On Tuesday, jurors heard from multiple witnesses, including the victim’s father, Andy Fernandez, who described hugging his daughter for the last time before what he called a “beautiful afternoon” turned tragic.
Prosecutors allege Pino, a South Florida real estate developer, was operating a 29-foot boat when it struck a channel marker near Boca Chita Key during Labor Day weekend in 2022, killing 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez and seriously injuring two other teens.
