A trial has begun for Linda O'Leary, the wife of celebrity businessman Kevin O'Leary, who is charged in a boat crash that killed two people.
Linda O'Leary pleaded not guilty this morning to one charge of careless operation of a vessel under the Canada Shipping Act.
The charge relates to a collision that took place on Lake Joseph, north of Toronto, on the night of Aug. 24, 2019.
Gary Poltash, 64, from Florida died at the scene, while Suzana Brito, 48, from Uxbridge, Ont., died in hospital a few days later.
An agreed statement of facts read in court this morning says they died as a result of blunt force trauma, to either the head or the head and neck, from being struck by a boat.
The crash also left three people injured.
