Summary
Attorney Dexter Todd is fiercely defending the MV Barima crew, blaming MARAD—not the sailors—for the ship’s sinking, insisting only official maritime authorities can certify a vessel’s seaworthiness. Amid emotional courtroom testimony from Captain Kevin Price, who claimed the 87-year-old ship lacked critical safety gear and had expired life rafts, the tragedy’s human toll grows heavier: 73 lives lost, including children, with dozens still missing. As investigations continue, the nation grapples with questions of oversight, accountability, and whether this disaster could have been prevented.
