Defense witness: Blame the lack of lights

Coast Guard experts says that lack of lights caused the accident. The jury is out....

Expert claims Czuj drank 12-pack of beer

A then-17-year-old Hamburg Township male accused of killing a man in a 2005 drunken driving boating accident on Zukey Lake had consumed at least 10-12 beers prior to the accident, according to testimony by a toxicologist Tuesday. Grant William Czuj, now 19, is accused of operating the inboard speedboat on the Hamburg Township lake on July 23, 2005, that killed Michael John LaFave, 27, as the Brighton Township man sat on a pontoon boat tethered to a ski boat. Czuj also is accused of causing a crippling injury to Sarah Ribas of Howell.

Friend testifies that boat driver said "I'm guilty" after fatal accident

“I’m guilty,” Grant William Czuj reportedly said just moments after the boating accident on Zukey Lake in July 2005 that left one person dead and several injured.

That was the testimony that Brian Murphrey — a friend who was aboard the speedboat Czuj was allegedly driving that night — gave in Livingston County Circuit Court this morning as Czuj’s trial got underway. Czuj, 19, is accused of operating the boat that killed Michael John LaFave and seriously injured Sarah Ribas. They were aboard a pontoon boat Czuj’s craft allegedly hit. Prosecutors say Czuj was intoxicated at the time. For all the details, read Tuesday’s Daily Press & Argus.

Those two words "I'm guilty" will be given great weight. Admissions made right after an incident like this are very damaging when they come into evidence as this statement apparently did.
