Ron, have you been following the story about the South Carolina boater who shot the jet skier after he rescued him?
I have read the story. It is most convoluted. A claim of self-defense has been made and someone decided it will not go to trial, but that remains to be seen.
The jet skier was in the water and was rescued, along with a woman, by a man and woman on a pontoon. He then acted weird because he wanted to get back on his jet ski. He somehow ended back up in the water, and was then pulled back onto the rescuing pontoon where he was then shot dead by the pontoon owner who said he feared for his safety.
Details about the event are not clear.
