摘要：	A federal judge has dismissed charges of misconduct and neglect against three employees in a fatal duck boat accident on a Missouri lake not considered a navigable waterway. In early December, U.S. District Judge Douglas Harpool adopted a recommendation that the government did not have admiralty jurisdiction over Table Rock Lake where Stretch Duck 7 sank in 2018 killing 17 people - the deadliest duck boat accident ever. Capt. Kenneth Scott McKee, general manager Curtis Lanham and operations supervisor Charles Baltzell of Ride the Ducks Branson were charged in a 47-count indictment with misconduct, negligence and inattention to duty. The indictment alleged Lanham created a work atmosphere on the boats "where the concern for profit overshadowed the concern for safety." All three pleaded not guilty.
