摘要：	Ten months after a federal judge dis-missed federal charges against the oper-ators of a duck boat business for a 2018 sinking on Table Rock Lake in southern Missouri in which 17 people died (WJ, Sept. 13, 2020), a Missouri prosecutor has filed criminal charges of involuntary manslaughter against three men. Multiple federal criminal charges had been filed under maritime law, but U.S. Judge David Rush concluded on Sep-tember 3, 2020, that because Table Rock Lake is not a "navigable waterway" under federal admiralty law, his court did not have jurisdiction. The dismissal of the case left open the possibility of charges being filed in state court. That's what happened July 19 when Matt Selby, Stone County pros-ecutor, and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmidt announced the filing of 63 charges against three men - Kenneth Scott McKee, Charles Baltzell and Cur-tis Lanham - in relation to the sinking.
