Lawrence Shieh: 5 things on Boston man indicted in boat crash that killed Elizabeth Dankert, injured 2 others

A man named Lawrence Shieh has been indicted for a boat crash that killed Elizabeth Dankert and injured two others in Boston. Suffolk County grand jury indicted Shieh who will be arraigned in the Suffolk Superior Court on Wednesday. Shieh's boat was found not equipped with lights meant for night navigation and the district attorney said Shieh was 'inattentive' at the helm, 'dancing and engaging with the three young women'.

The boat was reportedly moving at 36 mph, 'excessive speed for the area' at the time of the crash. Shieh was also found to be intoxicated and had 'unlawfully taken a boat out into Boston Harbor in the dead of night'. The other two women were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
