Description

A man, Brendan Faithfull, narrowly avoided jail time after a tragic boating accident that resulted in his fiancées death. Faithfull was driving the boat on the Hawkesbury River in Sydney, Australia, when it crashed, killing Samantha Jones. Witnesses reported Faithfull driving erratically and at high speed, and he was later found to be intoxicated. Despite attempting CPR on Jones, Faithfull was sentenced to a twenty-two-month intensive corrections order, banned from holding a boat license for five years, and ordered to complete two hundred and forty hours of community service. He must also continue his treatment for mental health issues and abstain from alcohol and drugs.
