"Trial Begins for Conception Boat Captain in Fatal Fire that Killed 34"

The trial for Captain Jerry Boylan, the captain of the Conception dive boat involved in a deadly fire that killed 34 people off the coast of California in 2019, has begun. Boylan is facing a felony charge of misconduct or neglect of a ship officer. His defense attorneys have filed motions to prevent the victims from being referred to as "victims" during the trial and to stop the display of photos and videos of the victims. The defense argues that using the term "victims" could prejudice the jury and violate Boylan's right to a fair trial. The trial is expected to last about 10 days.
