Absolutely!

I'll bet the boater's lawyer tries to spin it differently. I'll keep
my eyes on the local papers and post updates if his court appearance
gets any coverage. Unfortunately, the local papers probably won't
follow up on this case.

Here in Midland MI they publish the weekly court proceedings in the
local news paper. It's also available on the net. You have to sign up,
but it's free and they don't send you a lot of adds.
