that salty old dog Karen did earn a Grand Jury Indictment on two counts on Jan. 19 and was arraigned on Feb. 3, 2023 If convicted, she's looking at jail time up to 21 years and she's 68 now, might just kick it in jail Marian Beck indictmentMore likely a plea bargain with a fine and some probation. That might be the best answer anyway. If the craziness stops, then that’s a win in itself.

"The federal government convicts more than 92% of people who grand juries indict, with the vast majority pleading guilty to the charges."

But on greatly reduced charges...
If she truly intended to injure the plane or occupants she could and would have, for example.

Lots of room for a prosecutor to bargain down and still leave her in a bit of trouble. At the least, it will likely be very expensive.

Probably more expensive than her sister’s DUI defense.

UPDATE: By Paul Choate Published: Oct. 17, 2023 at 5:39 PM AKDT|Updated: 6 hours ago ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The woman indicted after a viral video showed a boat circling dangerously close to a floatplane in Halibut Cove has entered a plea agreement, according to court documents. Marian Beck was indicted on Jan. 19 on charges of attempted destruction of aircraft and gross negligent operation of a vessel in connection with the Aug. 23, 2022, incident. Per the terms of the agreement, Beck will plead guilty to gross negligent operation of a vessel, with the charge of attempted destruction of aircraft to be dismissed at sentencing. The agreement includes a 90-day maximum cap on time to serve, a fine of $25,000 and the relinquishing of Beck’s mariners license to the U.S. Coast Guard. Beck will also agree to pay full restitution to the victim after an evidentiary hearing. She will face one year of supervised release or up to five years on probation. The pilot of the plane involved in the incident, Alaska Ultimate Safaris owner Eric Lee, said he was trying to taxi out of the cove with seven passengers on board for a bear sightseeing tour when the boat sped around in circles close to the plane. According to court documents, Lee said he initially thought the boat operator was trying to communicate something to him, but the boat did not slow down and got so close to the aircraft he was concerned a collision might damage the plane’s floatation. After the incident, video of the encounter circulated widely on social media. It is unclear if a date has been set for the evidentiary hearing. https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2...etween-boat-floatplane-agrees-plea-deal/

put it this way she was wrong and should have been sentenced to more jail / prison time. we all know if it would have been a white male the sentence would have been more severe .

She took the plea, apparently she isn't all that convinced she was in the right and apparently she does not own the bay or the underlying ground.
Imagine that.

First, I do not like the lady and liked her father even less.
There is a covenant in place which went with the property purchased by the lodge which the airplane was violating and had been.
You would be surprised at the variety of land holdings on property owned prior to statehood.

No flying in and out before noon. I believe they own tide lands, too.

The covenant is either enforceable by law and should've been handled through legal means, or it isn't... there was certainly a way to gather evidence against the plane if it were doing something actually illegal. Either way it's no excuse for endangering a plane full of people. The jackasz is right to have her mmc taken away -- should be permanent.
Thanks for the update, BTW. I had lost track of this story.

I assume if the plane sightseeing operator broke some "covenants", he would be fined as well.
