Cannon United States District Court Fort Pierce, Florida Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 1 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 2 (Call to the order of the Court.) THE COURT: Good afternoon. Please be seated unless you are addressing the Court. Let's call the case. COURTROOM DEPUTY: Calling case United States of America v. Dustin Sean McCabe, Case Number 24-cr-80103-Cannon. Counsel, please state your appearances for the record, starting with the United States. MR. KELLER: Good afternoon, Your Honor. Zachary Keller and Tanner Stiehl on behalf of the United States. THE COURT: Good afternoon to both of you. MS. FRANCIS: Good afternoon, Your Honor. Calisha Francis and Mr. Terrence O'Sullivan on behalf of Mr. Dustin Sean McCabe. THE COURT: Okay. Good afternoon, Ms. Francis and Mr. O'Sullivan. And good afternoon to you, Mr. McCabe. Who is here for probation? THE PROBATION OFFICER: Frances Weisberg on behalf of U.S. Probation. Good afternoon, Your Honor. THE COURT: Good afternoon, Officer. Okay. Mr. McCabe, this is your sentencing hearing, as you know. The purpose of today's proceeding is to determine a sentence that is reasonable, but not more than what is necessary to serve the statutory purposes that are outlined in Title 18, United States Code, Section 3553(a). Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 2 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 3 As you are also aware, you were adjudicated guilty of all counts in the indictment following a jury trial and jury verdict. There were a total of six counts -- excuse me, five counts in the indictment, the first of which is seaman's manslaughter in Count 1. The second offense was making a false statement within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001(a)(2). And then there were three counts of wire fraud, 3, 4, 5, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343. I obviously presided over the trial, so I'm fully familiar with the facts. I have also reviewed all of the filings pertinent to today's hearing, including the Presentence Investigation Report, the objections to that report that were filed by your attorney, the addendum, along with a sentencing memorandum filed by your counsel with some untimely additional objections. The government also has responded to the those PSI objections. And I think that covers the factual picture. Ms. Francis, are there any other items I overlooked for today's hearing? MS. FRANCIS: No, Your Honor. You have covered it all. THE COURT: Okay. Any from the United States? MR. KELLER: Nothing, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay then. Before we begin, let me ask whether any family members of the victim are present today and Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 3 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 4 wish to be heard. MR. KELLER: Yes, Your Honor. So first I will note the family members of the victim that are here. There is Tiffany Ghiz, Jack Ghiz, Josh Ghiz, Nick Ghiz, and also, Your Honor, Sean Flynn, Mollie's husband is here as well. As far as who will be speaking, Tiffany Ghiz and Sean Flynn will be speaking. THE COURT: Okay. And do you wish to have those statements following the resolution of the PSI objections? MR. KELLER: Yes, Your Honor, at your -- at your discretion, however you prefer to have it. THE COURT: Okay. Then we will give anybody who wishes to speak an opportunity to do so, and that also applies, of course, to any defense witnesses or character references. So, with that, let me ask Ms. Francis, have you had a full opportunity to review the PSI with Mr. McCabe? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. It was reviewed with Mr. McCabe with Mr. Terrence O'Sullivan. THE COURT: Okay. Stay standing, please. I have a few more questions. Briefly walk me through the process that you went through to review the PSI with Mr. McCabe. MS. FRANCIS: Okay. Your Honor, if I may have Mr. O'Sullivan -- THE COURT: Okay. Mr. O'Sullivan, the question is: Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 4 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 5 Please walk us through briefly the process that you went through to review the PSI with Mr. McCabe and answer any sentencing-related questions. MR. O'SULLIVAN: Judge, as the Court knows Mr. McCabe is at the St. Lucie County Jail, so I visited Mr. McCabe there several times, and we went over the PSI. And we have also spoken on the phone. And me and Ms. Francis have discussed it between ourselves, the objections and the contents of the PSI. THE COURT: Okay. MR. O'SULLIVAN: As well as -- THE COURT: Please continue. MR. O'SULLIVAN: As well as speaking to his family members who are here. They were very involved in the posttrial motions and discussions. THE COURT: Okay. All right. Then let me ask you another question, Mr. O'Sullivan. Do you believe you have answered Mr. McCabe's questions to his satisfaction? MR. O'SULLIVAN: I believe I have, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay then. All right. Let's swear Mr. McCabe in, please. COURTROOM DEPUTY: Please stand and raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you are about to give in this cause shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 5 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 6 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am. COURTROOM DEPUTY: Thank you. THE COURT: Okay. You may take a seat, sir. Please provide the microphone to Mr. McCabe. Okay. Mr. McCabe, did you hear my exchange with your attorneys regarding your preparation for today? THE DEFENDANT: Yes. THE COURT: Do you agree with everything they have said? THE DEFENDANT: Yes. THE COURT: Are you fully prepared to proceed today with sentencing? THE DEFENDANT: Yes. THE COURT: And have they answered all of your questions to your satisfaction? THE DEFENDANT: Yes. THE COURT: Okay then. All right. I do want to make a note that there was an outstanding motion for judgment of acquittal which was resolved by written order today. So I trust the parties are aware of the Court's ruling on that motion. Okay. Let's begin now to address any unresolved factual objections to the PSI. There were a number of items. And so my question, Ms. Francis -- and I'm not sure who is handling today's hearing in bulk. Is that going to be you or Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 6 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 7 Mr. O'Sullivan? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. I will be addressing the objections. THE COURT: Okay. So the way we are going to do this is, we are going to start with the factual objections, anything that you think is factually inaccurate in the PSI, and then we're going to move into any legal objections, in other words, any specific offense characteristics that you do not think should be applied as far as calculating the advisory guideline range. Do you follow the structure? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Judge. THE COURT: Okay then. All right. So first alert me to the first unresolved factual objection to the PSI, and please be specific as far as which paragraph you think contains inaccurate information. MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. Your Honor, if I can begin with the defendant objecting to the phrase of "scheme to defraud" and "used to enrich himself." And that was contained in the PSR, and it was contained in numerous places. Judge, may I address from the podium? THE COURT: It's -- it's preferable that you stay where you are, actually, because I'm going to be going back and forth between you and government counsel. So just stay where you Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 7 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 8 are, please. And if you need another microphone, then you can switch spots. MS. FRANCIS: Understood. Is it okay if I hold my laptop, Your Honor? THE COURT: That's fine. MS. FRANCIS: Okay. Thank you, Judge. THE COURT: Okay. All right. So with respect to this first objection, I see it here, you take issue with the phrase "scheme to defraud" and "used to enrich himself" and "in furtherance of the scheme." What is the basis of your objection, ma'am? MS. FRANCIS: Well, Your Honor, what we are asserting is that these terms mirror the government's charging language, and it does go beyond the jury's verdict. We do request that the language -- or we did request that the language be replaced to reflect that the defendant was convicted of submitting materially inaccurate PPP loan applications, which is what the jury determined, and that is what meets the elements of 18 U.S.C. 1343. THE COURT: Okay. But you would agree that the "scheme to defraud" language comes directly from Counts 3, 4, and 5, and, of course, the jury convicted him on those three counts; correct? MS. FRANCIS: I agree with you, Your Honor. We do agree with that, that it does mirror the charging language. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 8 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 9 However, we assert that it goes beyond the jury's verdict. There was -- THE COURT: But for what reason? This is what -- I'm failing to see any daylight between the charging document and the convictions reached by the jury on these three wire fraud counts. MS. FRANCIS: Judge, what we believe is that this is prejudicial to the defendant. THE COURT: Okay. Okay. Well, Mr. Keller? MR. KELLER: So, Your Honor, the government responded to this objection, I just want to note for the record. And I know you know, but in docket entry 117, on page 5, at the top, this is objection 2, the two responses we have -- and because on the one hand there is the scheme issue and then there is the unjustly enriched issue -- is that as far as the scheme, you're correct in pointing to the charging language, but it even is in the elements of the offense. So not only is it listed in the indictment that the defendant engaged in a scheme, but also the jury needed to necessarily find that by finding that the -- all four elements were proven. THE COURT: And that information and that language was in the jury instructions; correct? MR. KELLER: Yes, as to the scheme issue. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 9 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 10 And then as to the unjustly enriched issue, the government's position is that we provided ample evidence of that during the trial. The defendant got the money that he applied for, for these PPP loans. He spent it on things like a golf club membership that, under any reasonable definition of unjust enrichment, that is exactly what happened here. So our position is that both of those aspects of the PSI language are appropriate. THE COURT: Okay. This factual objection will be overruled. I think for all of the reasons stated by the United States, I see no basis to deviate from the jury's finding of fraud on those counts, nor do I agree that use of that language in the PSI somehow goes beyond the jury's verdict. And I think there was ample evidence to show the fraud, including, of course, the golf membership, which was obtained using funds to which the defendant wasn't entitled through the false statements that he made to the -- to banks at issue. So next factual objection. MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. We are objecting to paragraph 98 of the PSR. 98 references employment complaints from a former employee. It includes reprimands and altercations that are unrelated to the instant offense. What we are asserting are that these incidents were never adjudicated. They did not result in any Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 10 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 11 kind of discipline that's related to this case. They have no probative value regarding any character or criminal history. What we're arguing is that the inclusion of this information is unfairly prejudicial. And it invites the Court to rely on unverified hearsay to assess his conduct. So, Judge, it is -- what we're saying is that we submit that this information should be stricken from the PSR since the allegations are not linked to any type of criminal conviction or formal misconduct. It serves no legitimate purpose. THE COURT: Okay. And so looking at -- paragraph 98, I think you said? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Judge. THE COURT: Is that the only place you see this information? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. THE COURT: Do you disagree that his employee file included these items? I know you may take issue with the ultimate reliability of the complaints, but is it inaccurate to say that his employee file actually had those items in it? MS. FRANCIS: No, Judge, that is accurate. The employee file did contain these reprimands and altercations. Our argument is that these incidents were never adjudicated and it didn't result in any kind of discipline. THE COURT: Okay. MS. FRANCIS: And that should not be -- Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 11 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 12 THE COURT: Okay. So if there were to be an addition to paragraph 98 to, I guess, emphasize your point that none of these employee complaints resulted in formal discipline, would that cure your objection? MS. FRANCIS: That would, Your Honor. In addition to that, what we are asking for is it to be stricken completely from the PSR since the allegations are not linked to these criminal charges or any kind of formal misconduct. What we're saying is that it serves no legitimate purpose. It should be stricken. But, yes, Your Honor, if something was added, that would accomplish the same result. THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Keller, anything on this issue? MR. KELLER: Just briefly, Your Honor. And this is objection 6 that the government responded to on page 7 of docket entry 117. And our position here is essentially that, because they do not contest the facts -- the PSI is for all types of different evidence of the defendant's history, his characteristics. His employment history is included in that. We don't think it's unduly prejudicial to have it in there because the PSI is supposed to have that type of stuff in there, just in the same way that it has information relating to family history. So because the defense doesn't object to the truthfulness of the actual conduct or the -- or the facts in there, our position is that, to Your Honor's suggestion, that Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 12 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 13 what is appropriate is that those facts remain in the PSI, but that there be an addendum that includes the defendant's, you know, characterization, his description of them because we don't contest what he is saying. We are not going to bring a witness here to testify about whether those are just reprimands or whatnot. So we don't object to the inclusion of the additional language the defense proposes. THE COURT: Okay. With respect to the requests made by the defendant to strike paragraph 98 in its entirety, that request will be denied. I think this information is accurate as written. I also think it's proper -- properly included in the PSI. I see no legal basis to remove it. That said, for completeness, I will direct probation to add the following language to paragraph 98: None of these items in the defendant's employee file resulted in formal discipline, and the defendant objects to the characterization of his employment history. Okay. Anything further on that subject? MS. FRANCIS: No, Judge. THE COURT: Okay. Next factual objection. MS. FRANCIS: Judge, we are objecting to paragraphs 5, 18, 22, and 24 of the PSR. Again, that was 5, 18, 22, and 24. There, Judge, the PSR repeatedly implies that Mr. McCabe engaged in intentional wrongdoing or deception by operating his vessel as a recreational vessel. What we are asserting is that Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 13 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 14 his vessel was lawfully classified as a recreational vessel under the UPVA. We maintain that the law explicitly permits the operation of vessels carrying six or fewer passengers for hire without formal Coast Guard inspection or certification as a commercial passenger vessel. What we're arguing is that this classification was legally appropriate and consistent with federal marine time [sic] regulations, and that suggesting that he acted with criminal intent simply for using a lawful and recognized vessel classification distorts the facts and improperly colors the narrative of both the manslaughter and the fraud charges. So, Judge, what we are requesting is that all references to the vessel classification as misleading, deceptive, improper be removed or revised from the PSR report. THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Keller. MR. KELLER: And, Judge, I believe that this is objection 7, which the government responds to at docket entry 117 on page 7. And our response here is that the defendant, Mr. McCabe, was convicted of lying intentionally about the purpose of this vessel to the Coast Guard. That when we say he was intentionally lying, that was part of what the jury was finding in convicting him. This was a specific intent crime in that sense. THE COURT: Are you referring to Count 2? MR. KELLER: Yes, Your Honor. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 14 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 15 THE COURT: Okay. Please continue. MR. KELLER: And so when the PSI is describing the defendant as intentionally lying about the purpose of his vessel, that is exactly what was proven at trial, that is exactly what the jury convicted him of, and it is, therefore, appropriate. THE COURT: Okay. For the reasons stated by the government, both orally and in writing, I am going to overrule this objection. I understand you might take issue with the jury's finding, but I think there is no basis to disturb that finding, and it's clear to the Court that the defendant's material lies on the Coast Guard forms with respect to the purported recreational nature of the vessel were proven and that nothing in the PSI is inconsistent with the trial evidence as received and ultimately found by the jury. So next factual objection. MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Judge. Thank you. Judge, I would like to address the two-level enhancement under USSG 3B1. THE COURT: Okay. So before we get there, I just want to make sure, do you have any other factual challenge to the PSI? In other words, any language that you think is incorrect? MS. FRANCIS: No, Your Honor. We have put forth all of our objections in the memorandum, and that would be it for us -- for our oral arguments on the PSR objections for today. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 15 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 16 THE COURT: Okay. I just want to make sure that you raise right now any additional factual objections that you previously raised that we may not have addressed today. Are there any other factual objections that we haven't talked about that need to be resolved right now? MS. FRANCIS: No, Your Honor, no additional factual objections. THE COURT: Okay. All right. So now we're going to shift and talk about any enhancements that you think are not applicable. So you can return to that argument, please. MS. FRANCIS: Thank you, Judge. Judge, what we would like to address is that two-level enhancement under Statute 3BI -- I'm sorry -- 1.3 for alleged use of a special skill in the commission of the offense. The Presentence Investigation Report applies this enhancement based on Mr. McCabe's status as a licensed boat captain. However, the law is clear, particularly under the Eleventh Circuit's guidance in United States v. Ward. Again, that was United States v. Ward. That the government must show not only that the defendant possessed a special skill, but that he used that skill in a manner that was -- significantly facilitated the commission or concealment of the offense. Judge, in this case that standard is not met. The offense of conviction, seaman's manslaughter, applies only to certain maritime professionals, including captains. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 16 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 17 Mr. McCabe's role as a vessel captain is not merely incidental. It is an element of the offense. That skill is already incorporated into the base offense level. The enhancement, therefore, constitutes impermissible double counting. Moreover, Judge, there is no evidence that Mr. McCabe used specialized knowledge or training, such as advanced navigation or seamanship or evasive tactics to further or conceal the offense. The conduct at issue was tragic, but it was not executed through any misuse of any special skill. Accordingly, Judge, the enhancement should not apply. And without it, the total offense level would be 24, and the applicable guideline range would be reduced to 51 to 63 months. THE COURT: Okay. Let me ask you something. Did you make these arguments in a timely objection to the PSI? MS. FRANCIS: No, Your Honor. These were provided yesterday in the memorandum. THE COURT: Okay. You understand, correct, that there is a time period for the filing of objections to the PSI, and that's all by design so that the government has a chance to respond and then probation can respond like it did in the initial addendum that was filed in early June? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. We understand and we know that we did not abide by the time constraints. But based on the severity of the sentence that he is facing, we wanted to bring it to the Court's attention. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 17 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 18 In addition to that, Mr. McCabe has also sought outside counsel. And it was after meeting with that counsel that these issues were raised. So we apologize for the untimeliness. But we feel that it's important that the Court addresses it due to the fact that he is facing prison time. THE COURT: Okay. All right. Well, I'm pretty sure that the prospect of an incarceration was self-evident at the moment of remand. But, in any case, Mr. Keller, why don't you address the merits of this untimely objection. MR. KELLER: Yes, Your Honor. So just to begin with where the defense talks about it's baked into the guidelines of the base offense level because of the fact that there was a commercial vessel involved, the government respectfully disagrees with that. That's -- that -- what we look at for these -- for these cases is the nature of the facts that happened here. And here what you have is a defendant who was someone who was in a position of trust, someone who was believed by every person who testified who was on that boat, that they were looking to him to keep them safe. And, in fact, that that is his specific role, is to keep them safe and to have the boat in working order, to have the propellers in working order and not present a danger to his passengers. And the reason I say that that matters is because it's Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 18 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 19 different than, for example, in the Fifth Circuit case O'Keefe you had a tugboat captain who crashed into someone else. And there it's a very different fact pattern because the victim didn't have this relationship with the person who perpetrated the crime. Here the relationship between Dustin McCabe, Mr. McCabe, the defendant, and Mollie Ghiz-Flynn, the victim, was one where Ms. Ghiz-Flynn put trust in him, just like Sean Flynn did, and we heard him testify about it. And one in which they relied on him to use his specialized knowledge, his scuba knowledge as a scuba charter captain, which he had been doing for many years, in order to put themselves -- and them being these passengers -- in the position to be in his care in the first place. So our position is that, given the context here, given that Mr. McCabe was a scuba charter captain, given the fact that he was a merchant, a licensed merchant mariner, given the fact that these passengers repeatedly testified that they were putting their trust in him based upon his knowledge, based upon his role as their captain, that that is enough, and sufficient for this Court to apply the 3B1.3 enhancement for the use of a special skill in the commission of the offense, which was his bringing these people on this boat when he knew there was a problem and not warning them for it. THE COURT: Okay. And what do you say with respect to Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 19 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 20 the claim of double counting based on the terms of 2A1.4 which sets the base offense level of 22 if the offense involved the reckless operation of a means of transportation? MR. KELLER: And this is what I was meaning to get at about the tugboat captain who maybe was using drugs, for example, which is the O'Keefe fact pattern. That what you have there is someone who is recklessly operating a means of transportation, but there is no obvious skill, there is no obvious relationship of trust between that defendant and the person who was the victim. That in that situation it's much more arguable as to whether this additional enhancement should apply. So that's just to say that, just because someone is involved in the reckless operation of a means of transportation doesn't mean that they're necessarily employing a specialized skill. They could be recklessly just at the helm and they're doing whatever they're doing, whether they're on drugs, whether -- whatever the reason is. There, there might be other enhancements that might apply. There might be an upward variance, given the egregious nature of what they did, but you wouldn't have this specific enhancement apply because they're not employing a specialized skill; they're, instead, just acting in a grossly reckless way. THE COURT: Okay. And so the specialized skill here, I think you have described it as -- as being the licensed captain Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 20 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 21 operating a vessel which is marketed as a -- as a paid-for-hire service, which then necessarily involves a level of trust to the paying customers, and then -- I'm just trying to fully articulate the basis for this enhancement beyond just the reckless operation of the transportation. MR. KELLER: Well, and we would -- the government would add to that the nature of scuba, that he was a scuba charter captain specifically. And one of the things that we really tried to emphasize to the jury during trial is that when we are talking scuba, we are talking about the danger of the propellers in a different kind of way than we are, for example, with a fishing charter. So when we have someone like Mr. McCabe, who is an expert or who has been working in the scuba charter area specifically, he is someone who they're relying on to keep it safe, specific -- specifically as it relates to those propellers. So that is something that makes his knowledge even more specialized and even more important, given the danger that those propellers present. THE COURT: Okay. All right. Final argument, Ms. Francis. MS. FRANCIS: Thank you, Judge. I just want to point out that the guideline expressedly prohibits application where the special skill is already incorporated into the base level -- the base offense level. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 21 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 22 The adjustment may not be employed if an abuse of trust or skill is included in the base level or specific offense characteristics. That goes to the statute. Judge, the Eleventh Circuit has clarified that the government has to establish both that the defendant possessed a special skill and that the defendant used that skill in a manner that significantly facilitated the commission or concealment of the offense. Here, the offense of conviction, seaman's manslaughter, it inherently applies only to persons in maritime positions such as captains. So Mr. McCabe's role as a vessel captain is an element of the offense. They were required to prove that at trial. And the use of that status is already contemplated in the base level offense. So if we apply that enhancement, it is double counting. Further, Your Honor, the PSI fails to establish that Mr. McCabe used his maritime training or captain's license to facilitate or conceal the offense in a manner beyond the required -- that's required for the offense itself. There is no allegation or evidence that specialized navigational knowledge or any other type of special skill was misused in any way that significantly contributed to the commission or concealment of the offense. Therefore, legally and factually it is inapplicable and it must be removed. Removal of this two-level enhancement would reduce Mr. McCabe's total offense level to 24. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 22 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 23 And that is our argument, Judge. THE COURT: All right. Thank you. With respect to the challenge here, the two-level application of the special skill enhancement -- and this is reflected in paragraph -- one moment -- 45 of the PSI -- the objection is overruled for the reasons stated by the government. The base offense level of 22 applies for offenses involving the reckless operation of a means of transportation. It does not, by that language, necessitate the use of a special skill, as was employed here to facilitate the offense. As we know from the trial evidence, Mr. McCabe is a licensed scuba charter captain that used that status and that licensure and his reputation as such to convince folks to come on his boat for payment. Those individuals trusted his expertise and yet he obviously failed remarkably in his expectations and ultimately resulted in the death of the victim in this case. So I think the use of the special skill enhancement is warranted, and I don't see a special counting, a special -- excuse me, a double counting issue, looking at the language of 2A1.4(a)(2)(B). For the reasons stated by Mr. Keller, that guideline provision doesn't necessarily mandate the use of a special skill, which is why this enhancement exists. And I think it does properly apply here based on the Court's review of all of the facts and circumstances. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 23 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 24 Okay. So that objection will be overruled. Let me return for a moment -- Ms. Francis, you had raised, I think, some additional factual challenges to the PSI, and I just want to make sure that the record is complete. Looking at your docket entry, 115, Counsel, can you just ensure that there is no additional factual challenge that you've raised that wasn't discussed today? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. We have found in paragraphs 46 and 52 -- THE COURT: Again, we're just sticking with what you have actually objected to in the papers. MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Judge. THE COURT: So this wouldn't be the time for brand-new items that you have just conjured up. I'm looking at what did you actually file, and I just want to make sure that we're covering what it is that you flagged in the written objections. MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Judge, this was in the written objections. THE COURT: Okay. So where are we? We have talked about language implying direct causation of death. MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Judge. THE COURT: We've addressed that; correct? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. And that was overruled. We talked about prosecutorial language and fraud Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 24 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 25 descriptions. That also was addressed and overruled; correct? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Judge. THE COURT: Okay. So then anything more on objection number 3, as you've described it, "language suggesting intent beyond the verdict"? MS. FRANCIS: No, Your Honor. Just claims of perjury. That was included in the PSR report. That's what we wanted to -- THE COURT: That's the extra stuff. Okay. So objection 3 was resolved factually. MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Judge. THE COURT: All those factual objections, the Court finds, are just contrary to the trial evidence and to the jury's verdict. Okay. So we still need to address objection 4, which is the obstruction of justice enhancement. Okay. Are you still maintaining an objection to the inclusion of funeral expenses and emotional losses? MS. FRANCIS: No, Your Honor. THE COURT: So that is being abandoned? MS. FRANCIS: That's correct. THE COURT: Okay. I'm going to note that objection 5 to inclusion of funeral expenses and emotional losses. And so am I correct then that there is no longer a challenge to the permissibility of restitution to cover those Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 25 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 losses? MS. FRANCIS: Judge, may I have a minute with my -- THE COURT: Yes, you may. Let's turn the white noise on, please. (Discussion between counsel and defendant.) MS. FRANCIS: Thank you, Your Honor. We are ready to proceed. THE COURT: Okay. MS. FRANCIS: And Mr. Sullivan will address the Court, Judge. THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Sullivan. MR. O'SULLIVAN: Thank you, Your Honor. As far as restitution goes, the victim's family has submitted a letter requesting restitution, however, the crime for which Mr. McCabe was convicted under the seaman's manslaughter is not covered by the Mandatory Victim Restitution Act. THE COURT: Okay. I think everybody agrees it wouldn't be mandatory, but the question is, it is permissible under Title 18, United States Code, Section 3663. MR. O'SULLIVAN: It's permissible, but not mandatory. THE COURT: Okay. And so I think we're all in agreement that it's not mandatory, it's permissive only. So are you still maintaining an objection to the imposition of permissive restitution under the facts and circumstances of Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 26 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 27 this case? MR. O'SULLIVAN: I think that would, of course, be up to the Court. We would ask that restitution not be part of this case, as there was a separate civil settlement that should have covered that, but, of course, it's up to the Court. THE COURT: Well, this is where I want to explore the argument. Okay. So do you understand that it would be the defendant's burden to prove that an offset is warranted to the restitution order? MR. O'SULLIVAN: Yes, Judge, I understand that. THE COURT: Okay. So what evidence can you prove or present to me to show that an offset is warranted perhaps because the money received by the beneficiary of a policy was intended to compensate for the funeral expenses that are now being sought? MR. O'SULLIVAN: I mean, the only thing that we can proffer to the Court is that there was a separate civil suit in the amount of $300,000 that was paid out already. And that covers -- we believe that covers what any potential restitution in this case would cover for funeral expenses. THE COURT: Okay. Do you know who the beneficiary of that policy was? MR. O'SULLIVAN: I do not. THE COURT: Do you know if the payout was intended to Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 27 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 28 compensate for funeral expenses? MR. O'SULLIVAN: I don't have that judgment and sentence in the civil action, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. All right. Let me hear from the government on this restitution issue specifically. MR. KELLER: Judge, the government responded to this issue on page 6 of docket entry 117. And, in essence, it's exactly what you said, which is that the defense was citing to the Mandatory Restitution Act, when this is not mandatory. We're not contesting that. But there is restitution that can be levied. And here Ms. Tiffany Ghiz has provided an estimate of her restitution. And, you know, at the end of this hearing we will be asking for the hearing to be set for 90 days out, and we expect that we will reach a stipulation with the defense once we show them documentation relating to that. But our position here today is that, and as the law is clear, that funeral expenses are absolutely covered by the restitution laws, and that they actually specifically say that it pays, quote, "an amount equal to the costs of necessary funeral and related services." So our position is that all of that is covered and will be appropriate restitution here. THE COURT: Okay. All right. The objection, as briefed in docket entry 115, was a request to remove from the PSI any references to funeral expenses, emotional distress, and Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 28 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 29 victim impact letters relating to Count 1. This was all under the mistaken impression that restitution in this case fell within the mandatory restitution provision in 3663(A). That's not the case. Restitution is legally permissible under 3663, although a restitution hearing will be set for a future date, not to exceed 90 days from today, at which time the parties can present any additional evidence they wish with respect to the quantity of restitution. And, Mr. McCabe, if there is any evidence your side wishes to bring to bear in support of an offset to that amount, please note it would be the defense burden to prove that necessity for an offset. Any further discussion to be had on objection number 5, Mr. O'Sullivan? MR. O'SULLIVAN: No, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. So that objection has been resolved. We've also resolved objection number 6, which is the non-adjudicated employment complaints; that was done earlier today. Okay. Ms. Francis, anything left on docket entry 115 to address today? I know we still need to do the obstruction. MS. FRANCIS: No, Your Honor. We have covered objections 6, 7, and 8, 5, 4, 2, and 3. Yes, Your Honor, we have covered all of the objections. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 29 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 30 THE COURT: And then 9 and 10 as well? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. We did cover that as well, objection 9 and 10. THE COURT: Okay. Those factual objections were overruled, again, based on the trial evidence. I would say the majority of these factual challenges just take issue with the trial evidence, present a different view of the facts. The jury clearly rejected that theory. So, all right, that leaves one remaining legal objection to the PSI, and that concerns the obstruction enhancement applied in paragraph 46. Let me start here with Mr. Keller. MR. KELLER: Judge, Mr. McCabe testified for just about an entire trial day. He testified from about 11:00 in the morning until about 4:45 in the afternoon. And he lied about basically every aspect of this case. I have -- I have crossed four defendants before. I have seen probably a half dozen others. I have never seen a defendant lie about every single aspect of a case. Usually they just lie about a couple things, or try to, you know, twist the facts at the very end. Mr. McCabe lied about the -- what caused the death of Ms. Ghiz-Flynn, claiming it was the waves that sucked her under. He lied about the fact that he submitted the PPP loan applications, saying that maybe the bank was just lying about that. He lied about whether he ran the vessel aground the day Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 30 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 31 before. We had five witnesses come and testify about the vessel running aground. Mr. McCabe insisted that he dropped anchor, even though all of those people were experienced in being on boats, some of them were people who worked at the dock, and yet Mr. McCabe just relentlessly lied about thing after thing during this testimony. So our position is that Your Honor was here as he did that for an entire day, and that it was self-evident during that, that he was lying, and it was self-evident that he was lying with the jury convicting him. Because if they had bought anything he had been selling, then they wouldn't have convicted him on every single count. In fact, for the government, you know, a feature of our rebuttal was the fact that the defendant had just spent an entire day lying to the jury about everything about this case. So our position -- and we're going to make this argument as we talk about an appropriate sentence -- is that this obstruction enhancement is absolutely appropriate and that, really, it doesn't even do justice to what this defendant did as he took the stand during this trial. THE COURT: Okay. So the specific intentional lies you are relying on, are those the ones itemized in paragraph 36, subsection A through H? MR. KELLER: Let me just -- yes, Your Honor, those -- any one of those would be a sufficient basis, but we Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 31 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 32 would submit that all of those were lies that he told us, he testified. THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Francis or Mr. O'Sullivan. MS. FRANCIS: Yes. Thank you, Judge. Paragraph 36 improperly applies the two-level enhancement. This is based on the alleged perjury without specific judicial finding that Mr. McCabe gave false testimony. THE COURT: Well, that's what we're doing here now. We are going to decide whether what he said obstructed justice by providing material, false information in connection with this criminal proceeding. And so what I need to hear from you now is why isn't the record quite clear that Mr. McCabe lied on all of those subjects as itemized in paragraph 36? MS. FRANCIS: Well, Judge, what we would proffer is that we believe that Mr. McCabe did not lie. His conduct throughout the proceedings, it reflects a meaningful degree of personal accountability that the Court may consider. Prior to the trial, Mr. McCabe even stipulated that he would not pursue a defense strategy of blaming or shifting blame to any government witnesses or even the victim. So he did not seek to minimize the seriousness of the offense; he told his story. He understands the level and degree of seriousness of the offense and that a life was lost. His conduct during the trial was respectful, restrained. It was Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 32 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 33 devoid of any tactics that was intended to inflame or prolong the proceedings. So while asserting his legal defenses, Mr. McCabe consistently demonstrated more responsibility for the incident. So we believe that he was able to exercise his legal right of proceeding to trial and that he told his story. THE COURT: Okay. But the question is, was the story a lie? And it's hard to see how it wasn't, with respect. You have a boat captain who is literally advancing a theory that a woman died because she was naturally, through the organic movement of the waves, thrust into a propeller. Yet the evidence was overwhelming that there was a malfunction on the boat and that she, in fact, was wound up in this engaged propeller; and, of course, all of this coming after the notice issues the day before. It's very hard to see how this ocean current theory was anywhere in the realm of reality. MS. FRANCIS: No, Judge, we do not proffer that Mr. McCabe lied. Based on the testimony of the medical examiner himself, he prescribed that the propeller could not have been engaged, and that the wounds, although they looked bad, were superficial, and that her life would have been saved. So, Judge, we do not pro offer [sic] that he lied. We do not believe the propeller was engaged. The testimony of the medical examiner also, you know, revealed that if it was engaged, the wounds would have been more detrimental and that Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 33 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 34 her life would have been saved. So there was plenty testimony on the opposite side, but there was testimony that did go with what Mr. McCabe said while he was being cross-examined. So, Judge, we would not say that he lied. We presented testimony that his mechanic came on board, that he tried to rectify the issues. In no way, shape or form is he trying to shift the blame to anyone. What he did, Judge, was tell his story. He believes in his story, and that was corroborated by the medical examiner. So, Judge, at this time we would say that -- THE COURT: Okay. MS. FRANCIS: -- his defenses at trial were warranted, and it was his right to present those defenses. THE COURT: Well, he certainly has a right to present a defense. What he doesn't have a right to do is tell intentional lies. Let me hear from Mr. Keller. MR. KELLER: Judge, this defendant during this trial -- and we just have talked about this, so I don't know how much more I can even say about it -- that when the jury rejected everything he told them, that was them finding the facts here, that was them finding that he lied to them about everything having to do with this case; about the PPP loans, where he said that I didn't know that I was submitting an application; where he said I didn't think that Jennifer Hester told me about this Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 34 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 35 problem with the propellers the day before. Every bit of it is stuff that the jury rejected and said that wasn't true. For them to have accepted any of it, they wouldn't have been able to convict him on all of these crimes. So our position is really that simple. That this defendant got up in front of a jury, pulled out an easel and drew waves on a piece of paper and was trying to convince them that that's what killed Ms. Ghiz-Flynn, like it was a joke, talking like he was going out to lunch with his buddies. Our position is -- THE COURT: What do you say with respect to the ME's testimony? From what I recall, the cause of death was drowning exacerbated by the chop wounds; if she had not been wound up in the engaged propeller, then perhaps she could have survived if given air, but ultimately she was unable to be unhinged from the propeller because it had engaged and then wrapped into her suit. MR. KELLER: That is still saying that the engine -- that the propeller had engaged, which is not what Mr. McCabe was trying to convince this jury. He was trying to convince them that it was all windmilling, that this was just a matter of the waves going up and down, which was a ridiculous theory and one that he, frankly -- and knew better than to try to pitch to them. But he, being a sea captain, thinking he would be able to convince them, went for it. And our position is Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 35 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 36 that that was a brazen lie, just like everything else he testified to, so that the enhancement should apply. THE COURT: Okay. Having sat through the trial, I am going to overrule this objection, find that the PSI accurately applies the adjustment for obstruction of justice under 3C1.1. The various categories of lies are itemized in the PSI, and I think all of those are well taken and supported by the trial record. I think the claim that Mr. McCabe didn't minimize the seriousness of the offense is belied by the record, to say the least. I don't believe there has been any meaningful degree of personal responsibility, as claimed by counsel today. And I think although the defendant did tell a story, it was an intentionally false story running through various categories, not least of which included falsely disclaiming the grounding the day before, claiming that the victim died due to windmilling, which was flatly false, testifying that his business was operational when it clearly was not. And so for all those reasons and based on the false testimony itemized in the PSI, I will be applying the adjustment for obstruction of justice. Does that cover all of the objections to the PSI, Ms. Francis? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. Any objections to raise from the Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 36 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 37 United States? MR. KELLER: No, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. All right. Then having resolved and denied or otherwise handled all of the PSI objections, factual and legal, let me go ahead and adopt the PSI in full, with the slight clarification I made earlier, and state for the record, the applicable calculations which are as follows: Total Offense Level of 26, Criminal History Category Of I. This produces an advisory guideline range of 63 to 78 months' imprisonment, a supervised release range of one to three years, a fine range of $25,000 to $250,000, although no fine is recommended, and a mandatory special assessment of $100 -- $100 per count, for a total of $500. Is all of that correct, Ms. Francis, based on the Court's rulings? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Keller? MR. KELLER: Yes, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. Then having calculated the applicable advisory guideline range, let me hear first from the United States. And if you wish to present any family member testimony, you may do so now. MR. KELLER: Yes, Your Honor. So the first person who will speak will be Ms. Tiffany Ghiz. THE COURT: Good afternoon, ma'am. If you could please Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 37 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 38 walk up to the lectern, and tell me your name and then make your statement, please. MS. GHIZ: Hi. My name is Tiffany Ghiz. THE COURT: You can go ahead, ma'am. MS. GHIZ: The only thing I just want to say is that there was a lot of choices that were made with this incident, and he decided to choose a few fares over the life of my sister. She wasn't just a sister to me. She was an aunt to many; we have five brothers. He took away a wife, a daughter, an aunt, you know? It wasn't just a -- a charter fare. She was a person and she meant something. You could have just had the boat checked, like you said you were going to do, but you didn't. You chose a couple hundred dollars over my sister's life. And that's why it hurts so bad, because you were warned: Hey, check out your boat, dude. Something is wrong. But you didn't. You chose the fare, a couple hundred bucks. And now you got this -- all of us hurt. And it's going to go on for generations that it's going to hurt because she's got nieces and nephews she never got to meet. It's been a horrible situation that you put our family through, and Sean. And I just wish to God you would have thought about somebody besides yourself. I'm going to end it with that. Thank you. THE COURT: Thank you. Just one question. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 38 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 39 You were Ms. Flynn's sister? MS. GHIZ: Uh-huh. THE COURT: That's correct? MS. GHIZ: Uh-huh. She was my only sister. She was my gift from God. I was so happy when she was born. THE COURT: Thank you, ma'am. You may take a seat. Any other statements? MR. KELLER: So, Your Honor, Mr. Flynn is going to speak. THE COURT: Okay. MR. FLYNN: Thank you, Your Honor. THE COURT: Thank you. MR. FLYNN: This will be fairly brief, even though I have had years to think about this. The only thing that I would like the Court to consider is, throughout your life you have friends, you have best friends. I will never have a best friend like her. She was my best friend. She was everything to me. I have never met anybody like her, and I probably will never meet anybody like her again. She was a one-of-a-kind person. So -- and for that, like I said, that's a burden that I have to live with, the family has to live with. I understand that people make choices, and obviously those choices have led to bad decisions. For me, like I said, that's an emotional toll that I will carry for the rest of my life. Thank you. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 39 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 40 THE COURT: Thank you, sir. Any other statements, Mr. Keller? MR. KELLER: No, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay then. Please present your argument for sentencing. MR. KELLER: Yes, Your Honor. And just to begin with what the government's recommendation is, and we said this in our sentencing memorandum, that we're recommending a top of the guideline sentence, so 78 months. Although I will, frankly, say that in preparing for this sentencing, as I have thought more and more about it, I absolutely think that above -- a sentence above that would absolutely be within this Court's discretion and appropriate. In explaining why a top of the guidelines, at a minimum, sentence is appropriate, the government wants to highlight three aspects of this case. The first is the extremely reckless nature of the defendant's conduct and the horrific consequences that it had. This wasn't just a matter of someone drowning. This was a matter of someone getting brutally chopped up in front of their spouse. This defendant is someone who knew the dangers of this particular type of activity that he had been engaging in for years. He had a propeller that was turning on and that had almost killed someone just the day before. He knew about it. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 40 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 41 He was told about it and he did nothing. And because of that, Ms. Ghiz-Flynn is dead. And one of the things that is a hallmark of the conduct in this trial that we heard time and again from witness after witness about Mr. McCabe is that this conduct is very much in keeping with the way that he treats everybody. That he bought that boat with someone else's credit; that person ended up being on the hook for it. That he cuts corners. That he wants to do what he wants to do. He had a vision of what this business would be, and he wasn't going to let something like someone's safety stop him. And when we look at the consequences, at the carnage that resulted, Judge -- and we saw Ms. Ghiz-Flynn's body. And the defense talks about, Oh, those wounds weren't fatal. But they were horrific. They were life altering for everyone who saw them, even for the people at this trial who saw them, the jurors who had to see them. And the other aspect of the horror of this case that I want to highlight, Judge, is Mr. Flynn's testimony. And being in this courtroom today, which this is my first time to be in the courtroom -- this courtroom since that trial, I can relive it myself. I can picture myself at that table right there, and Mr. Flynn sitting there and you being there, and the jury being there, and the silence as Mr. Flynn talked about what happened, as he talked about those crucial horrific moments that we all Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 41 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 42 sat there in silence. And honestly, Judge, as the prosecutor I had to think about where to even go from there because the nature of this crime and the nature of the consequences were so lasting, were so profound. And just as Mr. Flynn now talks about, and he talked about at trial, that he is a different person now. So the first factor that we believe the Court should consider in fashioning this sentence is the nature of the crime, the nature of the destruction that was wrought, the ruining of these lives, and the destruction of Mollie's life. The second aspect of this case and aspect of this trial that we believe weighs in favor of having a, at minimum, top of the guideline sentence is the extent of Mr. McCabe's lies, and not just his lies, but his demeanor during the whole trial. Mr. McCabe was sitting there at trial as Mr. Flynn is testifying about the horrific death of his wife on this defendant's boat, and Mr. McCabe is sitting there on his phone. He is sitting there just sitting back. And then when he is testifying, he gets up again with his easel, drawing waves on a piece of paper, talking about the horrific butchering of this person like it's the most normal thing, like it's a random Tuesday. So our position is not just the fact that he lied about every aspect of this case, which I won't belabor because we have already talked about it, but also the way that he did it. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 42 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 43 The way that he carried himself throughout this entire trial showed an extreme lack of remorse, showed not just an extreme lack of remorse, but a misapprehension and an inability to understand the gravity of what happened here, the gravity of what was going on during that trial. That this is someone whose life was destroyed and whose family was destroyed. And Mr. McCabe during that trial, by lying the way he did, by conducting himself the way he did, showed that he had no respect for the law, no respect for these proceedings, and no respect for this horrific thing that happened. So that's the second reason that we submit that a, at minimum, top of the guideline sentence is appropriate. And then the third factor, which is the least important of these three, is the fact that on top of this horrific crime that you just heard victims speak about, that we spent the vast majority of the trial about, Mr. McCabe committed other crimes that aren't even factored into the guidelines here because they didn't score in a way, you know, under this labyrinthian system we have, to increase his range, his guidelines range. And that is all the fraud and all the lies that he perpetrated outside of this courtroom. That he is someone who lied about the purpose of this boat because, again, he wanted to do what he wanted to do, which is what led to this dangerous situation in the first place. And then on top of that, that after he killed Mollie, Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 43 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 44 he kept himself afloat by lying in order to secure COVID-era pandemic loans that are not a part of the guidelines calculation but that are absolutely just more crimes, more lies from this defendant who couldn't be bothered with what society needed during this pandemic, much less with what the people he was entrusted into their care needed as he conducted this scuba charter. So our position -- and, Judge, you sat here through this seven-day trial. You saw the trauma. You saw the horrors. And you saw the lies. And our position is that those factors, under the 3553(a) -- under 18 U.S.C. 3553(a) the nature of the circumstances of the offense, the need to promote respect for the law, the need to have a just sentence, the need to deter future criminal conduct, all of these things weigh in favor of a stiff sentence, one that is at least at the top of his advisory guidelines. And so that is what we submit to the Court as what is appropriate here. THE COURT: Okay. Thank you. Ms. Francis. MS. FRANCIS: Thank you, Your Honor. THE COURT: If you wish to come to the lectern, you may do so, or whatever you are more comfortable with. MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Judge. I can see better there. Thank you. Thank you, Your Honor. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 44 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 45 Several key considerations do support a sentence below the advisory guideline range or at least at the low end of a corrected range. This case at its core involves a tragic accident. There is no evidence of malice, intent, or willful disregard for human life. Mr. McCabe was engaged in a lawful activity that ended in an unforeseen and devastating consequence. His conduct does not reflect the type of calculated or predatory behavior that typically justifies a more severe custodial sentence. Mr. McCabe is a first-time offender. He will be 50 this year. No prior criminal history. He has spent his life as a hard working, law-abiding citizen. His career as a licensed boat captain required not just technical skill, but public trust and responsibility. This was his first incident. He has strong family and community ties. He has expressed sincere remorse for the loss of life that occurred. Judge, there is nothing in his background that suggests that he presents himself as a danger to the public or a risk of re-offending. Mr. McCabe did exercise his constitutional rights at trial, but, Judge, he did so respectfully and while -- without attempting to shift blame to the victim or to anyone else that was involved. THE COURT: I don't think that's correct. He may have Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 45 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 46 done so respectfully, but he lied repeatedly on the stand and he minimized his criminal conduct, and I think that's self-evident in the trial record, but please continue. MS. FRANCIS: Thank you, Judge. We did stipulate before trial that he would not pursue a defense that blamed the witnesses or the victim. He refrained from any type of inflammatory tactics and he demonstrated a consistent recognition of the tragedy involved, time after time again. He displayed that he understood the severity of the crime. His posture throughout has reflected moral accountability. And, Judge, that deserves weight. A guideline sentence that includes all the enhancements and everything, that wouldn't just [sic] result in a punishment greater than what is necessary to meet the purpose of sentencing. Mr. McCabe has already suffered significant professional and reputational consequences. A sentence at the low end of the range or even below will still adequately promote respect for the law. And -- THE COURT: And so the low end -- just remind me. You view the low end of the corrected range that you would have hoped for to be what? MS. FRANCIS: Yes, Judge. And I believe that was a range -- and I will get back to the Court with that -- of 51 to 63. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 46 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 47 THE COURT: Okay. Please continue. MS. FRANCIS: Thank you, Judge. And, Judge, as I was saying, a sentence at the low range, that would still adequately promote respect and justice of the law. It would afford just punishment and it would serve as a sufficient deterrence without inflicting unnecessary severity. Judge, Mr. McCabe is not in need of correctional treatment and nothing suggests that a prolonged term of imprisonment is necessary to protect the public. A shorter custodial sentence would facilitate his reintegration into society and allow him to resume his role as a constructive and contributing member of this community. So, Judge, for all those reasons, what we are asking the Court to do today is impose a sentence at the low end of the range and consider a downward variance, and that's just based on the mitigating factors presented. Thank you, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. Thank you. Mr. McCabe, you have a right to address the Court if you wish before I make a decision on sentencing. This is called allocution. You do not have to say anything, sir, but I do want to make sure you have the right to do so if you wish. MR. O'SULLIVAN: Judge, may we have one moment? THE COURT: Yes, you may. Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 47 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 48 (Discussion between counsel and defendant.) THE COURT: Mr. O'Sullivan. MR. O'SULLIVAN: Thank you. Mr. McCabe is not going to make any statements at this time. THE COURT: Okay. Thank you. All right. Anything further from the United States? MR. KELLER: No, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. Anything further from Ms. Francis or Mr. O'Sullivan? MS. FRANCIS: No, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. The Court has considered the statements of all parties, the presentence report which contains the advisory guidelines and the statutory factors set forth in Title 18, United States Code, Section 3553(a). I'm first going to find, Mr. McCabe, that you are not able to pay a fine on top of restitution, so no fine will be ordered, but I will be setting a restitution hearing to take place. Ms. Moran, can you identify a date for that hearing, please. COURTROOM DEPUTY: Yes, Judge. October 30th at 9:30 a.m. THE COURT: Okay. And so I will be setting a date for the determination of the victims' losses. That hearing is hereby set for October 30th at 9:30 a.m. And so no fine will Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 48 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 49 be ordered. Mr. McCabe, having considered all of these arguments, the full trial evidence -- of course, I oversaw the trial evidence and I'm fully familiar with it -- along with all of the arguments raised today, it is the judgment of the Court that an upward variance under my discretion is reasonable and warranted in this case based on the extreme severity of the offense conduct, which involved a very clear and willful disregard for human life, contrary to the suggestions of counsel. You were warned of issues on this vessel, and yet, for reasons that we will never know, decided to proceed forward and continue with your for-profit business the very next day, subjecting these crew members and also, of course, the passengers to extreme risk. They trusted you. You violated their trust. And Ms. Flynn lost her life as a result of your criminal negligence. I disagree that you have exhibited any lack of remorse; in fact, I think it's quite opposite. And all of this, of course, doesn't even address the underlying deception that is displayed in Counts 2, 3, 4, and 5. It seems that you have operated through this train of deception, even before taking those passengers out that day. Had you done things properly and designated your vessel appropriately under the rules, and then alerted the Coast Guard to the issues on the day before Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 49 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 50 the victim died, these horrific events very likely could have been avoided. But, again, you persisted with the lies and the deception, and here we are with the unfathomable loss of an innocent woman whose family is now dealing with the wreckage of her death. And so I think the seriousness of the offense in this case is extreme and warrants a very significant sentence. In addition to that, the obstructive conduct that you exhibited during your trial testimony is, I think, a further indication of your lack of remorse and your willingness to disregard human life by parroting a ridiculous story of windmilling that had no basis in fact. And so for all of those reasons, including the need to serve the important purpose of general deterrence for anybody else who may wish to lie on the navigable waters and subject people to extreme risk, it is the judgment of the Court that the defendant, Dustin Sean McCabe, is committed to the Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for 100 months. The term consists of 100 months as to each of Counts 1, 3, 4, and 5, and 60 months as to Count 2, all to be served concurrently. I find this sentence to be reasonable and not more than what is necessary to serve the statutory purposes. And I want to make clear that I would impose the same sentence of 100 months regardless of any issues with the calculation of the advisory guideline range. Again, that's applying the 3553(a) factors, based on the facts and circumstances of this Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 50 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 51 case. As noted, restitution will be ordered pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3663, although the amount of such restitution remains to be seen and determined. Once restitution is ordered, during the period of incarceration payments shall be made as follows: 1, if the defendant earns wages in a Federal Prison Industries job, then he must pay 50 percent of wages earned toward the financial obligations imposed by this judgment. 2, if the defendant does not work in a UNICOR job, then he must pay a minimum of $25 per quarter toward the financial obligations imposed in this order. Upon release from incarceration, the defendant shall pay restitution at the rate of 10 percent of monthly gross earnings until such time as the Court may alter that payment schedule in the interests of justice. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Probation Office, and U.S. Attorney's Office shall monitor the payment of restitution and report to the Court any material change in the defendant's ability to pay. These payments do not preclude the government from using any other anticipated or unexpected financial gains, assets or income of the defendant to satisfy the restitution obligations. Finally, restitution shall be made payable, once Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 51 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 52 determined, to the clerk and forwarded to the 400 North Miami Avenue address, ultimately then forwarded to the victim and her family. Upon release from imprisonment, the defendant shall be placed on supervised release for a term of three years. This term consists of three years as to each of Counts 1 through 5, all such terms to run concurrently. Within 72 hours of release from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons, the defendant shall report in person to the probation office in the district to which the defendant is released. While on supervision, the defendant shall comply with the mandatory and standard conditions of supervision, as referenced in Part F of the presentence report. And the defendant shall also comply with the following special conditions: Mental health treatment, financial disclosure requirement, no new debt restriction, permissible search, and unpaid restitution, fines or special assessments, as noted in Part F of the presentence report. It is further ordered that the defendant shall pay immediately to the United States a special assessment of $100 as to each of Counts 1 through 5, for a total of $500. The total sentence, therefore, is 100 months' imprisonment, restitution to be determined at a future hearing, three years of supervised release, and a $500 special Case 9:24-cr-80103-AMC Document 128 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/13/2025 Page 52 of 68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 53 assessment. Now that sentence has been imposed, does the defendant or his counsel object to the Court's finding of fact or to the manner in which sentence was pronounced? MR. O'SULLIVAN: We have no objection, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. Sir, you have the right to appeal the conviction and sentence imposed, but any notice of appeal must be filed within 14 days after entry of the judgment. If you are unable to pay the costs of an appeal, you may apply for leave to appeal in forma pauperis. Anything further from probation? THE PROBATION OFFICER: No, Your Honor. Thank you. THE COURT: Anything further from the United States? MR. KELLER: Nothing, Your Honor. Thank you. THE COURT: Anything further from the defense? MS. FRANCIS: No, Your Honor. THE COURT: All right. That concludes our hearing. To the victim's family, I know your beloved relative will never come back, but I hope this proceeding provides at least some closure to you and your family. Thank you. We are in recess.
