Lawyer for Tug Pilot in Philly Crash Fears Felony

PHILADELPHIA — A lawyer for the pilot of the tug boat pushing a barge that sank a duck boat in Philadelphia fears his client could face felony charges under federal law.
Lawyer Frank DeSimone said he hopes someday to have his client speak with investigators about the July 7 crash, despite his advice to date to remain silent.
DeSimone says his client feels terrible about the deaths of two Hungarian students aboard the tour boat.
