Lake George, the site of a fatal boat collision last summer.

On Monday, a Warren County, New York jury found Alexander West guilty of eight charges including manslaughter, boating while drunk and leaving the scene of a boat crash that killed an 8-year-old California girl last summer. Prosecutors said West was under the influence of drugs and alcohol when his boat hit the vessel carrying Charlotte McCue and her family on Lake George. The Daily Gazette’s Ned Campbell has been covering the trial over the past three weeks. He spoke with WAMC’s Ian Pickus.
