Judge Refuses To Hear Brazil Midair Crash Witnesses
The criminal trial of the American pilots of the Legacy jet that collided with a Boeing 737 over the Amazon in 2006 moved forward this month when the judge decided he has no need to hear seven defense witnesses. Mato Grosso federal court judge Fábio Henrique Rodrigues de Moraes Fiorenzage ruled that the witnesses' testimony was dispensable because they were either passengers on the Legacy who lacked technical knowledge or aviation specialists who did not witness the episode.

erm . . . ok, so the only witnesses allowed are aviation specialists with technical knowledge who were passengers on the Legacy?
That's F*D up. Coruption at it's finest!!! Are you kidding me?!?!?
Typical South American expertise
A sad day for aviation and safety.
the pilots on the Boeing did not the other aircraft was there because the transponder on the Legacy was OFF, now why was it OFF? maybe because they wanted to fly at any altitude they wanted like just playing around with a new TOY?
The pilots on the Boeing could not see that the other aircraft was there because the transponder on the Legacy was OFF, now why was it OFF? maybe because they wanted to fly at any altitude they wanted like just playing around with a new TOY?
What you mean Corruption at its finest? thats the right thing to do...what you going to achieve by allowing the passengers on the legacy to testiy? explain that to me. they have no qualifications other them being just a passenger on the plane. They probally dont know anything about ATC or transponders and how they work. What they gonna say.."we just heard a loud noise" give me a break. I blaime this on the pilots and Air traffic controlers. They all gonna get a piece of the pie, question is whos gonna get the most. thats my 2cents.
