TORONTO — The wife of “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary was been found not guilty Tuesday of charges stemming from in a boat crash that killed two people in central Ontario two years ago.
Linda O’Leary was charged with careless operation of a vessel following the Aug. 24, 2019, collision on Lake Joseph, north of Toronto. Her husband was on board, as was a family friend.
Two people on the other boat — Gary Poltash, 64, of Florida, and Suzana Brito, 48, from Uxbridge, Ontario — died from their injuries. Three others were hurt.
The verdict was delivered in a hearing in Parry Sound, Ontario, that was also livestreamed.
Kevin O’Leary ran for the leadership of Canada’s Conservative party in 2017 but later dropped out.
