 
didn't have to carry it around. 
Q.
Now, you testified that the business was still technically 
open but just not serving divers; correct? 
A.
The business was open.  I was still -- I was still doing 
marketing and stuff, like, online for instruction and different 
classes; as you heard some of the testimony, say, where people 
would be wreck divers and things like that or -- and so I was 
teaching navigation, I was teaching people how to spearfish.  
And the business was open, but it wasn't -- I just couldn't use 
the boat. 
Q.
Now, as far as your separation from your now ex-wife, on

the articles of incorporation, she originally was listed as 
a -- I believe two positions.  
Do you recall those? 
A.
The -- I know one of them was the secretary.  And then I'm 
not sure of the other one, what she was listed at. 
Q.
When you guys, in your personal life, separated, did 
something happen with her interest in the business? 
A.
She wanted her interest in the business to be removed.  I 
didn't -- that didn't happen.  If you look on Sunbiz right now 
and look up Florida Scuba Charters, you will see that she is 
still listed as a secretary. 
Q.
Was she involved in any of the operations of -- after March 
of 2020 of the business? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Okay.  Did you -- did you switch banks in that time period? 
A.
Yes, yes. 
Q.
And what was the reason for that, as it relates to your 
ex-wife? 
A.
I didn't want her to have access to any of the accounts.  
Q.
Okay.  
A.
And so -- because she was still on the articles and she 
still had access to the accounts.  
And so I didn't want her to have access to the accounts.  
So some -- I would switch the banks -- I switched banks to 
basically keep her from having access.

With her name still on the -- she could have called and 
said, "I need to reset my password," and they would 
have -- they would sent her a link to reset her password.  
So...  
Q.
Do you know what a Captain's Log is? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
I should have asked you this earlier.  But just tell the 
jury, what's a Captain's Log?  
A.
So a Captain's Log is a book that I kept at the helm.  Just 
about every boat on -- as far as a ship or any kind of vessel, 
you wouldn't keep one on a weekend fishing boat.  But anything 
bigger than that, you would have a boat [sic] at the helm that 
would have "these are my engines, these are my transmissions, 
this is my standard RPMs, this is all of the operating stuff."
And then on a daily basis, you would write down, this is 
what I do, this is where I go, this is -- this is the repairs I 
have made, this is what I'm noticing. 
Q.
What's the point of having a Captain's Logbook? 
A.
So you would look at a Captain's Logbook to notice, Oh, 
today I'm -- I'm at 2,000 RPMs, but yesterday I was at 24.  Why 
did I lose 400 RPMs?  Or, you know, that sort of thing.  
In my case, it was:  This is what I checked and this is 
what was broken.  These are my observations about the boat.  
This is where I took divers.  This is who was on board.  And so

Q.
And you know that I work for the United States, that I'm 
the prosecutor in this case? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Excuse me.  And you know that I will be asking you what are 
called leading questions during this cross-examination, where 
it's usually a yes or a no? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And if you don't understand a question, you can just ask 
me, you know, to rephrase it, to explain it better.  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And I know y'all were going fast during the direct.  If you 
need to slow down, if you need a second, then feel free.  
And I'm going to start by just asking, before Mollie's 
death, you operated a business called Florida Scuba Charters; 
is that right? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And I want to start by asking you some questions about 
Florida Scuba Charters, then we will move on to, you know, 
March 28th, March 29th, that sort of thing.  But I want to 
start with Florida Scuba Charters.  
You started operating Florida Scuba Charters in 2014? 
A.
I believe so. 
Q.
And you continually ran it through March of 2020.  
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And for the business, you became a licensed merchant

mariner.  
A.
Yes.  
THE COURT:  Are you asking questions, Counsel?  
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor. 
THE COURT:  I'm not hearing a question.  So just make 
sure what you are asking are questions, not statements. 
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor. 
MR. KELLER:
Q.
And when you became a licensed merchant mariner, isn't it 
correct that you took an oath? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And publishing for the witness and for the jury what's been 
marked and admitted as Government's Exhibit 110, Mr. McCabe, 
can you see that in front of you? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And is it -- isn't it right that this is the oath that you 
swore? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And you swore that oath to follow the laws of the 
United States; right? 
A.
Correct. 
Q.
And you did that after you took classes on the Coast Guard 
regulations and the laws; is that right? 
A.
Correct.

Exhibit -- what's been admitted as Government's Exhibit 58.  
BY MR. KELLER:  
Q.
And, Mr. McCabe, this is your merchant mariner license; 
right? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And you renewed this license in 2019; is that correct? 
A.
Yes.  You have to renew it every five years.  
Q.
And as a merchant mariner, you knew, isn't it right, that 
the rules were different for captains who took out paying 
passengers as compared to recreational boats?  
A.
It depends on how many people are on your boat and what the 
purpose of using the boat for that particular time is.  
Q.
So I will just ask the question again.  The rules are 
different, isn't it right, between paying passenger commercial 
boats on the one hand and then recreational boats on the other? 
A.
It depends on how many people are on board and what the 
purpose of using the vessel for that particular day is. 
Q.
And you were sitting over at counsel table last week when 
Sean Goodman, when Chris Mosquera testified, that just having 
one paying passenger makes you a passenger vessel; is that 
right? 
A.
That's what they said. 
Q.
And your testimony today is that they were incorrect? 
A.
My testimony today is that the statement that the U.S. 
Coast Guard regulations, on their web page, states that the

six-pack rules were -- or the six-pack regulations were 
designed for recreational vessels that typically are charter 
scuba diving vessels, charter fishing vessels, or charter tour 
cruises. 
Q.
Yes, sir.  And I'm not trying to be rude by re-asking a 
question, but it's just that I need you to answer the question 
I asked.  
So when it comes to Mr. Goodman and Mr. Mosquera testifying 
last week, where they said just having one passenger on that 
boat makes it a passenger vessel and things were different, is 
your testimony today that they were wrong about that?  
A.
My testimony is that -- exactly what I told you.  They said 
one paying passenger -- one paying customer on -- one person 
that gives you consideration creates a passenger for hire.  
Q.
And is your testimony that they were wrong about that, that 
it makes you into a passenger boat as soon as you've got one? 
A.
As soon as you have one person on board, it makes you a 
passenger vessel.  You're still an uninspected passenger 
vessel, and those regulation [sic] on the Coast Guard web page 
states what I just said before.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  So were Mr. Mosquera and Mr. Goodman right or 
wrong? 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection, Your Honor.  Asked and 
answered.  
THE COURT:  Overruled.  Answer the question.

THE WITNESS:  They didn't give you the full story of 
the question.  They gave you bits and pieces. 
BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
Okay.  So your testimony is that they were just giving 
half-truths? 
A.
They didn't talk about the number of passengers aboard.  
They didn't talk about whether or not you were an inspected 
vessel, an uninspected vessel, how many people that were 
onboard during that time, or what the regulations were between 
the two.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  I'm going to go ahead and move us on from this 
issue.  
So I'm going to bring us to Florida Scuba Charters.  And 
that was a scuba charter business; is that right? 
A.
We did charters.  We did teaching.  We did trips.  We did a 
lot more than just take out charters. 
Q.
But you were a scuba charter business; is that right? 
A.
I have a business, yes. 
Q.
And so by running that business, Florida Scuba Charters, 
isn't it right that you would take scuba passengers out for 
pay? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And you knew, as a licensed merchant mariner, that taking 
passengers out for pay made you a passenger vessel; right? 
A.
Again, it depends on the -- on the -- what I'm doing that

day, but most of the time, yes.  
Q.
And you ran Florida Scuba also with a vessel called the Sea 
Pup for a time; is that right? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And then after that, you ran Florida Scuba with a vessel 
called the Sea Scout for a time? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And isn't it right that these were both typical dive boats? 
A.
They were both the same boat, yes. 
Q.
And on both of these boats, you would have even more than 
six passengers at a time on them; correct? 
A.
Yes.  They were both inspected for 14 passengers.  
Q.
And they were -- when you say "inspected," you mean that 
they had to be Coast Guard investigated, checked, all that?  
A.
They had -- the rules for a six-pack versus an inspected 
vessel are different, so, yes, they were inspected vessels. 
Q.
And through that process, you learned about getting 
inspected by the Coast Guard; is that right? 
A.
For boats that took more than six people, yes.  
Q.
And when you had a Coast Guard inspected vessel, you would 
give the safety warning that you talked about before; is that 
right? 
A.
The exact same safety briefing, except the first sentence 
said, "This is a Coast Guard inspected vessel."  
Q.
Okay.  And up until March of 2020, Kristy Kelly, your now

ex-wife, ran the business with you; is that right?  
A.
She stopped running the business in '17.  
Q.
And -- but you testified that she continued to keep the 
finances, watch the books; right? 
A.
For -- somewhat.  For -- depends on what she had going on 
at work and how she felt as far as her injury.  
Q.
And would you agree with me that minding the books, 
watching the finances is part of running a business? 
A.
It is.  
Q.
And showing you Government's Exhibit 114, publishing what's 
been admitted into evidence -- make that 104, rather.  
Mr. McCabe, this is the document that y'all were talking about 
on direct, the articles of incorporation; is that right?  
A.
That is the articles of incorporation for Florida Scuba 
Charters. 
Q.
And at the bottom of this, it says -- and this is what I 
think you were looking for on direct -- that Ms. Kelly was also 
the registered agent of the company; right? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And she testified that as the registered agent, she would 
be the one who accepted service for the company; right? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And then on the next page is where it says that she was the 
secretary; is that correct? 
A.
Yes.

Q.
And publishing to you what's been marked and admitted as 
Government's Exhibit 100, this is the Knoxville TVA bank 
account signature page for Florida Scuba Charters; is that 
correct? 
A.
That is to get a new bank card account, to take her off of 
the bank card so she didn't have access to Florida Scuba 
Charters' bank account. 
Q.
And, sir, I think you may be thinking about a different 
record.  Is this the one that was -- where the account was 
opened?  
A.
I'm not sure.  I believe it is a new bank card account.  
It's not an opening of an account.  We had an account with TVA 
since 2014.  
Q.
And who are the listed authorized signers on this account? 
A.
Myself and my ex-wife.  
Q.
And Ms. Kelly knew Florida Scuba's payroll information in 
2019; right? 
A.
No.  
Q.
So Ms. -- 
A.
It depends on what time in 2019.  Are you -- do you mean 
toward the end of the year, or do you mean toward the beginning 
of the year?  
Q.
Is your testimony that she had different knowledge during 
different times of 2019? 
A.
Toward the end of '19, we separated and we had to split

everything up; so then she would not have had access to what 
the payroll was.  
Q.
And, sir, do you see that this record is from November 21st 
of 2019?  Do you see that at the top? 
A.
Uh-huh.  
Q.
And do you see that this is a document where you're opening 
a bank account, a joint account, for Florida Scuba Charters?  
A.
So the way TVA does things, if you change anything on 
the -- on the bank account, then they don't just change it, 
they give you a new number, a new -- a new everything.  So this 
was not opening a new account.  Florida Scuba Charters had an 
account since 2014.  This was just adjusting the account to 
a -- a different type of account, a different number, 
something -- I don't recall what -- what this form was for, but 
it is not for a brand-new account.  I have had an account 
since -- with TVA credit union for 30 years.  And the business 
opened an account in '14.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  And did you open a personal account in '14?  
A.
I have had -- I have had a personal account -- as I just 
testified, I have had a personal account with TVA for 30 years.  
Q.
And were you -- and you were sitting there last week when 
Ms. Kelly testified that this is opening the Florida Scuba 
Charter business account; right?  
A.
I -- that's what she said.  But -- 
Q.
And is it your testimony that she was lying about that?

A.
I -- I'm -- my testimony is I'm not sure what -- what the 
nature of this -- of this form is, why it was, but this was not 
a new account.  We had a -- we already had a bank account at 
TVA. 
Q.
So is it your testimony that Ms. Kelly was mistaken or 
confused about the fact that -- when she testified that this is 
the first business account y'all had owned?  
A.
That is totally incorrect, yes.  Because we had business 
accounts at Sun -- at SunTrust, at Bank of America, at other 
banks as well, long before in -- back in 2008, 2006, 2000 -- so 
no, it's not the first business account that her and I have 
opened.  
Q.
And you said that you had accounts for Florida Scuba in 
2008 and 2006? 
A.
No, I did not say that.  I said that we had business 
accounts in those years.  
Q.
And moving past that.  So Ms. Kelly, she knew whether 
Florida Scuba had employees that year; right?  2019?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection.  Calls for speculation.  
THE COURT:  Sustained.  But you may rephrase the 
question.  
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor. 
MR. KELLER:
Q.
Ms. Kelly testified that she -- last week that she knew 
whether Florida Scuba had employees in 2019; right?

A.
I believe so. 
Q.
And is it your testimony that she was incorrect about 
having that knowledge?  
A.
I -- I believe she did know, but I -- there is no way for 
me to know if she did or if she didn't. 
Q.
Okay.  So we are going to come back to that.  So for now, 
though, I want to keep us, kind of, moving along the timeline a 
little bit.  
So in March of 2020, you bought a vessel called the 
Persistence; right? 
A.
I believe that was the -- the original name, yes.  
Q.
And you renamed it the Southern Comfort? 
A.
That was --
Q.
Correct? 
A.
-- the name of my vessel, yes. 
Q.
And you testified on direct about buying the Southern 
Comfort to operate a concierge scuba diving business; is that 
right? 
A.
To -- to operate a more luxury-type of a diving charter, 
yes. 
Q.
And you talked to people about doing this, about buying the 
boat for this purpose in 2019; correct?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And you bought the Southern Comfort to take out paying 
passengers; is that right?

A.
Not solely, but, yes.  
Q.
And you bought the boat to continue operating your Florida 
Scuba Charters business; is that right?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And when you bought the Southern Comfort, that was the only 
boat that you owned; correct?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
You sold the Sea Scout, and you used that money to help buy 
the Southern Comfort; is that right?  
A.
Among other things, but, yes. 
Q.
And you had your friend, Steve Poznak, cosign on the 
purchase; is that correct?  
A.
I believe he did, yes. 
MR. KELLER:  And publishing to the witness and for the 
jury what's been admitted as Government's Exhibit 74.  
BY MR. KELLER:  
Q.
This is the mortgage that Mr. Poznak and you signed on 
March 5th of 2020; is that right?  
A.
It looks right.  
Q.
And using the Southern Comfort, you were going to have to 
make enough money to pay your note on that boat; is that right?  
A.
Among other expenses, but, yes. 
Q.
And when you bought the Southern Comfort, you completed 
paperwork for the boat with the Coast Guard; right?  
A.
Yes, I documented the boat.

Q.

Form 1258 that is Government's Exhibit 77; right?  
A.
I'm not sure what the -- what the number is.  
Q.
Sure.  So at this time the government will publish what's 
been admitted as Government's Exhibit 77.  So, Mr. McCabe, you 
recognize this document; right?  
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And this is your application for the -- the certificate of 
documentation, like you talked about on direct; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And on page 3, this is your signature; right?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And you saw right above it where it says potential 
penalties for a false statement include that you could get in 
trouble for lying on it; correct?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And moving back to page 1, looking at part J, you only 
checked "recreational"? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And you know that you could have made additional 
endorsements?  
A.
No.  
Q.
And on part K, you selected "recreational" again.  
A.
Correct. 
Q.
You did not check where it says "passenger six or fewer" on

the form?  
A.
It didn't tell me that I could check more than one. 
Q.
But you knew at the time that you filled out this form that 
you were going to have paying passengers on that boat? 
A.
But I also went back to the definition that -- the six-pack 
regulations of the U.S. Coast Guard that state that a 
six-pack -- the rules and regulations for a six-pack, created 
in 1993, were recreation for vessels used for chartering scuba 
diving, chartering fishing, and chartering tour cruises.  
So based on that definition from the Coast Guard, 
"recreational" is what I should have checked.  
Q.
And you were sitting at counsel table last week when 
Ms. Walker testified about this form and about the 
documentation rules for this form; correct?  
A.
I was at the table, yes. 
Q.
And she testified that she has been working for the 
Coast Guard for some 30, 20 years doing this documentation 
work; correct?  
A.
I don't know.  I don't remember how many years she said.  
Q.
And she said and she testified that anytime you have paying 
passengers on a boat, you have to be coast-wide documented; 
isn't this right?  
A.
I don't know if she said that or not. 
Q.
What about Mr. Mosquera and Mr. Goodman?  Is your testimony 
today that you don't remember whether they said that you have

to be documented, you have to register in order to have paying 
passengers?  
A.
Again, I'm not sure.  They didn't give you the whole story.  
They were giving you regulations for an inspected vessel 
instead of an uninspected vessel.  And they weren't using the 
definition from the U.S. Coast Guard's rules of a six-pack that 
is on the U.S. Coast Guard's web page.  
Q.
And you don't deny that, when you filled this out, though, 
that you intended to bring paying passengers on this boat? 
A.
The -- among other things. 
Q.
And you don't deny that before you filled out this form, 
you had already bought things like dive benches, in order to 
refit this boat for your scuba charter business?  
A.
That -- yes, I don't deny that. 
Q.
And -- 
A.
That's -- I could also dive off of dive benches personally.  
I can also take friends.  I -- there is lots of things that I 
can do with a dive bench.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  And just weeks after you filled out this form, 
you were already taking out paying passengers; correct?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And that includes paying passengers you took out on 
March 28th of 2020; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And that includes paying passengers you took out on

March 29th of 2020; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And on March 29th, when you were setting up the trip where 
Mollie died, David Anderson sent you a text message asking 
whether y'all were allowed to go out that day; isn't that 
right? 
A.
That's correct. 
Q.
And publishing to the witness Government's Exhibit 15, and 
for the jury what's been admitted as Government's Exhibit 15, 
Mr. Anderson wrote that he, quote, "just saw the ticker at the 
bottom of the screen on ABC that said all Palm Beach County 
ramps and marinas are closed."  And you responded, quote, 
"Yeah, to recreational boating"; isn't that right?  
A.
To recreational individual boating.  
Q.
And by that -- isn't it right that you meant that your boat 
is not recreational, so it doesn't have to abide that rule?  
A.
That's not what I meant by that.  
Q.
Okay.  You meant something else than what you said right 
there? 
A.
Than what I said on that text message?  
Q.
Because here you did say that the -- Southern Comfort was 
not a recreational boat, and that's why you were able to go 
out; isn't that right? 
A.
That's not why I was -- why I was able to go out.  I was 
able to go out because I had a saltwater fishing license.  So

had we caught enough -- shot enough fish and caught enough 
lobsters, we would have had the opportunity to sell them to 
local restaurants, which allowed us to go out.  
But if you remember Sandy's testimony, she also said that 
all of the other dive boats were going out because we were 
able.  Because of that -- because of that license where I -- I 
could have sold fish to local restaurants, therefore, we were 
considered essential and we could go out.  
So to recreational boating, what that means is, you taking 
your jet ski out to ride around in the Intracoastal, yeah, they 
were shut down for that, but it did not -- that statement 
didn't re- -- it didn't reply to -- didn't mean recreational 
versus commercial, like you're trying to switch the words up. 
Q.
Yes, sir, I understand.  And I will move us on because I'm 
going to bring us past March 28th and 29th, and I want to stay 
on the business.  
And I want to start by asking, so after March 29th, after 
this text message where you said that you were not a 
recreational boat, isn't it right that you exchanged text 
messages with Sean Goodman from the Coast Guard?  
A.
I don't recall.  I'm -- what they -- I'm sure I did after 
the accident, but I don't recall what they were.  
Q.
And you heard Mr. Goodman testify last week about those 
text messages?  
A.
I believe so.

Q.
And publishing to the witness and to the jury what's been 
admitted as Government's Exhibit 82.  Mr. McCabe, this is your 
text message with Mr. Goodman; right?  
A.
I don't know whose -- I don't know who that is.  It doesn't 
have a phone -- it doesn't have a phone number.  It doesn't 
have a name.  It just says somebody had saved my number in 
their account -- or on their phone.  And it doesn't say who 
it's from.  
Q.
Yes, sir, but you were here last week when Mr. Goodman 
testified about this text message, right; correct?  
A.
I was here.  
Q.
And you remember -- and as we're looking at on page 2 -- 
when he said this was his and that that was his email, 
seantgoodman@uscg.mil; right? 
A.
That is what he said. 
Q.
And the date of this text thread is at the end of March, is 
that right, of 2020? 
A.
That one particular date says March 31st, but there is no 
way to know if all of these threads are connected. 
Q.
Okay.  So let's focus on this March 31st one.  You would 
agree with me that this text message was sent two days after 
Mollie was killed; right?  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And directing your attention to the bottom of this text 
message, isn't it right that on March 31st of 2020, you said

the business was shut down and that you had no income?  
A.
At that -- at that particular time, yeah, it wasn't -- I 
wasn't focused on teaching, I wasn't focused on doing that, but 
that doesn't mean that the business was shut down.  The 
business was not closed.  
Q.
But my question is just, isn't that what you said that day?  
You said, quote, "the business being shut down and no income"; 
right?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And three days after this text message is when you 
completed the first PPP loan application that you had Josh 
Steib email; is that right?  
A.
I'm not sure of the date, but I thought it was May 11th.  
Q.
Sure.  So why don't I bring us to and publish what's been 
admitted as Government's Exhibit 81.  And, Mr. McCabe, do you 
recognize this document from last week? 
A.
It's an email from Josh to me on April 3rd.  
Q.
April 3rd of 2020?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And I just want to note -- so you sent this email -- or 
this email was sent to you at 2:52 p.m.; is that correct?  
A.
That's what the timestamp says. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Your Honor, I'm going to object.  This 
is outside the scope of direct.  
THE COURT:  Overruled.

BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
And, just to be clear, what this document is -- and I'm 
going to get us to the PPP application in just a second.  But 
this is the marine casualty report that you submitted for 
Mollie's death; correct?  
A.
That looks like the form, yes.  
Q.
So 2:52 p.m. on April 3rd.  
Now, turning to Government's Exhibit 79, isn't it right 
that this email was sent from you to Mr. Steib the minute after 
you submitted your -- or that you received your casualty report 
for Mollie?  
A.
The -- the timestamp on that email is 2 -- yes.  One 
minute.  
Q.
So the minute after you -- you received the hand-filled-out 
casualty report for Mollie's death, for killing Mollie, you 
were forwarding Mr. Steib a PPP loan application for him to 
print for you; is that right?  
A.
Yeah, I'm -- I'm able to work on multiple things at the 
same time.  
Q.
And Mr. Steib sent this scan to you, and Mr. Steib sent 
you, then, the hand-completed form, isn't that right, after you 
filled it out, after this?  
A.
If you are talking about the form that you just -- 
Q.
For the PPP.  
A.
I -- I would -- I believe so.

Q.
And publishing Government's Exhibit 80.  This is the email 
that was sent where you are having your PPP loan application 
sent back to you; right?  
A.
I -- that email says nothing.  
Q.
And I'll -- I'll show you the second page so that you can 
see.  So is that right?  
A.
I don't know if those two documents are connected.  
Q.
Okay.  So let me ask you this.  Isn't it right that this 
email was sent at 3:07 p.m.? 
A.
That was sent at 3:07. 
Q.
So 15 minutes after you sent him the PPP loan application 
to complete? 
A.
I would think so.  
Q.
And turning to page 2 of this form that you completed, you 
initialled this form, is that right, at the bottom? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And moving to page 3 of Government's Exhibit 80, isn't it 
right that you emailed next to saying -- or that you 
initialled, rather, next to saying "economic uncertainty makes 
this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations 
of the applicant"?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And that was two days after you said that the business was 
shut down; isn't that right? 
A.
That's -- that's correct.

Q.
And you initialled next to where it says, "The funds will 
be used to retain workers and maintain payroll, to make 
mortgage payments, lease payments," et cetera, two 
days -- three days, rather, after you just texted Mr. Goodman 
that your business was shut down; is that right?  
A.
Yes.  But, again, like I said, the business wasn't 
completely shut down.  I just hadn't been marketing for -- for 
instruction or trips or anything like that.  So it was going to 
take a little bit of time to find students.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  But what I'm asking you is just that, this day 
that's what you swore; right?  
A.
Yeah, that the funds would be used to make the boat 
payment, the lease payments, the utilities. 
Q.
And you signed this document; right?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
You dated the document April 3rd?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And this is right underneath where it -- again, like with 
the Coast Guard form says, that you can be punished for lying 
on this form?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And turning back to page 2 of Government's Exhibit 80, you 
listed $7,300 per month as the payroll for Florida Scuba 
Charters; correct?  
A.
Correct.

A.
Yeah, it was 2 1/2 times your payroll. 
Q.
And here it let's you get $18,250; correct?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you got that number by doing the formula that's on the 
page; right? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
Now, that's on April 3rd.  But on April 9th, so less than a 
week later, you received a Captain of the Port order; is that 
right? 
A.
I believe it was April 9th. 
Q.
And the Captain of the Port order said you weren't allowed 
to operate the vessel; is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you didn't operate the vessel, you testified on direct, 
after this March 9th -- or April 9th, rather, order; correct?  
A.
I did not.  
Q.
And, in fact, by November 2020, the Southern Comfort had 
water in the engine room; is that right? 
A.
At November, I did not -- I don't recall.  
Q.
Now, you did not file this handwritten PPP loan 
application; is that right?  
A.
I don't believe so.  
Q.
But you did file a PPP loan application in May of 2020; is

that correct?  
A.
Is that the first one?  Is that the first 
application -- the application for the first loan?  The one 
that's not included in the indictment?  
Q.
Sir, we will talk about that in a few minutes, but what I'm 
asking right now is, was your first PPP loan application that 
you submitted in May of 2020?  
A.
I believe so.  
Q.
And so I'm going to move to Government's Exhibit 85.  
Mr. McCabe, this is the PPP loan application that you filed in 
May of 2020; is that right?  
A.
It looks like it, yes.  
Q.
And in this application, you stated that your payroll was 
$7,500 per month; correct?  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
That $7,500 per month is $200 per month more than the 
handwritten form that you completed just the month before; is 
that right?  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And you knew, when you completed this form, that the higher 
the payroll amount, the higher the amount of money that you can 
get for this loan; right?  
A.
The formula would state that, yes. 
Q.
And, in fact, you calculated the loan amount yourself; 
right?

A.
I did.  
Q.
And this time you were able to get $18,750; is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And that's $500 more of PPP loans than you would have 
gotten with your April 3rd one; right? 
A.
My utility costs went up.  So that means my payroll had to 
go up.  
Q.
Your utility cost goes up, so, therefore, your payroll 
figure goes up?  That's your testimony? 
A.
I'm a business owner.  I'm able to pay myself.  
Q.
And moving to page 2 of Government's Exhibit 85, you 
initialled next to several things you were affirming, again the 
same stuff from the last application; correct?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And in the first item, you affirmed that you had employees 
you paid salaries; is that right?  
A.
I'm sorry?  
Q.
In the first item here, that you initialled next to, you 
said that you had employees for whom you paid salary or paid 
independent contractors; is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
You affirmed in the second initial that the PPP loan, 
again, was necessary to support ongoing operations; is that 
right? 
A.
That's correct.

Q.
But you heard Ms. Kelly testify last week that Southern -- 
that the -- that Florida Scuba Charters had no payroll; isn't 
that right?  
A.
That's what she said.  
Q.
And is it your testimony today that she was lying about 
that?  
A.
No.  It's her testimony that she didn't pay herself.  
Q.
No, sir.  Her testimony was that she -- that Florida Scuba 
Charters had no payroll; right?  
A.
Because she didn't pay herself.  
Q.
And -- 
A.
She didn't pay us.  She commingled funds.  I don't 
commingle funds, it's illegal. 
Q.
So your testimony is that your wife was doing illegal stuff 
with the money but you were not? 
A.
She didn't pay us a salary.  I paid myself a salary.  And 
so I'm able to -- I'm a business owner.  I can pay myself a 
salary.  
Q.
And you also affirmed in this loan application that you had 
spent the PPP funds on -- that you would spend them on approved 
expenses; right? 
A.
I spent them on a boat payment, slip rent, utilities, 
insurance, on approved expenses, yes. 
Q.
Yes, sir.  But, again, I just need you to answer the 
question I ask.  So I'm just asking about the form.  So it says

that you -- you have to initial that you were going to do that; 
right?  
A.
Yes.  And that's what I did.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  But what -- I'm just asking about what it says 
on the form, if I could just have you just answer that 
question, I would appreciate that.  
So -- and also on this form, like the last one, you 
initialled next to a paragraph about the penalties you would 
face for a false statement; is that right?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And looking at the bottom, you signed this document on 
May 11th of 2020? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And publishing to you Government's Exhibit 121 -- what's 
been admitted as Government's 121, Mr. McCabe, you submitted 
this Schedule C tax document in support of your application for 
this first PPP loan; right? 
A.
I don't recall.  
Q.
You were sitting there last week when the witness from this 
bank testified that this document was submitted with the loan 
application; right?  
A.
I was at the table.  
Q.
And you heard that person testify to that?  
A.
I do, but I'm not sure if this is the same document or not.  
Q.
So are you saying that that person was mistaken?

I -- I'm not saying anything.  I'm saying that I don't have 
any way to tell if this is the same document that was submitted 
or if it's not.  
Q.
And -- but you admit that this document was never submitted 
to the IRS?  
A.
The -- again, Kristy did the -- the taxes.  And if this 
wasn't included in my business tax return, then I -- I don't 
know.  I haven't seen my 2019 business tax returns in five 
years.  So I don't know if it was or if it wasn't. 
Q.
And isn't it right that you were sitting at counsel table 
when Ms. Kelly testified that she had never seen this document 
in her life? 
A.
I -- I was -- I was at the table.  I don't recall what she 
said.  
Q.
Is it your testimony that she would be lying about that?  
A.
I don't recall what she said.  
Q.
But you're saying that you did not submit this document? 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection.  Asked and answered.  
THE COURT:  Sustained.  Next question.  
BY MR. KELLER:  
Q.
And directing your attention to line 31 of Government's 
Exhibit 121.  Mr. McCabe, on this document you have stated that 
Florida Scuba had $90,000 of net profit or loss; is that 
correct?  
A.
That's what line 31 says.

Q.
But you, Florida Scuba, did not have $90,000 in profit in 
2019; is that right?  
A.
I -- it's been five years since I saw this or had the books 
open from -- from 2019.  So I don't -- I wouldn't recall. 
Q.
So you just don't remember whether Florida Scuba Charters 
made $90,000 in profit in 2019?  
A.
I -- it's very possible that we did, but I have no -- I 
don't recall.  It's been five years.  
Q.
And you were sitting at counsel table when Ms. Kelly 
testified that there is no way that Florida Scuba made that 
amount of money; right?  
A.
That's -- I'm not sure if that's what she said, but I was 
at the table, yes.  
Q.
Were you sitting there when she said that she would 
remember paying taxes on this amount?  
A.
The -- I was at the table.  I don't remember if that's what 
she said.  
Q.
But your testimony is that she would be lying about that if 
that's what she said? 
A.
I -- I'm saying I don't recall what she said.  
Q.
And shifting gears to Government's Exhibit 100G.  
Mr. McCabe, y'all looked at this on direct; right? 
A.
That is the May bank statement from Florida Scuba Charters, 
yes.  
Q.
And this is the month when you got the first PPP loan

deposit; correct?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And turning to page 2.  Y'all said on direct that this 
18,750 is the deposit for that PPP loan; right?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And immediately after that, you did eight transfers of 
$1,875; is that right? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
You made all those transfers the next day? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And you labeled them as payroll for given weeks; right?  
A.
Because that's what they were.  
Q.
But isn't it right that you had never transferred money you 
listed as payroll in this business account ever before? 
A.
That we had never -- I'm sorry?  
Q.
That this is the first time in this bank account that you 
ever did transfers like this, that you listed as payroll?  
A.
That's -- we probably didn't do transfers.  We -- we took 
cash if -- we took cash from our trips and used that as our 
payroll.  There is a hundred ways we could have paid ourselves, 
but... 
Q.
And, again, sir, I'm just -- if you could just answer my 
question.  So my question is:  Isn't it right that you have 
never done a transfer where you listed on the memo line 
"payroll" like this before that first PPP loan?

A.
To say the word "never" is an absolute phrase.  I don't 
know.  
Q.
Now, after you transferred these funds, isn't it right that 
you began writing checks to yourself in cash?  
A.
I did write checks to myself.  
Q.
And publishing Government's Exhibit 117.  You wrote 
yourself a $900 check; is that right?  
A.
Okay.  Yes.  
Q.
And you transferred this money to your personal bank 
account; is that right?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And going to Government's Exhibit 115, and looking at the 
second page, isn't it right that when you transferred this 
money to yourself, to your personal account, you only had $46 
in that account? 
A.
That's not the only account that I had.  
Q.
But, again, my question is, for this account, isn't it 
right that you only had $46? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And publishing Government's Exhibit 118.  Isn't it right 
that, then, on July 7th of 2020, you wrote yourself a check for 
$4,000?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And turning to Government's Exhibit 119.  On September 4th 
of 2020, you wrote yourself a check for $2,700; is that right?

A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And then, finally, on October 7th -- October 6th of 2020, 
you wrote yourself another check for $700; is that right?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And that's $8,300 in checks that you wrote to yourself; 
right? 
A.
I don't know the math.  I didn't add it up.  But if your 
math is correct, then that would be right.  
Q.
And isn't it right that these are the first checks you had 
written to yourself, in cash like this, from this business 
account?  
A.
Again, there -- you're looking at a three- or four-month 
period, when the account was open from '14 to -- to 2020.  So I 
can't say if that's the first time ever.  
Q.
But that's not what I'm asking, sir.  I'm just asking, in 
this account, which Ms. Kelly had testified is the only bank 
account y'all had opened, Florida Scuba Charters, were these 
the first checks to cash you had written to yourself?  
A.
Again, I don't -- I don't recall if they're the first or if 
they're not the first.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  So after this first PPP loan, so I have brought 
us to October, you transferred the Southern Comfort to Steve 
Poznak in November of 2020; is that right?  
A.
I believe that's when he did that, yes.  
Q.
And Mr. Poznak did not pay you anything for this boat; is

that right?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And, in fact, he testified that he had to take it because 
he owed money on the boat because you weren't paying for it; is 
that right?  
A.
That's what he said but that's not what I -- I -- I don't 
know.  I never got any kind of documentation from any of the 
lenders, so I'm not -- I'm not sure what he received.  
Q.
Well, sir, you would know if you were paying for the boat; 
right?  
A.
I was.  So -- but I don't know what he received from the 
lender.  It was never presented or it was never -- he never 
told me about it, he never showed me any documentation, and you 
didn't have it here.  
Q.
So, sir, are you testifying that Mr. Poznak didn't lose 
$100,000 on this boat like he testified?  
A.
I -- I would have no idea about that.  
Q.
Now, after you transferred the Southern Comfort, after you 
lost that boat, you no longer had a boat to do scuba charters 
with; right? 
A.
No, I had to go back to my original career, which was 
teaching golf. 
Q.
But you did file for another PPP loan for this Florida 
Scuba Charters business in February of 2021; right?  
A.
Yeah, because I was teaching golf and I was still teaching

diving and different courses and taking people on trips.  
Q.
Sir, again, when I'm asking you a question, if you would 
just answer my question.  I understand that you want to talk 
about other things, but you're going to have the opportunity on 
the redirect to do that.  
So when I ask you, you filed for another PPP loan in 
February 2021 for Florida Scuba Charters, is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
Okay.  Thank you.  
And so now I will turn to Government's Exhibit 91.  And I'm 
going to direct your attention, Mr. McCabe, to page 3.  This is 
the second PPP loan application that you submitted; is that 
right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And in the second PPP loan, you listed your monthly payroll 
as $8,167 per month; is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you testified on direct that this is a higher payroll 
than you'd listed in the year before; is that right?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
The year before you had listed $7,500 as your monthly 
payroll, and now it's bumped up more than $600; is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And so, after losing your boat for your Florida Scuba 
business, your testimony and your statement here is that you

somehow had higher payroll? 
A.
I was still making -- I was still making payments.  I still 
had -- I still had payroll.  
Q.
And -- 
A.
I was still paying myself.  I was -- still had -- I still 
had the same expenses, they were $654 higher. 
Q.
And multiplying by 2.5, that's more than $1,500 extra in 
loan money you got for the second loan compared to the first 
one; right? 
A.
I would -- I would have to do the math, but I would 
imagine. 
Q.
And you listed this higher amount because you knew that you 
would get more money for it; right?  
A.
I listed the higher amount because that's what it was, the 
expenses for the month.  
Q.
And going from your April form with $7,300 to now 8,100, 
your payroll has gone up almost a thousand dollars within a 
year; is that right? 
A.
My expenses went up.  
Q.
And directing your attention to the middle of page 3 of 
this document, you claim on the -- on this form that Florida 
Scuba made $68,400 in gross receipts in the third quarter of 
2019; correct?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you listed that number?

I -- I would think so.  
Q.
But you made -- Florida Scuba made nothing like that in the 
third quarter of 2019; isn't that right?  
A.
No, that's not right. 
Q.
So -- 
A.
I did make that.  
Q.
And you heard Kristy Kelly testify last week that Florida 
Scuba made nothing like that, didn't you?  
A.
I don't recall what she said, but she wouldn't -- she 
wouldn't know.  
Q.
Did you just block out her testimony?  Like you've 
forgotten all of it?  
A.
She is my ex-wife.  
Q.
And on page 4 of Government's Exhibit 91, you initialled 
next to a bunch of things you were affirming, just like in the 
first loan; is that right? 
A.
That is correct. 
Q.
You again swore that the loan was for an ongoing business 
in February 2021; right?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
You again swore that the loan was necessary to continue 
operations; is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
You again swore that you would use the PPP funds for 
approved payroll and business expenses; is that right?

And you again signed the document, on page 5 of this 
exhibit, on February 2nd of 2021; is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And for this application -- I'm going to publish 
Government's Exhibit 93.  You submitted this tax document; 
isn't that right? 
A.
I -- it's -- I don't know.  Just like the last tax 
document, I don't know if this is what was submitted or not.  
Q.
You were the one who submitted the application; correct?  
A.
I did submit the application.  This might not be the same 
form. 
Q.
So your testimony is that the bank has some different 
record than what you actually submitted? 
A.
I'm saying that I -- there is no way for me to know if this 
is what was submitted.  It's not stamped by the bank.  It's not 
signed.  It's -- there is no way of knowing.  
Q.
And looking at page -- or at line 13 of this document, here 
in the middle, this document says $90,000 in salaries; right? 
A.
That's what it says.  
Q.
And at the top of the document, this says Florida Scuba 
Charters, Incorporated, doesn't it? 
A.
That's what it says.  
Q.
It lists 803 Promenade Way, Number 104, as the address; is 
that right?

A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And is that the correct address?  
A.
I don't know if that was my address back then or not.  
Q.
Was this ever your address for Florida Scuba Charters?  
A.
Not for the company.  That's my personal address.  
Q.
That's your personal address.  
So is it your testimony that someone else made up this 
document?  
A.
No.  I couldn't get mail at the marina, where the marina 
is.  So that would -- that could have been my address, but I 
don't know if it was my address when that was filled out.  I 
had moved a couple of times down in Jupiter.  So...  
Q.
Sir, that's not the question I'm asking you.  What I'm 
asking you is:  You testified that you don't -- can't say for 
sure if this is your tax record; right? 
A.
There is no way of knowing if that's my tax record; it's 
not stamped or signed. 
Q.
Yes, sir, so your testimony is you can't say for sure? 
A.
I can't say for sure. 
Q.
So you heard the bank say that this was what came with 
them.  Is it your testimony that someone else made up this 
document, someone besides you? 
A.
No, that's not my testimony.  My testimony is that I can't 
determine whether or not that is the actual document or not.  
Q.
And you would agree that a tax document that came with the

bank application would have been submitted by you; right? 
A.
If they asked for it.  
Q.
And looking at this $90,000 number on payroll for 2020, 
that just so happens to match the amount that you had said that 
you get from multiplying what you listed the year before, 
$7,500, times 12; is that right?  
A.
I would imagine that's the right math if -- I don't 
have -- I don't -- I don't have a calculator in front of me, so 
I would imagine, if that's what the math equals, then yes. 
Q.
So you listed on this form this exact same payroll 
information that you claimed in the last PPP loan application; 
is that right?  
A.
The -- if that's what the math equals then, yeah.  
Q.
And this was all for 2020, the year that you killed Mollie; 
is that right?  You're claiming to have had this type of 
income?  
A.
The -- that is for the -- if that's a tax document for 2020 
then, yes.  
Q.
And turning to Government's Exhibit 100P, Mr. McCabe, this 
is your Florida Scuba Charters bank statement for February of 
2021; is that right?  
A.
It looks like it, yes. 
Q.
And turning to page 2 of Government's Exhibit 100P, this 
shows where your Florida Scuba account received the PPP loan 
proceeds; right?

Q.
You received $20,385 of PPP loan proceeds on February 9th 
of 2021; is that right?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And the balance before that deposit was $539; is that 
right? 
A.
That's what it says.  
Q.
And you cashed out more than $18,000 of those -- of that 
$20,000 PPP loan by the end of the month; is that right?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Publishing Government's Exhibit 101.  Mr. McCabe, you wrote 
yourself a $9,500 check right after you got this PPP deposit; 
is that right?  
A.
For payroll, yes.  
Q.
And that's what you labeled it as, as payroll; is that 
right?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And that's the first check you had written yourself where 
you labeled it as payroll like this; is that right?  
A.
I can't determine -- I don't know if that's the first one.  
Q.
If the jury goes back there and looks at these other bank 
records, are they going to see any other check that has 
"payroll" written on it like that? 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection.  Calls for speculation. 
THE COURT:  Sustained.  Next question.

BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
And after this check, you wrote yourself another one for 
$8,774; is that right? 
A.
I believe that was the number on the statement.  
Q.
And that's the one that you paid to the PGA members club 
right; right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
Publishing Government's Exhibit 99.  This is the check that 
you wrote just a couple of weeks after getting the second PPP 
loan to the PGA members club; is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And this gave you membership to a country club; is that 
right? 
A.
It did.  
Q.
And turning to Government's Exhibit 111, this is the 
loan -- this is the PGA members application that you filled out 
in January of 2020; right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you initially submitted it in January 2020, but you 
didn't pay for it then; right?  
A.
I don't -- I'm not sure when -- 
Q.
You don't remember when you paid $8,700 for a golf club 
membership? 
A.
I don't remember if it was -- that's January of 2020, is 
when that was dated, but I'm not sure if that's when

name; is that right? 
A.
That is correct. 
Q.
And what -- and you wrote that it's a charter business? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
You didn't write that it was giving dive instructions; 
right?  
A.
Florida Scuba Charters is -- dive instruction is part of 
that. 
Q.
Sir, I'm just asking, you didn't write on this form that 
you gave dive instructions; is that right? 
A.
It didn't ask for what all we did.  It asked for the type 
of business.  
Q.
You didn't write on this form that you were giving golf 
lessons, did you?  
A.
That was the business name.  I didn't have a business name 
for my golf lessons.  
Q.
Sir, again, I just need you to answer my questions.  So if 
I say, did you write golf instructor -- 
THE COURT:  Counsel, he can answer the question and 
provide context.  Next question.  
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor. 
BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
And you paid for this application in February 2021; right?

Q.
And just -- 
A.
I'm not sure why I would have filled out the application a 
year earlier.  
Q.
And so going to page 6, would one reason be that you didn't 
have the money when you initially wanted to apply?  
A.
No.  That wouldn't be the reason.  
Q.
And is it right that this 2/19 at the bottom right-hand 
corner matches the date that you wrote the check in 2021?  
A.
I would imagine.  
Q.
And going back to page 1 of Government's Exhibit 111, isn't 
it right that this was to get access to the golf association 
and the fitness center? 
A.
That was to get access to the club so I could teach.  
Q.
And moving past February of 2021, isn't it right that you 
dissolved Florida Scuba Charters on May 13th of 2021?  
A.
That sounds about right.  
Q.
And I will just show you Government's Exhibit 103.  Doesn't 
this show that you dissolved the company on May 13th of 2021?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And showing you Government's Exhibit 102.  The state of 
Florida recognized that you dissolved the company Florida Scuba 
Charters on May 13th of 2021 as well; correct? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
Now, you submitted two PPP loan forgiveness applications

after dissolving the company; is that right?  
A.
I believe so.  That was perfectly allowed by the PPP 
regulations.  
Q.
And your submitting the loan forgiveness applications is 
what made those loans free money for you; right?  
A.
They were -- 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection to the form of the question.  
THE COURT:  Overruled.  Answer the question.  
THE WITNESS:  I wouldn't call it -- saying free money 
is -- it was what the program was intended for.  Oh, I did what 
the -- I did what the program was allowed. 
BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
And you submitted your first PPP loan forgiveness 
application the day after you dissolved Florida Scuba Charters; 
is that right?  
A.
As I said, the regulations for the PPP program allowed it. 
Q.
Yes, sir, but it's a yes or a no question.  So is it right 
that you submitted your first PPP loan forgiveness application 
the day after you dissolved Florida Scuba Charters? 
A.
I don't recall the date that I submitted that form.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  So I will show you.  And I will publish 
Government's Exhibit 87 to the witness and to the jury, what's 
been admitted into evidence.  
Mr. McCabe, this is the first PPP loan forgiveness 
application you submitted; right?

A.
That is the first loan -- that is the loan application that 
was submitted, but that is not the application that was used to 
obtain the forgiveness.  
Q.
So you're saying that this -- there is a different 
application out there is your testimony? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And you were sitting here last week when the bank testified 
that this is the forgiveness application that they approved? 
A.
This is the one that they sent me.  But this is the one 
that got kicked back and said that I had to use a different 
form.  
Q.
Sir, this application is for a loan for $18,750; correct? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And in this loan application, you say that you have five 
employees at the time you filed the original loan application; 
is that right?  
A.
That's what it -- that's what this form says.  That's what 
I was instructed to do by the guy at Celtic Bank. 
Q.
And that's what you testified about on direct; correct?  
A.
Correct.  I did as instructed.  But, again, this is not the 
form that was used to obtain forgiveness.  
Q.
And you claim here that you have five employees at the time 
of the forgiveness application; is that right?  
A.
Well, the gentleman at Celtic Bank said that if I were 
to -- if I were to open and be able to run a charter or do

whatever I needed to do tomorrow, how many of my crew would 
come back.  I said five, all of them.  He said that's what you 
should put down.  
Q.
And this is some person whose -- who gave you information 
that's different than what the bank representative testified to 
last week?  
A.
I believe the bank representative guy that was here last 
week was not the one on the telephone.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  So your testimony is that you talked to someone 
at the bank who said to do something completely different than 
what the bank representative testified to last week?  
A.
Uh-huh.  I was told -- I did as instructed from the bank.  
Q.
But you would agree with me that you listed that you have 
five employees at the time of this application when, in fact, 
you had dissolved the company the day before? 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection.  Asked and answered.  
THE COURT:  Overruled.  Answer the question.  
THE WITNESS:  Again, I was -- done as I was -- the 
gentleman on the phone knew that the company was dissolved, he 
knew all of the details about what the -- what the status of 
the company was, and he told me that during the time period how 
many people -- how many crew did you have?  I said five.  He 
said put five.  I did as instructed.  
BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
Would you agree with me that a dissolved corporation has no

employees? 
A.
He said to put five, I put five.  He knew all of the 
information. 
Q.
Sir, again, I just need you to answer the question that I 
asked.  So I'm just asking if you will agree with me that a 
dissolved corporation has no employees?  
A.
At the time that -- if you're talking about the day after 
it's dissolved, no.  But if you're talking about a time period, 
then it could have.  
Q.
I'm talking about the day after it was dissolved.  No 
employees; correct?  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
Okay.  Thank you.  
And, now, you testified on direct that you were using these 
PPP funds for -- for the slip, for insurance, for gas; is that 
right? 
A.
Not for fuel, but for the approved expenses.  
Q.
But isn't it right that on this form you say that you spent 
every nickel of it on payroll costs?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
That's every dollar of your PPP loan on payroll, on this 
form; correct? 
A.
So my slip rent, the utilities, the boat loan, the 
insurance, all of my -- all of my expenses were in a personal 
name.  And you cannot use a business account to pay personal

expenses, so I had to pay myself and then make all of those 
payments through my personal accounts.  
Q.
And you state in this form that you paid that amount, the 
$18,750, in just payroll between May and October of 2020; 
right? 
A.
I paid myself between those dates.  
Q.
And I want to address just when you talked about 
how -- where -- what's charged in the indictment.  So on these 
forgiveness applications, isn't it right that you reaffirm 
getting the PPP loan and complying with all of its regulations 
in securing the loan here at this first initial?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And, again, like with the first loan application, you 
initialled next to where it says you can be punished for false 
statements?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And then moving to the second PPP loan forgiveness 
application, you filled that one out in August of 2021; is that 
right?  
A.
I'm not sure of the date.  
MR. KELLER:  I will publish to the witness and to the 
jury what's been admitted as Government's Exhibit 98.  
BY MR. KELLER:  
Q.
Mr. McCabe, this is the second PPP loan forgiveness 
application you filed; correct?

A.
That is correct.  
Q.
And this is the one for $20,385; correct? 
A.
That is correct.  
Q.
And like with the last forgiveness application, you swore 
on this form that you had five employees at the time of the 
forgiveness application; correct?  
A.
Like on the last application, this is not the one that was 
used for forgiveness.  
Q.
So you're claiming that the bank representatives were just 
wrong about using these forms? 
A.
I'm saying I got an automated email from them that said 
this is the form you fill out.  Loan forgiveness applications 
are due.  These are the forms you fill out.  I filled out that 
form.  It gets kicked back to me.  A bank representative called 
and said, because on your application you put 0 or 1 employee, 
you have to use a different form.  
And so this is not the form that was used in the 
forgiveness.  So it doesn't matter how many employees were on 
there because it's not -- it's -- it's garbage.  
Q.
So your testimony is it doesn't matter whether you were 
honest on this form because it doesn't matter and this form was 
never used? 
A.
That form is -- that form was never used.  It wasn't the 
form that they used to make a decision for loan forgiveness. 
Q.
And you claim in this form, like the last one, that you

spent all of the loan on payroll again; correct?  
A.
I had to pay myself, yes.  
Q.
And that was after you had written a check to the PGA golf 
club for $8,774; correct? 
A.
My membership to the PGA golf club was paid for by a Harley 
crash.  I was hit by a fire truck on Blue Heron Boulevard. 
Q.
Again, sir, just with -- my question is:  This -- you 
filled this out after the $8,774 check; correct? 
A.
I believe so. 
Q.
Thank you.  
And like with the other forms, you initialled next to where 
it says you could be punished for lying on the form, and you 
signed it; correct?  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
Okay.  
A.
But, again, that wasn't the form used for forgiveness. 
Q.
Yes, sir.  So I want to shift gears and move from the PPP 
loans, which the jury may appreciate, to talking about being a 
captain of a vessel.  
So on direct, y'all didn't talk as much about this, but I 
just want to ask, Mr. McCabe, you would agree with me that the 
captain of a vessel is responsible for the vessel being in 
proper working order; correct?  
A.
Not necessarily.  If the vessel has a full-time mechanic, 
then that's who it would be.  But on my particular vessel, yes.

Q.
So on your particular vessel, you were responsible for the 
vessel being in proper working order? 
A.
That's correct. 
Q.
And your testimony is that, in general, the witnesses from 
the Coast Guard who testified last week about the captain being 
responsible were wrong?  
A.
Well, if you take a boat that's 300 feet long, it's going 
to have an entire crew that's -- deals with maintenance, the 
captain is not going to have anything to do with it.  
Q.
But that's -- my question is, isn't it right that the 
captain is responsible? 
A.
No, not -- it depends on the vessel.  As I said, it depends 
on the vessel.  
Q.
And so your testimony is the people who testified last week 
to the exact opposite were all wrong? 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection.  Asked and answered.  
THE COURT:  Sustained.  
Let's move on, Counsel. 
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor. 
MR. KELLER:
Q.
You would agree with me, Mr. McCabe, that the owner of a 
vessel is responsible for the vessel being in proper working 
order as well; correct?  
A.
The owner of the vessel would make the payments.  You are 
asking very broad questions, when it doesn't -- it needs to be

more specific.  The owner -- the owner of the M/V Aquarius is 
Steve Wynn.  He is not responsible for the condition of that 
vessel; his entire maintenance crew is.  
So it -- which vessel are you talking about?  How many 
people?  How big is it?  It's -- all matters.  On a smaller 
vessel, the owner, if the owner is the captain, if the owner is 
there, then, yeah, they're going to be responsible.  On a 
bigger vessel, then no, they're not.  If you have a -- do you 
have a maintenance crew?  Do you not have a maintenance crew?  
So it needs to be a more specific question.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  So I'm actually just going to move us on from 
that question.  Let me ask you this:  When someone helps a 
captain fix a vessel, or even fixes it for the captain, isn't 
it right that the captain is responsible for the vessel 
actually being fixed and in proper working order? 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection.  Your Honor.  This is 
outside the scope of any direct examination.  
THE COURT:  I will see the parties at sidebar. 
(Conference at bench.) 
THE COURT:  All right.  What's your objection?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  It's outside the scope.  I never once 
asked a question about whose responsibility it is for 
maintenance on a boat, whether it's captain versus owner.  
Those questions never came out of my mouth.  The word 
"responsibility," I never used once on direct.

THE COURT:  Right.  Right.  Right.  But you are taking 
quite a narrow view.  You did introduce subject matter about 
this mechanic on the vessel and things of that nature.  So 
wouldn't it be appropriate, reasonably, within the bounds of 
that testimony, to talk about who is ultimately in charge, even 
if a mechanic is on the vessel?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  I think that's up to Your Honor.  I 
know my -- my -- my view is that it really wasn't elicited from 
me on direct, other than very generally.  And the government's 
going very specifically and repetitively over, you know, who is 
responsible.  He has answered the question. 
THE COURT:  All right.  Mr. Keller. 
MR. KELLER:  I think that he acknowledges that this 
goes to the heart of what their testimony is primarily about, 
which is the responsibility of this defendant for what happened 
on that boat.  I'm sorry.
THE COURT:  Finish up.  
MR. KELLER:  Just to say that, almost all of his 
testimony concerned whether and what happened on that boat.  
Here we're talking about seaman's manslaughter.  We should be 
able to establish whether he was responsible, whether he 
himself testifies that he was responsible.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  I'm going to overrule the objection.  
I do think that this is permissible cross based on the subject 
matter raised during direct.  But, Mr. Keller, try not to beat

a dead horse so we can move this along. 
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor.  
THE COURT:  Thank you. 
(Conference at bench concluded.) 
THE COURT:  One moment, Counsel.  
All right.  The objection is overruled.  This is the 
question you shall answer:  When someone helps a captain fix a 
vessel, or even fixes it for the captain, isn't it right that 
the captain is responsible for the vessel actually being fixed 
and in proper working order?  
THE WITNESS:  Again, that depends on the vessel.  
BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
And isn't it right that a captain is responsible for 
warning passengers of known hazards?  
A.
It depends on the vessel.  
Q.
And you -- 
A.
The captain of a cruise ship never speaks to the 
passengers.  
Q.
And you were sitting at counsel table last week when all of 
the Coast Guard witnesses and even the passengers testified 
that a captain is responsible for the safety of their vessel; 
right?  
A.
Oh, they're also speaking in -- they're making an 
assumption of everything.  You're speaking in too broad of a 
term, so be a little more specific as to the type of vessel,

and you will get a little bit better answers.  If you're just 
saying vessels, then, no, the captain of a cruise ship is not 
responsible for that.  The captain of a huge -- of a huge 
yacht, the captain of even a small yacht is not -- is not 
responsible for that.  
Q.
So it's your testimony that those Coast Guard witnesses 
were wrong and being overbroad?  
A.
They were being overbroad.  
Q.
And a captain of a vessel with paying passengers has to 
report incidents to the Coast Guard when they qualify as a 
marine casualty; is that right? 
A.
If it qualifies, yes.  
Q.
And when a marine casualty is reportable to the 
Coast Guard, that report is supposed to be made immediately or, 
you know, right after dealing with an emergent -- an emergency; 
is that right?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And you know what a marine casualty is? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
You learned about marine casualties during your merchant 
mariner training?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And you reported killing Mollie Ghiz-Flynn; right?  
A.
I reported -- 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection to the form of the question.

BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
You -- you reported, as a marine casualty, killing Mollie 
Ghiz-Flynn; correct? 
A.
I reported the incident.  
Q.
And a captain who experiences a loss or a modification of 
propulsion needs to report that to the Coast Guard; isn't that 
right?  
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And a captain who experiences a loss of steerage needs to 
report that to the Coast Guard; isn't that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And a captain who experiences an unintended grounding is 
required to report that to the Coast Guard; correct?  
A.
That would be correct.  
Q.
And a captain who experiences an intended grounding after a 
loss of steerage or propulsion needs to report that to the 
Coast Guard as well; is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you knew all of these things on March 28th of 2020; 
correct?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And when something is reported to the Coast Guard, one of 
these marine casualties, they investigate; is that right?

MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection.  Calls for speculation.  
THE COURT:  Overruled.  
THE WITNESS:  It depends on the -- depends on the 
inspector.  The inspector that was at Marine Safety Detachment 
Lake Worth before Inspector Goodman would -- he wanted a -- I 
could text him a photo, and he would tell me if it was okay or 
if it was not.  So it depends on the inspector.  
BY MR. KELLER:  
Q.
And your Florida Scuba Charters business was tailored to 
providing scuba charters; is that right? 
A.
Among other things. 
Q.
And "scuba" is literally in the name; right? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And captaining scuba charters was your specialty at this 
business; right? 
A.
That's what I did. 
Q.
And you had been doing it since at least 2014, when this 
happened in 2020; right? 
A.
Correct. 
Q.
So for about six years you had been captaining scuba 
charters; right? 
A.
That's correct. 
Q.
And as a boat captain for a scuba charter business, you 
knew on March 28th and 29th, 2020, the hazards of scuba diving; 
right?

A.
That's correct. 
Q.
On March 28th of 2020, you knew that divers get back on the 
boat on a scuba trip from the -- from the back, right near the 
propellers; correct? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
On March 28th of 2020, you knew that propellers are a set 
of metal blades fixed to a shaft that spin to make the boat go 
forward and backward; right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And as a captain of a scuba charter vessel, you would give 
divers and divemasters a signal that it was safe to approach 
before they reboarded your scuba diving boat; correct? 
A.
I didn't.  The crew did. 
Q.
You would give the crew a notification; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And you gave that notification because you knew that the 
propellers on the boat were dangerous; correct?  
A.
I told -- I gave the crew the okay.  The crew would tell 
them that because the boat was in the correct position and the 
boat was in neutral, yes.  
Q.
But the reason you did it is because the propellers are 
dangerous; right?  
A.
Not the sole reason.  
Q.
But was -- is a reason; correct? 
A.
Correct.

Q.
And you know that propellers present a much greater danger 
to scuba passengers than they do to passengers for activities 
like staying -- like fishing or other activities that involve 
staying on a boat; right? 
A.
That would be correct.  
Q.
And you know that having the propulsion system or -- in 
neutral or turned off entirely is important because passengers 
need to be safe from the propeller when they board; correct? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you know and you knew, as a boat captain on March 28th 
of 2020, that there -- if there was a malfunction with the 
propeller, that it would present a greater danger to scuba 
divers than to other types of passengers because they get back 
on the boat near the propeller; correct? 
A.
Repeat the question.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  
So you knew, as a scuba charter captain, that if there was 
a malfunction with the propeller, that it presented a greater 
danger to scuba divers on your boat than it would to other 
types of passengers, like a fishing passenger, because they get 
near the propellers; correct?  
A.
That is correct.  
Q.
And you know that, as an operator of a scuba boat, it was 
even more important for you to be sure that your propulsion 
system didn't have any malfunctions because of that danger;

A.
That is correct.  
Q.
And you knew, as a scuba passenger -- or as a scuba charter 
operator, that malfunctions in the propulsion system on a scuba 
dive could lead to serious injury or even death of passengers; 
correct?  
A.
The -- that's correct.  
Q.
And you knew that on March 28th and 29th of 2020; correct?  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
Now I want to talk about those two trips, and I want to 
start with a couple questions about the Southern Comfort.  So 
when you bought the Southern Comfort, it was a sport fish, you 
said on direct; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And you bought the items you talked about on direct.  You 
bought dive benches, a platform, a ladder, stuff to refit the 
Southern Comfort for scuba diving; correct?  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And you talked about removing throttle controls from the 
lower portion on the boat; is that right? 
A.
Uh-huh. 
Q.
And showing the witness and the jury Government's 
Exhibit 68, this is where you removed the controls; correct?  
A.
That was the lower helm station, yes.  
Q.
And you testified on direct that this helm station doesn't

communicate with the other set of engine controls; correct? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you testified that once you got rid of these, that that 
was no big deal because they don't communicate with anything 
else; correct?  
A.
They are independent of all the other systems. 
Q.
Okay.  And do you remember giving a statement to the 
Coast Guard, a recorded statement the same day as the death of 
Ms. Ghiz-Flynn? 
A.
I was -- yes. 
Q.
Do you remember talking about these engine controls and 
removing them?  
A.
No.  
MR. KELLER:  Your Honor, at this time I would like to 
publish -- and I don't want to admit this into evidence.  I 
just want to use it for impeachment purposes -- Mr. McCabe's 
prior statement.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  I am going to object, Your Honor.  
First of all, it's outside the scope and it's improper 
impeachment. 
THE COURT:  All right.  We are going to take a break, 
so the jury can stretch its legs and use the facilities for 
15 minutes.  
All rise for the jury.  
(The jury exited the courtroom at 3:30 p.m.)

THE COURT:  Mr. McCabe, for now you can return to 
counsel table, please.  
All right.  What's your response, Mr. Keller?  
The gallery members can remain seated or exit the 
courtroom.  
MR. KELLER:  The first thing I want to note is that 
this is Government's Exhibit 52, that the defense has had 
access to this record for a long time.  They even anticipated 
that we would be using it in our case in chief.  
Our response is, number one, that Mr. McCabe literally 
testified about the removal of the throttle controls on direct 
and -- sorry -- and I just didn't know -- and told the jury 
that it didn't make a difference by removing them.  
And here, in this statement, this sworn statement that 
he gave to the -- the FWC and the Coast Guard, the day of, he 
said the exact opposite; that the removal of the controls had 
caused problems, including his starboard engine not being able 
to go into reverse.  
So our position is that I should be able to, and be 
permitted to, publish about a minute and a half of this, where 
he is asked this exact question about the engine controls and 
he gives this completely different answer from what he said on 
direct.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  Mr. O'Sullivan. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Judge, on direct Mr. McCabe testified

to the removal of cables.  He never testified about giving a 
statement to the Coast Guard.  This statement, from what I 
remember of this exhibit, is referring to, first of all, a 
different engine.  So it's going to be confusing to the jury 
because we're not even talking about the same engine.  
Second of all, during my direct I never asked if he 
made prior statements to the Coast Guard.  No testimony was 
elicited from Mr. McCabe that he made a statement five years 
ago to the Coast Guard regarding this specific engine -- or 
specific issue of engine controls.  So not only is it outside 
the scope -- 
THE COURT:  But hold on.  You agree that during direct 
he testified about altering the controls and the cables; 
correct?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Removing.  Removing the cables --
THE COURT:  All right.  And you -- 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  -- but not a statement. 
THE COURT:  And you agree that he testified that such 
an alteration or modification had no effect on the vehicle in 
his view; correct?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  That is correct. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  So then why wouldn't it be perfectly 
within the scope of direct to ask questions about his prior 
statements on those exact topics?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Because I never talked about a

Coast Guard statement.  I think Mr. Keller has free rein to 
talk about his testimony, but not to a prior statement that I 
did not question him on direct.  It's -- by definition, it's 
outside the scope of direct.  
THE COURT:  All right.  Mr. Keller, final argument. 
MR. KELLER:  Just that, Judge, I have laid the 
foundation for this.  I -- I reiterated to him, this was your 
testimony on direct, and he says, Yes, that was my testimony.  
So I should be permitted to play a statement where he says the 
opposite.  It affects his credibility.  
And it also affects -- and this is one thing that, kind 
of, makes it even more important in this particular instance, 
it's -- not only affects his credibility, but also lies at the 
heart of this case, because this issue is central to what 
happened here.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  I'm going to overrule the objection 
for the reasons stated by Mr. Keller.  I think the subject 
matter on direct is closely related to the statements by the 
defendant in a prior statement, giving the -- given the 
inconsistencies identified.  I disagree that it's outside the 
scope.  And I also agree with Mr. Keller that it is quite 
relevant to Mr. McCabe's credibility.  
So for those reasons, you may play that portion of the 
exhibit.  Make sure, over the break, to identify which exact 
segment you're using.  We will be in recess for five minutes.

A.
That was on March 29, 2020.  But it was not to the 
Coast Guard.  I believe you were mistaken.  That was to FWC.
Q.
Yes, sir.  And weren't Coast Guard, eight officers, present 
for this? 
A.
I'm not sure.  They were present for some of them.  
Present -- not present for some of them.  But David Fowler 
works for FWC. 
Q.
Yes, sir.  And in this statement, you acknowledge that 
removing throttle controls can have an effect on the way the

engine operates; right? 
A.
Not necessarily all of the details.  When I said that they 
needed to be adjusted, when I put the boat in reverse, 
they -- that particular boat in reverse goes 1,700 RPMs.  When 
I was putting it into reverse, I was only getting like 1,550, 
or somewhere in there.  So it just needed to be tweaked tiny 
to -- to make sure that I was getting full RPMs.
And I don't -- and I'm -- I don't know if it was doing that 
before or after I removed them.  It could have been doing it 
before.  There is no way to determine that.  But it was never 
inspected. 
Q.
But, sir, in this statement you just said that when you 
removed the controls, it messes with how the system works, and 
that because of that, the engine wasn't working properly; 
correct?  
A.
That's -- that's the jist of the words, but that wasn't the 
meaning.  The meaning is that I wasn't getting full RPMs in 
reverse, and I needed to -- I needed to figure out how to get 
full RPMs in a reverse. 
Q.
And you would agree with me that removing throttle controls 
can cause a boat like the Southern Comfort to have its engine 
not work properly now?  You agree with that; right? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Okay.  So even though you said it on March 29th, you no 
longer agree with it?

A.
I don't agree with your question.  And there is no way to 
determine whether or not removing those cables caused any 
problem or not.  That would -- I would imagine that that 
particular helm station didn't get into full reverse from the 
day that I got it.  
Q.
Yes, sir.  But my question is not whether you know it for 
certain.  My question is whether it's possible.  You testified 
before that it couldn't possibly happen because they don't talk 
to each other.  But now are you testifying that actually it can 
alter the way that the engine controls work?  
A.
No, it's not possible.  They're totally separate of each 
other. 
Q.
And you were sitting at counsel table last week when Allan 
Roth and Sandra Brammeier testified that removing throttle 
controls, like you did, absolutely could cause problems with 
the engine; right? 
A.
Yes, I was at the table.  
Q.
And it's your testimony that what they testified to was 
incorrect or not true? 
A.
There is -- again, you are asking a very broad question.  
It depends on the -- the -- some -- some dual controls are 
connected, some are not.  And so you're asking a broad 
question.  If they're connected, then, yes, you can -- removing 
one could cause a problem.  If they're totally independent of 
each other, then no, they're independent of each other.

Q.
And you said in the statement that I just played that the 
Southern Comfort's were connected? 
A.
No, I did not. 
Q.
Yes, sir.  So I'm going to move us on to talk about 
March 28th of 2020.  And isn't it right that you took out 
paying passengers on March 28th of 2020? 
A.
On March 28th of 2020, I had two dive trips, yes. 
Q.
And Jennifer Hester was on that boat; correct? 
A.
That's correct. 
Q.
And on her first dive, you and the divemasters gave her the 
okay to approach, like any other dive; is that right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
You put the boat in neutral like you're supposed to; 
correct?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And then you told her it was okay to come; is that right? 
A.
I told the crew that the boat was cleared, the crew -- the 
crew told her that it was fine for her to move in.  
Q.
And publishing Government's Exhibit 5 to the witness and to 
the jury.  Mr. McCabe, you recognize this picture; right?  
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you said that Ms. Hester swam up to the "S."  Is that 
right?  
A.
Yeah, she was hanging on the very side of the swim 
platform.  She wasn't even on the back of it.  She was hanging

on the side. 
Q.
And she was on the railing; right? 
A.
She was holding on to the -- to the handrail that's 
underwater. 
Q.
And you testified that you could see her clearly? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
That you could see what happened on March 28th; is that 
right?  
A.
I could see where her gun was.  I could see her.  
Q.
Now, I'm going to publish to you Government's Exhibit 36, 
which is a picture from the helm station where you 
were -- where you were? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
Now, Mr. McCabe -- 
THE COURT:  Just to confirm, is this in evidence?  
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor.  I'm sorry.  
BY MR. KELLER:  
Q.
So what has been admitted into evidence as Government's 
Exhibit 36.  
And, Mr. McCabe, isn't it right that from this vantage, you 
can't see the platform at the "S" where Ms. Hester would have 
been?  
A.
Well, Mr. Keller, that picture is taken just above a helm 
chair on the starboard side of the boat.  At that particular 
time, and as I am right now, I'm 6'3", which is much taller

than those helm chairs, and I was on the port side of the boat, 
leaning out over the side, looking down the port side 
waterline.  I could see Jennifer Hester hanging on the side of 
the platform. 
Q.
So your testimony is that you could see over the back of 
this boat? 
A.
No.  My testimony is that Jennifer Hester was hanging on to 
the side of the swim platform.  I was on the port-hand side, 
looking down the port waterline.  She was actually hanging on 
to the side.  If you look at the -- right there (indicating), 
if you go down to the waterline right there, that's where she 
was at on the boat.  So she's actually out to the side of the 
boat.  She's not behind the boat.  
Q.
And -- 
A.
And remember, I'm taller and my head is hanging outside of 
the port side.  So I could see down the port waterline.  
Q.
And, Mr. McCabe, you testified on direct that Ms. Hester's 
gun, her spear gun was broken by the bottom of the boat; is 
that right? 
A.
No.  I testified that her gun got caught between the 
transom and the swim platform.  And when the boat went down, 
while she was still on the top of a wave, the weight of the 
boat bent her -- bent her -- bent the shaft of her spear gun. 
Q.
So your testimony is that that movement is what bent her 
spear instead of the propeller like she testified?

A.
Correct.  But she also testified that she wasn't 
100 percent sure that the prop hit her gun.  
Q.
And your testimony is that Ms. Hester was never sucked 
towards the port side propeller; is that right? 
A.
When her boat got -- when her gun got damaged, it put her 
beside -- she was beside the prop, but she was not under the 
boat.  She was out to the side of the boat.  
Q.
And you heard Ms. Hester testify last week; correct? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you heard her describe being sucked from the back down 
towards the propeller area; correct? 
A.
I -- yes.  
Q.
And is it your testimony today that she was mistaken?  
A.
It's my testimony that I saw what happened with her because 
I was on the port side of the boat, looking at the port 
waterline to make sure nobody else surfaced right there.  I saw 
that her gun was caught between the transom and the swim 
platform.  
And when the boat went down, it was -- she wasn't able to 
hang on to the -- to the handrail as she was trying to take all 
of her gear off, and it's -- it pushed her up against the side 
of the boat, and then she kicked away from the boat.  That's 
what happened.  She didn't get pulled under the boat.  The boat 
went down a wave.  And she is holding on to it, so yeah, it 
pulled her down, but it didn't pull her toward the prop.

Q.
And you're testifying -- so you're testifying that she was 
wrong about that, that she was lying about it? 
A.
I didn't say that she lied.  I said I saw what happened.  
The boat went down a wave.  It pulled her down.  As she only 
had one hand on the handrail, it pulled her down, and then the 
boat started going back up a wave.  And as the boat moves to go 
back up a wave, she might have felt like she was under the 
boat, but at no time she was ever under the boat.  She was out 
to the side of it. 
Q.
And you would agree with me that Ms. Hester is a very 
experienced scuba diver; correct? 
A.
Ms. Hester has done a lot of dives, but Ms. Hester is 
dangerous. 
Q.
And would you agree with me that she is an experienced 
scuba diver? 
A.
She has done a lot of dives, yes. 
Q.
And you would agree with me that she would know if she was 
being sucked under a boat versus swept out, like you are 
describing? 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection.  Calls for speculation. 
THE COURT:  Sustained.  Move on.  
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor.  
BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
And when Ms. Hester escaped the propeller, she got back on 
the boat; is that right?

A.
She didn't escape the propeller, but, yes, after the 
incident, she got back on the boat. 
Q.
And when she got back on the boat, she handed you the spear 
gun; correct? 
A.
No.  She laid the spear gun on the floor of the flybridge, 
just like it was when we went out that morning. 
Q.
And Ms. Hester told you that the port propeller had broken 
her spear; correct?  
A.
No, she didn't tell me that.  In her testimony she even 
said she didn't tell me that until after the trip, when she 
testified -- when she texted me about it.
Q.
Well, we're going to get to the second dive in a bit, but 
for now I'm talking about her testimony about that first dive.  
A.
She told me that her gun had been damaged.  She didn't tell 
me why or how.  And I offered her mine that was on board down 
below. 
Q.
And these spears are made of metal; correct?  
A.
They are a fairly thin piece of -- some of them might be 
aluminum, some of them might be of -- it's an alloy metal, it's 
not stainless steel. 
Q.
And your testimony is that just the boat itself would cause 
that type of a bending?  
A.
If you wedge a piece of metal between a -- the transom and 
the swim platform and a 45,000-pound boat goes down, yeah, it's 
going to bend the shaft.

Q.
And when you received -- or when Ms. Hester put the spear 
gun down, you did not return it to the normal rack; isn't that 
right? 
A.
There was no rack on this boat.  All of the guns, as we 
left the inlet, laid on the flybridge floor. 
Q.
So Ms. Hester was testifying falsely about that too? 
A.
There wasn't a rack on the boat.  You can see the -- you 
have seen photos of the entire cockpit.  There is no gun rack 
there.  
Q.
And -- but you would agree with me that your propeller 
engaging when it isn't supposed to would be a problem with the 
boat's propulsion system; correct?  
A.
If that was happening, it probably would be, but that's not 
what was happening.  
Q.
And you would agree with me that that type of a problem 
would be reportable to the Coast Guard; correct?  
A.
If that -- if a vessel had that problem, and was an 
inspected vessel or not just a -- I mean, the guy's center 
console that he puts on a trailer and takes back to his house 
is not reportable to the Coast Guard.  But on my particular 
vessel, if that's what was happening, then that would have been 
reportable. 
Q.
And I understand that you're saying Ms. Hester was just 
wrong about the whole incident.  So let's move past it and talk 
about after the first dive.  So after the first dive, you were

unable -- and you, in the Southern Comfort, were unable to 
travel in reverse, correct, on March 28th?  
A.
On March 28th?  
Q.
Correct.  
A.
I could travel in reverse. 
Q.
And so you were sitting at counsel table when Carl McManus 
testified that you couldn't go in reverse; correct?  
A.
I believe he said something like that.  But he wasn't at 
the helm, he didn't -- he is not a mechanic.  He doesn't know 
what the boat could do and what it couldn't do.  I had full 
reverse.  
Q.
And you were sitting at counsel table when Jennifer Hester 
said that you weren't able to go in reverse; is that correct? 
A.
Again, that's what they said, but that's -- they weren't at 
the helm.  
Q.
And you were at counsel table when Jordan McKenna testified 
that you were unable to go into reverse as you got back to 
the marina; correct?  
A.
Jordan McKenna wasn't even on the boat, so how does he know 
what I could do and what I couldn't do?  
Q.
So all these people were just mistaken about your inability 
to go into reverse; is that your testimony? 
A.
All these people are speculating what they thought might 
have been what was going on, but none of them were at the helm.  
None of them moved the controls.  None of them saw the RPMs.

None of them have any kind of -- have any kind of experience

speculation; that doesn't make it true.  
Q.
And would you agree with me that being unable to go in 
reverse affects the boat's propulsion? 
A.
If that happened to be the case, then it would, but that's 
not the case.  
Q.
And you would agree with me that because it affects the 
boat's propulsion, that would be reportable to the Coast Guard 
as well?  
A.
If that had been the case, then, yes, but that was not the 
case.  
Q.
And all of these people are lying about this --
A.
I didn't -- never said that they lied -- 
Q.
-- is that your testimony?
THE COURT:  Okay.  Again, there is some talking over 
one another.  
Next question.  Slow down.  
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor.  
BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
And, just to be clear, with these first two times we're 
talking about -- you never reported anything to the Coast Guard 
on March 28th; is that right?  
A.
An incident -- there was no incident that would cause me to 
have to report anything.

Q.
And during this second dive, you had to throw a rope for 
people to get back on the boat; is that correct? 
A.
The seas were 4 feet and getting bigger. 
Q.
Again, sir, just if you could answer my question.  Isn't it 
right that you had to throw a rope in order to get people back 
on the boat on the second dive? 
A.
I -- that -- that -- that is.  But the reason was that the 
current was a little stronger, the seas were a little bigger, 
so it was a little bit easier for the divers to get to the 
boat.  
Q.
And moving to the end of this dive trip on March 28th, your 
testimony on direct is that you never ran aground; correct?  
A.
I did not run aground.  
Q.
Your testimony, as I understood it, was that you actually 
just threw your anchor and actually never collided with 
mangroves or anything like that; is that right? 
A.
I dropped the anchor once I was out of the channel.  And 
the tide moving forward moved the stern of the boat toward 
the -- toward the little sandbar in the mangroves, but I was 
always floating, I was never -- I never hit anything.  I never 
was -- I was not aground.  
Q.
So your testimony today is that Jordan McKenna, 
Officer Abramczyk, Carl McManus and Jennifer Hester were all 
mistaken about your vessel, the Southern Comfort, running 
aground that day, all four of them were mistaken?

A.
Two of them weren't even on the vessel.  They were standing 
on the ground.  And I believe the North Palm Beach police 
officer testified that he wasn't anywhere near there; he was 
standing up by the building.  There is no way for either of 
them to know that -- what happened, what was going on, how deep 
a water that I was in.  
Q.
And after this happened, which I would call it a grounding, 
but you obviously don't, you went back to the marina; correct?  
A.
After John got on the boat and tightened the terminal nut, 
I started both engines.  I pulled up the anchor and we drove to 
the fuel dock, the floating dock.  
Q.
And that same day, you said on direct, Jennifer Hester sent 
you a Facebook Messenger message about the port side propeller 
engaging and disengaging when in neutral; correct? 
A.
That's what she perceived was happening, but that was not 
what was happening. 
Q.
And this was something she reported from the second dive 
that day; correct?  
A.
No.  That's what she reported -- she was telling me from 
her first dive is, I believe, what she was talking about.  
MR. KELLER:  And at this time the government will 
publish to the witness and the jury what's been admitted as 
Government's Exhibit 11.  
BY MR. KELLER:  
Q.
Mr. McCabe, do you see in this first --

Q.
Mr. McCabe, if you could just wait until I ask a question, 
please.  
So when it comes to this first message, isn't it right that 
Ms. Hester says to you, "Swimming up to the boat after the 
second dive, I was watching the props"; is that right?  
A.
That's what she says, yes.  
Q.
And so she's talking about the second dive she went on; 
correct? 
A.
That's -- that's correct, yes. 
Q.
And then she says, quote, "port side is engaging and 
releasing, engaging and releasing.  Starboard side was still"; 
correct?  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And you told her that it was a short; right?  
A.
That was all speculation on my thought that -- at that 
point I didn't know what it was.  We hadn't investigated it 
yet. 
Q.
But that's what you told her --
A.
That's -- 
Q.
-- that day; correct? 
A.
That's -- that's what I told her.  
Q.
And she told you again insistently that it was engaging, 
didn't she? 
A.
Yeah, but I did an inspection and it -- there wasn't

anything wrong with it.  
Q.
And this same afternoon -- so you received these messages 
from Jennifer Hester.  You also told Steve Poznak, the same 
day, that the propeller was activating when the boat was in 
neutral, didn't you?  
A.
I told Steve Poznak that that's what Jen Hester said.  
Q.
And Mr. Poznak told you that you got lucky and you needed 
to get the vessel fixed, didn't he?  
A.
That's -- I believe so.  
Q.
And so you had noticed on March 28th, you admit, that your 
port side propeller was malfunctioning; correct? 
A.
No, I don't admit that because what you're omitting is the 
fact that I spent at least an hour and a half, after I got 
these -- after I knew, checking out the port -- the port side, 
trying to make it happen, seeing what was going on, and we 
found no problem.  
Q.
But, sir, that's a different question than what I'm asking 
you.  What I'm asking you is:  You had noticed, correct, that 
there was a problem with your port side propeller on 
March 28th, yes or no? 
A.
I didn't have notice.  I had speculation that there was a 
problem from people who were not marine mechanics, who weren't 
on the boat, who weren't at the helm, who have no idea how to 
control a vessel.  So I had speculation that that was, and I 
did an inspection for at least an hour and a half to make sure

that that speculation wasn't accurate.  So, no, I wasn't put on 
notice that there was a problem.  
Q.
And you would agree with me, Mr. McCabe, that you were 
responsible for getting your boat in proper working condition 
after this message you received; correct?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection.  Asked and answered several 
times.  
THE COURT:  Sustained.  Next question.  
BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
And isn't it right that by the time you put -- took on new 
passengers, you would be responsible for having the boat in 
proper working order? 
A.
The boat was in proper working order.  
Q.
And you brought the vessel out.  So after you received -- 
after you spoke with Mr. Poznak, after you received the message 
from Ms. Hester, you brought the vessel out the following 
morning, correct, on March 29, 2020? 
A.
After I spoke with all of them and after I did my 
inspection, I actually took the vessel out on the 28th for an 
afternoon trip, that everything went perfectly fine.  
Q.
And you took money from paying passengers on March 29th of 
2020; correct? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And those paying passengers included Mollie Ghiz-Flynn, 
Sean Flynn, and David Anderson; correct?

A.
That's correct.  
Q.
So now let's talk about March 29th.  So on the first dive 
of the day on March 29th, Mollie Ghiz-Flynn and Sean Flynn were 
diving together; correct? 
A.
I -- that's -- I don't have -- I don't know.  I would 
imagine.  They usually do. 
Q.
And your testimony on direct was that you gave everyone a 
safety brief; correct? 
A.
I gave a briefing before we left the dock, yes. 
Q.
You were sitting at counsel table last week when Sean Flynn 
and David Anderson testified that you did not, weren't you? 
A.
So divers as -- as divers get more comfortable and as 
divers get more experienced, they get less safe.  And after you 
have heard the dive briefing so many times, you stop listening.  
Do you listen to how to buckle your seat belt on an 
airplane?  
Q.
So your testimony is that Sean Flynn and David Anderson 
both just didn't hear you as you gave the safety -- the safety 
talk?  
A.
I have given a safety -- I have given my safety briefing, 
and all six of the passengers get off of the boat and walk 
around on the dock while I'm giving it and not listen.  I have 
had to tell them to stop talking while I was giving my safety 
briefing.  So it's very possible that neither one of them 
listened.

And that they -- 
THE COURT:  Next question. 
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor.  
BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
And so, Mr. McCabe, after this -- after y'all went out, 
isn't it right that Mollie and Sean Flynn were picked up 
together?  
A.
They surfaced together, yes. 
Q.
And you drove the Southern Comfort to them; correct? 
A.
I would have moved the boat into position to pick them up. 
Q.
And you backed up to them; is that right? 
A.
I would have gotten within 20 feet or so of them, and then 
the crew would have told them to swim to the platform. 
Q.
And you told the crew that the boat was in neutral; 
correct? 
A.
The boat was in neutral, yes. 
Q.
You disengaged the propellers and the motors; right?  
A.
I put the boat in neutral and I walked to the port side.  
Q.
And then you heard the crew yell "she's under the boat"; 
correct?  
A.
I heard Kay yell that she had been washed off, and then 
they tell me that she's under the boat.  
Q.
So you did hear that she's under the boat? 
A.
Uh-huh.  
Q.
And isn't it right that Mollie had been sucked into the

port side propeller?  
A.
No.  
Q.
So your testimony is that Mollie Ghiz-Flynn was not killed 
by the port side propeller?  
A.
I'm saying that she wasn't sucked into the port side 
propeller.  I'm saying that the seas and the current pushed her 
there. 
Q.
And that when the seas and current pushed her there, they 
twisted her wetsuit into the propeller; is that your testimony?  
A.
I'm saying that I'm not sure how her -- I wasn't there.  I 
can't -- I can't definitively say that the props were 
spin -- how her wetsuit got twisted in there.  
Q.
Mr. McCabe, you testified on direct that you have been on 
boats for 41 years.  Is that the number that you said? 
A.
I believe so. 
Q.
And on motorized boats with propellers? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And your testimony -- and you -- you were sitting at 
counsel table last week when we had to look at the wounds that 
Ms. Ghiz-Flynn, that Mollie, sustained; right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And I'm not going to show those again, but I just have to 
ask you, sir, your testimony right now is that those wounds 
could have been caused by something other than the propeller 
being under power?  Is that your testimony right now?

A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you heard Allan Roth testify, you heard Dr. Tops 
testify that the propeller had to be under power to have caused 
those types of awful wounds, and your testimony is that they're 
wrong? 
A.
So I heard the medical examiner say that -- called them 
chop wounds, instead of cut wounds.  So I would say chop wounds 
are more like a butcher knife getting -- chopping you, and a 
cut wound is a cut wound.  
And the -- the seas were 4 to -- or 3 to 4 feet at 
7 seconds, 7-second waves apart.  That means when the boat is 
on the crest of a wave, it takes you 7 seconds to go from the 
crest of one wave down to the trough and up to the crest of 
another one.  
I'm saying that what happens is, that happens 7 -- they're 
7 seconds apart.  That's 56 times in a minute that the boat 
moves up and down.  A prop could move up and down 56 times and 
cause those same wounds.  
The ME -- the medical examiner says that they were 
cut -- or that they were chop wounds.  If the boat was under 
power, you heard Dr. -- you heard Mr. Roth say that the gear 
was a 2-to-1 ratio.  And what that means is when the boat is in 
reverse, or when the boat is in forward -- say, the boat is 
in -- my boat, when it was in reverse, it was at 1,700 RPMs.  A 
2-to-1 ratio means that the prop is spinning at 850 RPMs.

All right.  So at 850 RPMs, if you break -- with a 
three-blade prop, if you break that down into seconds, that 
means that one blade of that prop passed one specific point 14 
times a second.  That means that the entire -- that the entire 
prop would have passed that one specific spot 42 times a 
second.  
All right.  So in the 8 minutes of the accident, that would 
have been more than 20,000 cuts.  
Q.
And, Mr. McCabe, your testimony is -- and you heard 
Allan Roth talk about the currents, and he told you -- and he 
testified, rather, that that couldn't possibly have caused 
this.  Your testimony is that he is wrong about that? 
A.
My testimony is that Allan Roth didn't know -- is 
Allan Roth a diver?  He doesn't know -- he also said that 
4-foot seas in a 2-knot current is typical Palm Beach 
current -- typical Palm Beach conditions, and that's just 
simply not so. 
Q.
And you heard Sean Flynn testify about Mollie's leg being 
wrapped around the shaft like a rope with two weights tied at 
the end, and your testimony is that could have happened from 
the currents?  
A.
I'm saying that that could happen from the boat moving up 
and down 56 times in a minute.  
Q.
And, Mr. McCabe, after this happened, you drove the 
Southern Comfort back to the marina; is that right?

A.
I did what the Coast Guard instructed me to do.  
Q.
And you met with the Coast Guard and with FWC just like we 
heard before; right? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
And you did not tell them about the Jennifer Hester 
incidence from the day before, the text message she sent you, 
the Facebook message, or your conversation with Steve Poznak; 
is that right?  
A.
I did not.  They weren't relevant to the situation.  
Q.
And you gave them a statement that was under oath; right? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And we heard before, you acknowledged that you had a 
problem with the starboard transmission because of removing 
those engine controls; right?  
A.
No.  I didn't say there was a problem with -- there.  I 
said that they didn't go fully into reverse.  
Q.
And that problem you didn't fix on March 29th, it was still 
a problem that day; right? 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Objection.  Facts not in evidence.  
THE COURT:  Overruled.  Answer the question, sir.  
THE WITNESS:  There -- it -- it's not a problem.  It's 
a preference.  If I want the boat to go fully in reverse, then 
that's easier on the transmission, but it's not a problem, so 
to say, like you're trying to make it out.  It's just simply a 
preference.

It's like the idle speed of your car.  If you want 
to -- if you want your car to idle faster, then you adjust the 
throttle so that it gives more fuel while the boat [sic] is in 
idle.  That doesn't mean that your car is broken.  It means 
it's a preference.  I preferred that my -- that the boat is in 
1,700 RPMs when it goes in reverse, not 1,550.  So it's a -- 
simply a preference.  That doesn't mean it's broken. 
BY MR. KELLER:
Q.
And, sir, when you were asked -- so after you gave that 
answer about the engine controls being removed and explaining 
that problem, when you were asked if there were any other 
mechanical issues with the boat, you said nothing besides a 
water pump issue; right? 
A.
Yeah, the freshwater pump wasn't spraying water strong 
enough to rinse out everyone's mask before they got in the 
water. 
Q.
And you told him, the FWC investigator, Mr. Fowler, quote, 
"the motors and the props and the transmissions and all of that 
is sound"; correct? 
A.
All of that was -- was sound, yes.  
Q.
And you told him, quote, "there is nothing mechanically 
wrong with the boat.  It operates like it's supposed to, other 
than that one little lever and it just needs to be adjusted."  
Talking about that issue that we were talking about before; 
right?

A.
Yeah.  It -- like I said a few times now, it just simply 
wasn't to my preference.  
Q.
And when they asked you, based on all your years of 
experience, how Mollie could have gotten such serious injuries, 
you told them you had no idea; isn't that right? 
A.
I didn't have any of the facts at that point.  I mean, you 
are talking about a few hours.  I had zero facts about what was 
going on.  All I knew was the sea conditions and somewhat of 
what happened.  So -- it was a little traumatic at that time, 
so, yeah, I -- I had no idea at that point.  
Q.
And when the person interviewing you said you're the only 
person who would have the answer for them, you said you had no 
idea; right? 
A.
Again, it -- it was a few hours afterwards.  If you had 
noticed, in all of their investigation, in Agent King's 
investigation, not one of them came and spoke with me.  
Q.
And they asked you if you believed it was possible that 
someone could just bump up against a propeller in neutral or 
the bottom of a boat and get those injuries, and you said you 
had no idea; correct?  
A.
So I -- I -- I would think so.  If that's in the -- if 
that's in that synopsis that FWC did, when their investigation 
ended.  
Q.
And you told all of this to law enforcement, about this 
port side propeller, the day after you called Steve Poznak to

tell him you had the spear gun incident with Jennifer Hester 
involving that same propeller; correct?  
A.
The -- I told Steve Poznak, again, that she thought that it 
hit the prop, but that I saw it get bent from the platform.  He 
said you don't need to go out until it -- until it is fixed.  
We did the investigation.  There wasn't a problem.  So that's 
when we went back out.  
Steve had no clue how to operate a vessel.  He is not a 
mechanic.  Just because he says, Don't go out until you get it 
fixed, well, if there is nothing to fix, then there is nothing 
to fix.  
Q.
So now you're saying that Jennifer Hester did tell you 
about the prop.  Because before you said she didn't tell you 
about that, just about the spear -- 
A.
She -- in her text message is when she told me about the 
prop.  
Q.
And I'm glad you mention that because you also told law 
enforcement you have no idea how this happened, just today, 
after Jennifer Hester sent you a text message telling you about 
the very propeller that killed Mollie; isn't that right?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Judge, objection.  Asked and answered 
several times now.  
THE COURT:  All right.  Answer this question and then 
we will move on.  Answer the question, sir. 
THE WITNESS:  The -- again, the prop wasn't broken.  I

don't know how many times I have to tell you the prop wasn't 
broken.  I inspected the vessel after that incident and nothing 
was wrong.  The same as you take your car to a mechanic.  They 
fix it, they go drive it around to see if -- to see if it's 
fixed properly or if they can recreate the same problem.  And 
if they can't recreate the same problem, they're going to call 
you and tell you your car is not broken.  
She told me about it.  We looked at it.  We looked at 
it for half an hour.  Then we put the boat in forward and 
reverse four or five times to try to make it do it again.  And 
then we looked at it again for another half an hour.  
And you keep forgetting that I did an afternoon trip on 
Saturday, after the Jennifer Hester incident, and no problems.  
THE COURT:  Next question. 
MR. KELLER:  A moment, Your Honor.  
Nothing further, Your Honor. 
THE COURT:  All right.  Thank you.  Redirect.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Thank you, Your Honor.  
REDIRECT EXAMINATION

Q.
Mr. McCabe, I just want to go over some of the Government's 
cross-examination of you, and I will be as brief as possible.  
A.
Okay.  Take your time.  
Q.
At the beginning of Mr. Keller's presentation, he was 
talking about a text message that you sent to Coast Guard

Officer Goodman.  And I'm not going to spend time going through 
the exhibits.  
Do you recall that text message?  
A.
Yeah, I recall sending text messages, yes. 
Q.
And it said "the business is shut down"? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
Now, you have testified and the jury has heard, was diving 
trips the only part of Florida Scuba Charters?  
A.
No.  
Q.
Were you -- what were you referring to when you said "this 
business is shut down"?  
A.
So I meant my -- the boat was shut down.  
Q.
Okay.  
A.
So I still -- I sold gear. 
Q.
You could still do other things? 
A.
I could teach.  I could sell gear.  I could take people 
to -- to trips.  I took people down to Boca Raton.  I took them 
over to the west coast -- or -- yeah, to the west coast, we 
went to the Keys.  People would call me and ask, "Hey, can you 
get me this gear?"  And I would order it for them.  So I sold 
gear.  I taught.  I -- 
Q.
Were you still in business? 
A.
The business was still open and we were still operating.  
We just couldn't use the vessel.  That -- I could use anybody's 
else's.  I could take divers to other vessels.  And that's what

to try to -- to try to stay afloat. 
Q.
In the state of Florida, do you have to incorporate a 
business?  
A.
No.  
Q.
On Sunbiz, do you have to file articles of incorporation? 
A.
No.  For -- we were a corporation; I believe we had to.  
Q.
And then at some point, you -- you dissolved this 
corporation; correct?

That's correct.

When you sent this text message to Goodman saying the 
business is down, you had not filed any --

No.

Okay.  So let's move on. 
So the government asked you questions about two different 
facets of the PPP loans.  The actual application, do you 
remember that? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
And then the forgiveness; correct? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
Now, necessarily these two will have to happen at different 
times; correct?

A.
Correct. 
Q.
I mean, common sense is you apply for the loan first; 
right? 
A.
Correct. 
Q.
And then did you receive funds? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
You used funds for the -- for what?  
A.
For boat payment, slip rent, utilities --
Q.
Okay.  
A.
-- the approved expenses.  
Q.
And then time goes on; correct?  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
And then part of the PPP program is now it's time to 
forgive the loan; right? 
A.
Correct.  
Q.
So the government was talking about dates of when you 
applied for forgiveness.  
A.
Correct.  
Q.
That date was after the business was dissolved; correct?  
A.
Yes.  According to the PPP regulations, I -- you didn't 
need to still be in business for it to be able to file for 
forgiveness.  
Q.
So we're talking about forgiveness was after the dissolving 
of the company? 
A.
Correct.

Q.
You never -- did you ever apply for a new loan after the 
business was closed?  
A.
No.  
Q.
Okay.  You applied for forgiveness in due course?  
A.
Correct.  When they -- 
Q.
Okay.
A.
When the banks would send you an email and say, you know, 
your time period -- it's now time for you to apply for 
forgiveness.  
Q.
Okay.  Just briefly, because we've talked about it a lot 
today and during the week, on March 28th, the Saturday, did you 
lose propulsion? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Did you lose steering? 
A.
No.  
Q.
Because of that, did you need to report anything to the 
Coast Guard?  
A.
No.  
Q.
And why is that?  
A.
Because there wasn't a marine casualty. 
Q.
Okay.  You were operating on the other engine; correct? 
A.
I was operating on the port side.  And I still had 
propulsion, I still had steering.  
Q.
So if you turn off one engine, do you have to call the 
Coast Guard and say, "Hey, Coast Guard, I turned off one engine

and I'm just using the other engine"? 
A.
No. 
Q.
That's a fairly common thing in boating; correct? 
A.
Yeah, it's a precaution thing.  If you turn off a 
single-engine boat and decide to paddle, you don't have to call 
the Coast Guard.  
Q.
Okay.  You gave a statement to Florida -- FWC, Florida Fish 
and Wildlife Conservation Commission? 
A.
Uh-huh.  
Q.
Do you recall -- I know it's been five years.  Do you 
recall about how long that statement was?  
A.
I do not.  It was pretty long. 
Q.
We -- today we heard about 30 seconds, maybe 40 seconds of 
that statement? 
A.
Yeah, it was at least a half hour, 45 minutes. 
Q.
Okay.  So we saw -- and I'm not great at math, which is why 
I'm a lawyer, but we heard about, what, 1 percent of that 
statement? 
A.
I would say less than that. 
Q.
Okay.  And that statement was selected by the government; 
correct?  
A.
That is correct.  
Q.
Okay.  Did removing the cables on the helm station 
contribute to Ms. Flynn's untimely death? 
A.
No.

Q.
Okay.  I know we testified about it, but just to be very 
clear for the jury, because this is important.  The incident 
with Jennifer Hester was Saturday, in the morning; correct? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
Okay.  You took the boat out Saturday in the PM; correct? 
A.
That's correct.  
Q.
Two dives? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
From the marina out to the ocean? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  There was a little testimony that you had to throw a 
rope out to get the divers.  
A.
Yes.  That was -- 
Q.
Did you -- 
A.
That was done because the current had picked up a little 
stronger. 
Q.
Can you tell the jury what the definition of the -- of the 
scuba term "tag line" is? 
A.
Okay.  So a tag line is a -- is a line -- however long you 
want to make it.  You can make it a hundred feet or 20 feet, 
it's however -- whatever your preference is.  And it has a buoy 
on the end of it.  And every so many feet there are knots that 
you tie into it.  And so as you come -- as you come to a diver, 
you throw them the line, and they hold on to the line, and then 
they can pull themselves, knot by knot, up to the boat.

So it helps them swim through a strong current.  It helps 
them deal with bigger waves, that sort of thing.  And it's just 
easier for them to get on the boat in certain conditions. 
Q.
Is it common, in retrieving a scuba diver, as -- as seas 
are building and current is increasing, is it common to throw a 
tag line? 
A.
The boats south of Palm Beach do it in -- do it every dive.  
Q.
Oh.  
A.
And the ones in Palm Beach do it -- we do it, I wouldn't 
say often, but we do it occasionally.  
Q.
So some boats, just as a matter of course, have a tag line 
every time? 
A.
Yes.  
Q.
Okay.  Last question, Mr. McCabe.  Based on the absolute 
perfect dive that you had Saturday afternoon, did you have any 
reason to think that there was a mechanical issue with that 
boat that would have prevented you from taking customers out 
Sunday morning? 
A.
No.  We did the inspection in between the two trips.  We 
found zero problems.  During the afternoon trip, all the 
gauges, all the RPMs, everything was where they were supposed 
to be, with the -- with the exception of the 150 RPMs in 
the -- with the cable, but that wasn't broken.  That was a 
preference.  I preferred it to be a little -- a little more.  
With -- the difference was cavitation.  And so there is a

little more cavitation.  And it got the crew a little wetter.  
And so they didn't like to get soaked, so a little more -- a 
little more RPMs seemed to fix that problem. 
Q.
As a boater of 41 years and a boat captain, did you feel 
comfortable taking divers out on Sunday, March 29th? 
A.
Yes. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  I have no further questions, 
Your Honor. 
THE COURT:  All right.  Thank you, Mr. McCabe.  You may 
return to counsel table.  
THE WITNESS:  Thank you.  
THE COURT:  And I will see the attorneys at sidebar. 
(Conference at bench.) 
THE COURT:  Mr. O'Sullivan, do you have any additional 
witnesses?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  No.  We are going to rest. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Any additional exhibits to 
introduce?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  No, ma'am.  We're going to fully rest. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Thank you.  
Any additional witnesses, do you envision, on a 
rebuttal case?  
MR. KELLER:  No, Your Honor. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Thank you.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Yes, ma'am.

(Conference at bench concluded.) 
THE COURT:  Mr. O'Sullivan, anything further?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Your Honor, at this time the defense 
rests.  
THE COURT:  All right.  Does the government rest on its 
entire case?  
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  Ladies and gentlemen, I have a few 
items to address with the parties so I'm going to ask you to 
take an additional break, and we will visit with you in just a 
few moments.  
All rise for the jury. 
(The jury exited the courtroom at 4:25 p.m.) 
THE COURT:  Please be seated.  
Okay.  It is 4:30.  It's too late to try to do the 
closings today, but I think we can probably achieve the reading 
of the instructions.  
So, with that, I'm going to retire to chambers to 
finalize those instructions.  Please stay in the courtroom so 
that you can receive copies of those final instructions and 
then lodge any final objections to the ultimate language.  
Thank you.  
(A recess was taken from 4:26 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.) 
THE COURT:  Please be seated.  Before we turn to the 
instructions, I do want to give defense counsel an opportunity

to raise any additional motions. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  May I have one moment, Your Honor?  
THE COURT:  You may.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Judge, pursuant to Federal Rule of 
Criminal Procedure 29, I would again ask the Court to dismiss 
the indictment against Mr. McCabe.  I would just incorporate 
the arguments that I made Friday, telephonically, as the only 
arguments, as there would be no additional arguments.  So I'm 
not going to redo the exact arguments.  Everything would be the 
same.
So I would just renew any objections that I made Friday 
and incorporate all arguments from Friday into, now that we 
have rested, our Rule 29 motion for judgment of acquittal. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  For the same reasons stated on the 
record on Friday, I'm going to deny that renewed motion, which 
raises the same arguments as stated by counsel.  
So, with that, you were provided a copy of the final 
jury instructions.  Please advise the Court whether you have 
any objections to those, Mr. Keller. 
MR. KELLER:  Judge, I'm almost done and I do not see 
anything that is objectionable.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  Let me give you a few more minutes 
to ensure that both sides have enough time to review those 
final instructions.  
And I will just add one additional point on the renewed

motion, that the defendant's testimony does not alter the 
Court's ruling and reinforces that all the counts should be 
submitted to the jury for its consideration.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Thank you for that clarification, 
Your Honor.  
MR. KELLER:  Judge, the government has reviewed and has 
no alterations. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Mr. O'Sullivan and Ms. Francis, any 
objections to the final instructions?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Your Honor, we have had the 
opportunity to review the final instructions and we voice no 
objection at this time.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  All right.  Well, then let me 
provide a copy of these instructions to the court reporter.  
Ms. Alexander, here, I have an extra one.  
Let me also inquire whether there are any objections to 
the final verdict form.  Mr. Keller. 
MR. KELLER:  No objections, Your Honor. 
THE COURT:  Mr. O'Sullivan. 
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  No objections, Your Honor. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Then how many total copies, 
Ms. Alexander, do we have of the printed jury instructions and 
the printed verdict form?  
THE LAW CLERK:  We have nine copies, Your Honor.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  We will take a very brief break to

print full sets for the jurors.  Please stand by.  Thank you.  
MR. KELLER:  Your Honor, we have a redacted indictment.  
Should we email that to chambers or should we print our copies?  
THE COURT:  Print them, please.  
MR. KELLER:  Four copies. 
THE COURT:  I think that's sufficient.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Can we have one?  
MR. KELLER:  We are going to get one for you.  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  I just want one.  
THE COURT:  So five total copies.  So one can go to 
defense counsel.  That's it.  
(A recess was taken from 4:51 p.m. to 4:55 p.m.) 
THE COURT:  Everybody is here.  Let's call in the jury.  
COURT SECURITY OFFICER:  All rise for the jury. 
(The jury entered the courtroom at 4:56 p.m.) 
THE COURT:  Please be seated.  
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, both sides have rested.  So 
what happens next is I will be reading to you the Court's final 
jury instructions, and you will be given hard copies of these 
instructions so you can follow along with me.  
Please note that you will have these instructions with 
you during deliberations so you need not try to memorize 
everything I am saying out loud.  At this time, the courtroom 
deputy will provide copies of the final jury instructions.  
COURTROOM DEPUTY:  I need one more copy.

THE COURT:  That's okay.  If you don't have a copy of 
the verdict form, then just follow along with one of your 
fellow jurors.  
And we will proceed now with the reading of the Court's 
instructions.  
Members of the jury, it is my duty to instruct you on 
the rules of law that you must use in deciding this case.  
After I have completed these instructions, you will go to the 
jury room and begin your discussions, what we call 
deliberations.  You must decide whether the government has 
proven the specific facts necessary to find the defendant 
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.  
Duty to follow instructions and the presumption of 
innocence.  Your decision must be based only on the evidence 
presented here.  You must not be influenced in any way, either 
by sympathy for or prejudice against the defendant or the 
government.  You must follow the law as I explain it, even if 
you do not agree with the law.  And you must follow all of my 
instructions as a whole.  You must not single out or disregard 
any of the Court's instructions on the law.  
The indictment or formal charge against the defendant 
is not evidence of guilt.  The law presumes every defendant is 
innocent.  The defendant does not have to prove his innocence 
or produce any evidence at all.  The government must prove 
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt; if it fails to do so, you must

find the defendant not guilty.  
Definition of reasonable doubt.  The Government's 
burden of proof is heavy but it does not have to prove a 
defendant's guilt beyond all possible doubt.  The Government's 
proof only has to exclude any reasonable doubt concerning the 
defendant's guilt.  
A reasonable doubt is a real doubt based on your reason 
and common sense, after you have carefully and impartially 
considered all the evidence in the case.  Proof beyond a 
reasonable doubt is proof so convincing that you would be 
willing to rely and act on it, without hesitation, in the most 
important of your own affairs.  If you are convinced that the 
defendant has been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, say 
so.  If you are not convinced, say so.  
Consideration of direct and circumstantial evidence, 
argument of counsel, and comments by the Court.  As I said 
before, you must consider only the evidence that I have 
admitted in the case.  Evidence includes the testimony of 
witnesses and the exhibits admitted, but anything the lawyers 
say is not evidence and is not binding on you.  
You should not assume from anything I have said that I 
have any opinion about any factual issue in this case.  Except 
for my instructions to you on the law, you should disregard 
anything I may have said during the trial in arriving at your 
own decision about the facts.  Your own recollection and

interpretation of the evidence is what matters.  
In considering the evidence, you may use reasoning and 
common sense to make deductions and reach conclusions.  You 
shouldn't be concerned about whether the evidence is direct or 
circumstantial.  
Direct evidence is the testimony of a person who 
asserts that he or she has actual knowledge of a fact, such as 
an eyewitness.  Circumstantial evidence is proof of a chain of 
facts and circumstances that tend to prove or disprove a fact.  
There is no legal difference in the weight you may give to 
either direct or circumstantial evidence.  
Credibility of witnesses.  When I say you must consider 
all of the evidence, I do not mean that you must accept all the 
evidence as true or accurate.  You should decide whether you 
believe what each witness had to say and how important that 
testimony was.  In making that decision, you may believe or 
disbelieve any witness in whole or in part.  The number of 
witnesses testifying concerning a particular point doesn't 
necessarily matter.  
To decide whether you believe any witness, I suggest 
that you ask yourself a few questions:  Did the witness impress 
you as one who was telling the truth?  Did the witness have any 
particular reason not to tell the truth?  Did the witness have 
a personal interest in the outcome of the case?  Did the 
witness seem to have a good memory?

Did the witness have the opportunity and ability to 
accurately observe the thing he or she testified about?  Did 
the witness appear to understand the questions clearly and 
answer them directly?  And did the witness's testimony differ 
from other testimony or other evidence?  
Persons not on trial and unavailable witness.  Some of 
the people who may have been involved in these events are not 
on trial.  This does not matter.  There is no requirement that 
all persons be charged and prosecuted in one proceeding.  You 
may not draw any inference, favorable or unfavorable, towards 
the government or the defendant on trial from the fact that any 
person in addition to the defendant is not on trial here.  You 
may also not speculate as to the reasons why other persons are 
not on trial.  
Finally, you heard references during the trial to an 
individual by the name of John Miller.  You should draw no 
inference from Mr. Miller's absence from this trial because he 
was not available to either side.  
Impeachment of witnesses because of inconsistent 
statements.  You should also ask yourself whether there was 
evidence that a witness testified falsely about an important 
fact, and ask whether there was evidence that at some other 
time a witness said or did something or didn't say or do 
something that was different from the testimony the witness 
gave during this trial.  But keep in mind that a simple mistake

does not mean a witness wasn't telling the truth as he or she 
remembers it.  People naturally tend to forget some things or 
remember them inaccurately.  
So if a witness misstated something, you must decide 
whether it was because of an innocent lapse in memory or an 
intentional deception.  The significance of your decision may 
depend on whether the misstatement is about an important fact 
or about an unimportant detail.  
A defendant has a right not to testify, but since the 
defendant did testify, you should decide whether you believe 
the defendant's testimony in the same way as that of any other 
witness.  
Expert witnesses.  When scientific, technical, or other 
specialized knowledge might be helpful, a person who has 
special training or expertise in that field -- excuse me -- 
experience in that field is allowed to state an opinion about 
the matter, but that does not mean you must accept the 
witness's opinion.  As with any other witness's testimony, you 
must decide for yourself whether to rely upon the opinion.  
Introduction to offense instructions.  The indictment 
charges five separate crimes called counts against the 
defendant.  And you will be provided a copy of this indictment 
during your deliberations.  Each count has a number.  You will 
be given a copy of the indictment to refer to during your 
deliberations.  And remember, ladies and gentlemen, an

indictment is not evidence and it is not proof of guilt.  
Count 1 charges the defendant with seaman's 
manslaughter.  Count 2 charges the defendant with making a 
false statement within the jurisdiction of an agency of the 
United States.  Counts 3, 4, and 5 charge the defendant with 
wire fraud.  These five counts charge the defendant with 
committing what are called substantive offenses.  And I will 
now explain the law governing each of those substantive 
offenses.  
On or about, knowingly, willfully.  You will see that 
the indictment charges that a crime was committed, quote, "on 
or about" a certain date.  The government doesn't have to prove 
that the crime occurred on an exact date.  The government only 
has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the crime was 
committed on a date reasonably close to the date alleged.  
The word "knowingly" means that an act was done 
voluntarily and intentionally and not because of a mistake or 
by accident.  The word "willfully" means that the act was 
committed voluntarily and purposefully with the intent to do 
something the law forbids; that is, with a bad purpose to 
disobey or disregard the law.  
While a person must have acted with the intent to do 
something the law forbids before you can find that the person 
acted willfully, the person need not be aware of a specific law 
or rule that his conduct may be violating.

Caution, separate counts, and punishment.  Each count 
of the indictment charges a separate crime.  You must consider 
each crime and the evidence relating to it separately.  If you 
find the defendant guilty or not guilty of one crime, that must 
not affect your verdict for any other crime.  
And I caution you that the defendant is on trial only 
for the specific crimes charged in the indictment.  You are 
here to determine from the evidence in this case whether the 
defendant is guilty or not guilty of those specific crimes.  
You must never consider punishment in any way to decide whether 
the defendant is guilty.  If you find the defendant guilty, the 
punishment is for the judge alone to decide later. 
Count 1, Seaman's Manslaughter, Title 18, United States 
Code, Section 1115.  Count 1 charges the defendant with 
seaman's manslaughter.  It is a federal crime for a captain, 
engineer, pilot or other person employed on a vessel to engage 
in misconduct, negligence, or inattention to his duties that 
proximately causes the loss of life, or for an owner or charter 
of a vessel to engage in fraud, neglect, connivance, 
misconduct, or violation of law that proximately causes the 
loss of a life.  
The defendant can be found guilty of this crime only if 
all of the following facts are proven beyond a reasonable 
doubt:  
Number 1.  The defendant was an owner, charter,

captain, engineer, pilot, or other person employed on the 
M/V Southern Comfort.  
Number 2.  A person lost his or her life.  
And, number 3.  The defendant was a captain, engineer, 
pilot or other person employed on the vessel, and a loss of 
life was proximately caused by the defendant's misconduct, 
negligence, or inattention to his duties on the vessel.  Or, 
the defendant was an owner or charter of the vessel, and a loss 
of life was proximately caused by the defendant's fraud, 
neglect, connivance, misconduct, or violation of law as the 
owner or charterer of the vessel.  
Negligence is a breach of duty which means an omission 
to perform some duty or a violation of some rule or standard of 
care which is made to govern and control one in the discharge 
of some duty.  Negligent conduct proximately causes a loss of 
life if the loss of life resulted from the negligence and it 
was reasonably foreseeable that the negligent conduct was or 
could be a threat to the lives of others.  
As you will see in the verdict form, when evaluating 
the third element for Count 1 -- I just read that to you, 
ladies and gentlemen -- you must decide each of the two 
subparts separately.  
First, if you unanimously decide that the defendant was 
a captain, engineer, pilot or other person employed on the 
vessel, then you must decide whether a loss of life was

proximately caused by the defendant's misconduct, negligence, 
or inattention to his duties on the vessel.  
Second, if you unanimously decide that the defendant 
was an owner or charterer of the vessel, then you must decide 
whether a loss of life was proximately caused by the 
defendant's fraud, neglect, connivance, misconduct, or 
violation of law as the owner or charterer of the vessel.  
Turning to Count 2, False Statement to a Federal 
Agency, Title 18, United States Code, 1001.  It is a federal 
crime to willfully make a false or fraudulent statement to a 
department or agency of the United States.  The defendant can 
be found guilty of this crime only if all of the following 
facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt:  
Number 1.  The defendant made the statement as charged.  
Number 2.  The statement was false.  
Number 3.  The falsity concerned a material matter.  
Number 4.  The defendant acted willfully, knowing that 
the statement was false.  
And, number 5.  The false statement was made or used 
for a matter within the jurisdiction of a department or agency 
of the United States.  
A statement is false when made or used if it is untrue 
when made and the person making or using it knows it is untrue.  
The government doesn't have to show that the governmental 
agency or department was, in fact, deceived or misled.  The

United States Coast Guard is an agency of the United States.  
Filing documents with that agency relating to a vessel's use or 
status is a matter within that agency's jurisdiction.  
The making of a false statement is not a crime unless 
the falsity relates to a material fact.  A material fact is an 
important one, not some unimportant or trivial detail, that has 
a natural tendency to influence or is capable of influencing a 
decision of a department or agency in reaching a required 
decision.  
Now we are on page 15.  These -- this is the 
instruction for Wire Fraud, Counts 3, 4, and 5.  Title 18, 
United States Code, Section 1343.  
It is a federal crime to use interstate wire, radio, or 
television communications to carry out a scheme to defraud 
someone else.  The defendant can be found guilty of this crime 
only if all of the following facts are proven beyond a 
reasonable doubt:  
Number 1.  The defendant knowingly devised or 
participated in a scheme to defraud someone by using false or 
fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises.  
Number 2.  The false pretenses, representations, or 
promises were about a material fact.  
Number 3.  The defendant acted with the intent to 
defraud.  
And, number 4.  The defendant transmitted or caused to

be transmitted by wire some communication in interstate 
commerce to help carry out the scheme to defraud.  
A scheme to defraud means any plan or course of action 
intended to deceive or cheat someone out of money or property 
by using false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or 
promises.  
A statement or representation is false or fraudulent if 
it is about a material fact that the speaker knows is untrue or 
makes with reckless indifference to the truth, and makes with 
the intent to defraud.  A statement or representation may be 
false or fraudulent when it is a half-truth, or effectively 
conceals a material fact, and is made with the intent to 
defraud. 
A material fact is an important fact that a reasonable 
person would use to decide whether to do or not do something.  
A fact is material if it has the capacity or natural tendency 
to influence a person's decision.  It doesn't matter whether 
the decisionmaker actually relied on the statement or knew or 
should have known that the statement was false.  
To act with intent to defraud means to act knowingly 
and with a specific intent to use false or fraudulent 
pretenses, representations, or promises to cause -- excuse me, 
cause loss or injury.  Proving intent to deceive alone, without 
the intent to cause loss or injury, is not sufficient to prove 
intent to defraud.

The government does not have to prove all the details 
alleged in the indictment about the precise nature and purpose 
of the scheme.  It also doesn't have to prove that the material 
transmitted by interstate wire was itself false or fraudulent; 
or that using the wire was intended as the specific or 
exclusive means of carrying out the alleged fraud; or that the 
defendant personally made the transmission over the wire.  And 
it doesn't have to prove that the alleged scheme actually 
succeeded in defrauding anyone.  
To use interstate wire communications is to act so that 
something would normally be sent through wire, radio, or 
television communications in the normal course of business.  
Each separate use of the interstate wire communications 
as part of the scheme to defraud is a separate crime. 
No Defense to Blame Victim.  It is not a defense to the 
crime of wire fraud that the victim could have done something 
more than it did to prevent the offense.  In other words, if 
you find that the government has proven all of the elements of 
wire fraud beyond a reasonable doubt, it is no defense that 
such fraud might not have occurred if the victim had acted with 
greater care.  
Therefore, any evidence that the victim could have done 
something to prevent any fraud which you find occurred, or 
evidence that its procedures were somehow deficient, should not 
be considered by you as an excuse or defense to any wire fraud

which you find has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.  
Duty to Deliberate.  Your verdict, whether guilty or 
not guilty, must be unanimous.  In other words, you must all 
agree.  Your deliberations are secret, and you will never have 
to explain your verdict to anyone.  Each of you must decide the 
case for yourself, but only after fully considering the 
evidence with the other jurors.  So, you must discuss the case 
with one another and try to reach an agreement.  
While you are discussing the case, do not hesitate to 
reexamine your own opinion and change your mind if you become 
convinced that you were wrong, but do not give up your honest 
beliefs just because others think differently or because you 
simply want to get the case over with.  
Remember, ladies and gentlemen, that, in a very real 
way, you are judges, judges of the facts.  Your only interest 
is to seek the truth from the evidence in this case.  
Now Verdict.  When you get to the jury room, choose one 
of your members to act as foreperson.  The foreperson will 
direct your deliberations and will speak for you in court.  A 
verdict form has been prepared for your convenience, and I will 
go over that briefly in just a moment.  
Take the verdict form with you to the jury room.  When 
you have all agreed on the verdict, your foreperson must fill 
in the form, sign it, date it, and carry it.  Then you will 
return it to the courtroom.

If you wish to communicate with me at any time, please 
write down your message or question and give it to the marshal.  
The marshal will then bring it to me and I will respond as 
promptly as possible, either in writing or by talking to you in 
the courtroom.  But I caution you not to tell me how many 
jurors have voted one way or the other at that time.  
Now, looking briefly at the verdict form, I'm not going 
to read this out loud.  But, ladies and gentlemen, just note 
that it is two pages long.  It has a signature block and a date 
for the foreperson on page 2.  And it goes sequentially from 
1A, 1B, through 2, 3, 4, and 5.  And it has boxes there for you 
to check guilty or not guilty, depending on your conclusions.  
So, with that, given the time, ladies and gentlemen, it 
is almost 5:30.  It is too late to get started with the closing 
arguments.  So what we're going to do is adjourn for the day, 
resume tomorrow on time, at 9:00 a.m.  Please make sure you are 
here promptly.  At that point, we will begin with the closing 
arguments.  
Just so you are aware, each side is given the same 
amount of time, but because the government has the entire 
burden of proof in this case, the sequence is as follows:  
First the government goes and presents its closing argument, 
then you hear the defense counsel present a closing argument, 
and then the government has a final opportunity to address you.  
But the full time is the same as between both sides.

So as I have done every day, I will caution you again 
not to discuss this case, even amongst yourselves; and that is 
because you have not been permitted to begin your 
deliberations.  So maintain all of those instructions.  In 
other words, do not conduct any investigation, don't talk about 
this case with anybody, don't form any ultimate opinions until 
the case has been submitted to you for deliberations, have no 
contact with any of the attorneys, parties, or witnesses in the 
case, and, of course, do not engage online in any way, shape, 
or form with respect to this case.  
So, with that, have a pleasant evening.  We will see 
you promptly at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.  
All rise for the jury. 
(The jury exited the courtroom at 5:19 p.m.) 
THE COURT:  Please be seated.  
Okay.  Anything to address before we recess for the 
evening, Mr. Keller?  
MR. KELLER:  Your Honor, I have copies of the proposed 
redacted indictment.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  Please hand those over to 
Ms. Alexander.  
MR. KELLER:  (Tendering document.) 
THE COURT:  Okay.  Mr. O'Sullivan, any objections to 
the redacted indictment?  
MR. O'SULLIVAN:  Judge, it just appears that the

forfeiture allegations have been redacted, so I have no

THE COURT:  Okay.  That is correct.  
Have any other items been redacted, Mr. Keller, beyond 
the forfeiture allegations?  
MR. KELLER:  No, Your Honor, just the forfeiture in the 
back, and then the statute for the forfeiture on the first 
page. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  All right then.  So we will maintain 
these and provide them to the jury tomorrow.  
And with that, I wish you all a pleasant evening.  
Please be here promptly at 8:50 so you can get situated before 
we begin with the jury.  Thank you. 
MR. KELLER:  I'm sorry, Judge.  Can I ask one question 
for tomorrow?  
THE COURT:  Yes. 
MR. KELLER:  What is your policy with respect to 
submitting an exhibit list with the jury, if we were to agree 
with the defense on one that makes appropriate redactions?  
THE COURT:  You can confer with counsel to see if there 
is agreement on that.  I will make any decisions about that 
once that happens.  So... 
MR. KELLER:  Yes, Your Honor. 
THE COURT:  Okay.  
MR. KELLER:  Thank you.
