(KTTS News) — Three men will be back in court this week in the 2018 duck boat tragedy near Branson.
Captain Kenneth McKee and two supervisors, Curtis Lanham and Charles Batlzell, were originally charged in April.
But a Stone County judge dropped the charges saying there was no evidence they knew about the gust front that would approach the area.
He also also ruled the boat’s design led to its sinking.
Former Attorney General Eric Schmitt refiled the charges after the ruling.
Seventeen people died when the duck boat went down in a storm on Table Rock Lake.
