Attorney for boater ID'd by authorities as the person involved in Ella Adler's death speaks

- The man authorities say killed a teenage girl with a boat in Biscayne Bay on Saturday insists he had no idea it happened until police showed up asking questions. That’s according to Carlos Alonso's attorney, Lauren Field Krasnoff.
That poor girl was put in the wrong place at the wrong time. Plenty of blame to go all around in this tragedy.
Why are they not talking about the boater towing her?
Come on now, we all know they don’t want to involve their friends and family members.
Recall at first report this was a "boater struck a water skier and didn't stop" incident. Now, it's being reported as a wakeboarder in the water with her host boat at some distance.
@@reensureWHATEVER way you look at it, it doesn't matter! All that is important here is that the BOAT THAT STRUCK HER DID---NOT---STOP!!! PERIOD.
@@LeafsAndCarshave you ever operated a large vessel? probably never seen or knew he clipped her. gotta have some logical thinking before spewing nonsense.
@@LeafsAndCars YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her friends are all super spoiled rich kids!!! They are getting preferential treatment
That was probably the most incoherent question I’ve ever heard from a reporter. I thought he might have been with a small online news organization. I spat out my coffee when he said NBC😅😅😅
“When the police arrived” so he didn’t turn himself in.
Looking at this man he doesn’t walk well and is hunched over. I wonder how his sight and hearing is.
I now can believe he didn’t know if he ran somebody over but more so because he’s 78 years old.
His lawyer said a little too much. She better be real sure she can back all of that up.
Why would he turn himself in if he didn't know that anything happened?
@@ronobrien7187Exactly. imo > I can see how all this was a tragic accident. His age plays a big factor . Just sad all around..
How do we know if is him or they just blaming the guy that passed by after they accidentally ran over their own friend?, happens a lot, just saying
Interesting point
Yes that happens more than you know! It happened here in Lake Granbury I believe it was two or three years ago. A horrible accident by the driver who ran over his own person here.
Cops are still investigating and you don't know how much evidence they have or don't have so the "how do we know" question is irrelevant at this point. That said, 95% of the time the first person cops name is the culprit. Many 78 year olds don't have the best vision and it was a huge boat with a huge bow to look over.
They don't have cameras????
Accident. Yes. If a car hits a pedestrian, that too is an accident. Sad for all related families. Lawsuit won't bring her back
2:01 That was NBC... slow on the comprehension bus?
seriously
The ? Was ridiculous. I literally spat out my coffee when he said he was with NBC. LOL
The Miami Herald wrote an extensive article on Mr. Alonzo's personal wealth.
What on earth does his personal wealth have to do with this tragic accident.
Agreed. My take- no statement should have been made, period. There are times when nothing needs to be said.
If that be the case, why is he not the one making the statements??
Even though I had nothing to do with a crime, I refused to talk to the cops and requested an attorney. It's not the cops' job to put the right person in jail; it's only their job to throw people in jail.
The amount of people that ran over or hit their own friends while water skiing is big, i just hope they dont put the blame on this man IF it wasnt him. Did she had her bright safety gear on?
I have heard of so many tragedies while people boating here in california most of time alcohol is part of it, and the driver really never knows if a person fell. but also i want to ask if the boaters pulling that girl raised their flags? its a sign that someone is in the water.
At this point is anyone sure this guy hit that girl? He looks really hunched over in the video. Thats a lot of boat for a guy that's having issues walking. The "water ski area" (not an official area) is north west of the Rickenbacker bridge. Next to the condos in Brickell. They may not been able to ski there because the water is shallow and the boat they were using was large. I don't see people using a boat that large to waterski so just that is unusual. I think there also needs to be some review of the operator of the boat the girl was on.
It was a bad decision on the captain to tow people behind the boat in that area. I always picked places with low boat traffic in biscayne bay to knee board etc. it is very possible in a high traffic area while operating a large boat to not see things or people in the water. This wasn’t a situation where there was a dive flag visible and the other operator was basically towing people in a high traffic channel. I blame that operator more than the guy that did the hit because of putting people in that situation to begin with. I hate to say it but it’s impossible to prove anything, even negligence, in this case and he should be givin his boat back and no charges filed or lawsuits proceeded. I know Micheal Adler and have done work for him. It’s a tragedy for his family but when you go out and have fun bad things can happen
Let's see a dangerous area, choppy seas, sun in his eyes, salt spray, and the list goes on. I've been boating on the waters off of Long Island since the 70's and when summer is upon us these things happen. But driving a car, boat or plane you have a responsibility. If proven he hit her there cannot be any excuse.
They have not "identified" anything. All they have to go on is a vague "description" of the boat. It may very well be this boat had nothing to do with the accident.
He should never make any statement. Nothing he can say will make a difference and may cause further anguish to the family. This attorney orobably should not have said anything either. This tragedy is inexpicable
That’s wild. Can you imagine what is going through his head?
It has to be not good.
“darned teenagers” ?
He can say he didn't know he hit anyone...obviously he was alone on the boat with no witnesses. He can say whatever is convenient for him.
"I wonder why there are more speed bumps than usual out here on the Keys today. Well, never mind."
That NBC reporter needs to find another job…😵💫
At this point I don't know if I believe the statement that he was on the boat alone. But understand he wasn't docking the boat at black point marina trying to trailer the boat. Parking the boat behind your house in a private dock is much easier, and if you have someone waiting for you like a spouse or kid or friend to take the line, it is not a complicated process. But I don't think he would have taken that boat out by himself in the first place, I believe he is trying to keep family or friends out of the situation. But time will tell.
You may not have those skills. I take my boat out and dock it every time by my self. That particular boat has a joystick that makes it even easier. Anyway why will he lie about who was there or not. He was the captain and if it was his boat he's the only one responsible
You're wrong.
The lawyer says" he is a good man and he does NOT DRINK"!! Why is that even RELEVENT if they are not sure HE was the one at the HELM that night? Like I said---- COVER-UP!!!!
EXACTLY!!
She's answering all the questions before they're asked. If she didn't offer that, all the reporters would be asking.
Some boating accidents have been caused by drunken sailors.
1) Terribly worded title. Journalists don't know how to write proper sentences anymore!
2) Mr. Bill doesn't watch the news?
Who are you ? Charles Dickens ?
I horrible thing can happen without having to have a totem for your anger. It could have been an accident. Report properly.
His gps will have created a plot of his trip.
How would the lawyer now he wasnt drinking? Was she with him physics friends net work. Give me a break.
Was an accident ….cmon people
What ever
Operating a large boat at age 78, alone, was probably a poor decision.
Age dont matter, 98% of accidents in the water are cause by young people, we see it every day.
I think that depends on on the boat size and horse power, after 20 feet long starts to get real technical,
Who is operating our country ? Or our Congress ?
@@michaelashley2855 good point like sleepy Joe 😂
Better than traitor don.@@charlemiami
" IF HE WAS"?? He was either driving HIS boat OR someone he KNOWS was driving his boat----- the only OTHER possibility is the boat was STOLEN( which it wasn't)!
WHOEVER was driving HAD to have known they HIT SOMEONE or something in the water that horrible night and should have had the DECENCY to stop and LOOK---- NOT JUST DRIVE OFF LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED!!
I smell a COVER-UP HERE!! IT'S INSULTING!!
I think the "lawyer" knows who was driving AND should convince them to come forward. They owe THAT MUCH to the young girls family!!
comprehension is tough, actually stated he was operating the vessel, just didn’t know who hit her or if he possibly did. terrible place to let a child wake board in an inlet, should be charging the person operating the vessel towing her. rough waters of the inlet and plenty of wake from other vessels coming in or out he probably never knew he clipped her. rather noisy operating in such conditions with all the wind off the ocean, water noise, multiple loud outboards etc.
@@13-3ddbi forget the engine for a second! Unless his boat is the size of the TITANIC then the vibration of the impact could NOT go unnoticed by the DRIVER!!
Y’all don’t have a clue how that boats rides and feels hitting waves trust me 18 or 78 he wouldn’t know he hit a person or anything at all. its not the same as a car
@LeafsAndCars You're a lunatic, take your meds.
@@brianabston275 so how DO they know if they hit somebody/ something? Enlighten US landlovers!!
Something funny here
“He has been boating for 50 years and is an experienced boater”, wouldn’t someone with all that experience be able to tell they hit someone
No
@@michaelashley2855nope. Idiot
Definitely NO
No
I knew it!!! He was Cuban!!! I knew he is MAGA. MAGA loves big fast boats. Family is going to sue him in court. That house is 4 million dollars and that boat is 600,000 dollars. The police are testing for damage and human blood on the propeller blades. I watch NCIS. 😂😂😂😂
Get a life
He was drinking then sped away
Please contact the police with your evidence
Shame on you you Chinese bot
With all do respect, I understand. And I find issues on both boat operators. One the Ski boat and 2nd the Operator of the boat that hit the young girl. But a 78 year old all alone, in a boat that's 42 feet, that you can barley look over the helm when driving from an enclosed cockpit. Just to run around deck side to try and anchor that boat is way to much for him. In a situation at 78 he can't properly handle that boat.
There are people half his age that could be incapable of operating a boat this 78 year old could be just as sharp as you.
Age has nothing to do with this terrible accident.
The old man did nothing wrong.
The ski boat captain is more at fault than anyone on this one. May not broke any laws but, should have never allowed anyone to ski in large body of choppy water that has ocean capable vessels going through.
From what reported, the ski boat wasn't a good boat to be used for skiing, said it was to large and took time returning to down skiers... idk. We would always stop as soon as skier fell and wouldn't ski in high traffic area's.
That boat practically drive itself
@@biglou9776 Boats don't drive themselves. Problem number 1. I have had many encounters dealing with idiots that are on auto pilot in the middle of biscayne bay. Its a disaster.
@@jcbell-dh1bm You are the only one besides myself that has said the same, not only the owner of the boat pulling the girl on skis is at total fault but her parents as well if she's still considered a minor. No matter how you want to look at it, you are liable for running skis in congested waters, plain and simple. Unfortunately the system is way too corrupted and most probably go against the 78 year old boat owner.
A very wealthy Cuban man!!! He did a lot of good things to get to wealthy status.
It's not hard to be wealthy at 78.
@@pastathemechanic7536 DOCTOR, he and his wife are doctors
and yes it is
What does this have to do with anything ?
I’m guessing his props are all tore up from slicing through that child’s body like a blender. You would have heard that and felt a shuddering of the boat, nor would it have operated normally afterwards. My guess is he’s just playing dumb because he knows he’s in a lot of trouble right now.
The girl and her friends were in a busy channel. If anything, the boater towing the skiers is going to be liable.
This could be quite possibly the outcome. This is a large heavy boat with multiple engines and I find it very plausible that he wouldn’t have known he ran over a person. Did the ski boat have a spotter (and were they doing their job) was the pilot looking aft at the skier or forward piloting away from others? Lots of questions we don’t have answers for.
Do you know if you sit or stand driving this boat?
@@user-kk3qg5el1m I’ve been on many boats and some ran aground and destroyed their props so before you get smart with me you should know how boat engines typically behave when struck with an object.
@@thetrainwreck1469how was me asking about how you drive a boat getting smart? Geez 🙄 I was asking because I was curious. Sorry I asked
I find it crazy that people are focusing on the fact that he shouldn’t or couldn’t have “felt it” due to the size/speed of the boat. How about focusing on the fact that the BOAT SHOULDN’T HAVE HIT A PERSON IN THE WATER! There is no law against water sports in that area!
Are you shhtupid?
Accidents happen it's a tragedy there isn't always a bad guy in every situation.
People run over manatees all the time and they don't even know it. Same thing happen here
There are no laws against stupidity in many situations
Why doesn’t he make a statement? Why does he have a lawyer making a statement? It was a hit-and-run and he was under the influence and that’s why he took off now his blood alcohol is normal and he’s going to get away with it and a young girl is dead. It should just be like cars if you flee the scene you get a DUI or DWI with a death
That's not how it works with cars either. They have to be able to prove you were operating the vehicle while intoxicated. It is entirely possible that a large boat/vehicle did not realize there was an accident. I was side swiped by the flat bed trailer of an 18-wheeler on the highway and they didn't even slow down. My insurance company said that it actually happens more than you would think because many times they don't realize they hit anyone. He's not making a statement because his lawyer advised him not to. She is smart enough to know that anything he says "can and will be used against him" in a court of law. It really doesn't matter what you or I or anyone unrelated to the case thinks he should do. A statement is not going to bring Ella back and wouldn't do anything but implicate him in something that may not even be his fault.
He has rights. Sounds like you do not know your own rights.
WHAT ????? She knows it was her clients boat.. WHAT is she trying to say other than her client is a victim of stolen boat ?? But he was driving HIS boat on the day in question… He’s not a victim here… Just tell the truth.. Oh wait, law enforcement might be lying 😲😲🤔
she's saying they don't know if it's his boat involved for sure and if it is, he wasn't aware he hit someone
WHAT ????
With all due respect I think he's a little bit too old to handle that big big boat I'm sure he was drinking
Age doesn’t determine what you can operate . He can be just as capable of operating that boat as you.
If you’re sure he was drinking call the police with the evidence
That looks like a cheesy Lawyer the guy guilty he was drinking and driving a boat
That’s what I was thinking - a cheesy lawyer - if he didn’t drink - he would have hired a looker
Keyboard loser
He had to know he Hit a Person ! 😮😊
He was Smoking Dank weed and huffing gasoline and was listening to Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb…. That POS !😂😂😂😂
You may be on to something - thanks for your comment
