Linda O'Leary, the wife of celebrity businessman Kevin O'Leary, has pleaded not guilty to one charge of careless operation of a vessel under the Canada Shipping Act. Adam made the case Thursday that given the pitch-black darkness of the night, Linda O'Leary should have been driving slower than the "planing" speed her husband testified they were travelling at. Court earlier heard testimony from a police officer who said Linda O'Leary registered an "alert range" level of blood alcohol on a breath test taken shortly after the crash. The officer said Linda O'Leary told her she had only had one drink after the crash. "This is about public safety, it is not about Linda O'Leary," Adam said.
