In Day 4 of George Pino's trial, the jury examined the boat involved in the deadly crash

Jurors in the George Pino fatal boat crash trial were out of the courtroom on Thursday to examine a key piece of evidence related to the incident.

They went to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation (FWC) yard in North Miami to inspect the massive fracture in the middle of Pino's 29-foot Robalo boat firsthand. 

Back in the Miami-Dade courtroom, Manuel Pomares, an FWC lieutenant, took the stand, testifying on the actual investigation of the crash. He also showed a piece of the boat to the jury, testifying what kind of damage it sustained after it hit the channel marker. 

"That contacted the day board. As that is getting crushed in it's leaving a mark due to the contact. and the vessel impacts the actual siding, crushing the side of it. The vessels tendency would also be to lean because of the impact of the marker at the same time," Pomares said. 

Pomares also testifiied that because the boat capsized and sat upside down in six feet of water off of Boca Chita Key, most of the investigation had to be conducted underwater alongside Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office divers. 

Investigators recovered multiple items from the ocean floor, including eight cellphones, sunglasses, Yeti-style tumblers, and several alcohol cans. All of those items were presented to the jury as evidence. 

Pomares also brought in one of the only pieces of the channel marker that they were able to retrieve that day on the scene, as the rest floated away in the water. 

This comes one day after jurors saw graphic video of the frantic aftermath of the deadly crash

This comes after the third day of the trial on Wednesday included testimony from a Miami-Dade marine patrol officer who was among the first responders to the 2022 Labor Day weekend boat crash.

Jurors were also shown graphic body camera footage from the retired officer that showed the chaotic aftermath of the Sept. 4, 2022 crash near Boca Chita Key in Biscayne Bay.

George Pino's wife, Cecilia Pino, also testified on Wednesday.

Thursday was the fourth day of the trial, and jurors headed to North Miami to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to see the boat involved in the crash in person for the first time.

Pino faces manslaughter and vessel homicide charges in connection with the crash near Boca Chita Key, one of the most closely watched criminal cases in Miami-Dade in recent years.
