Kirsty MacColl - still no justice
Basically what happened was this: one of Mexico's biggest business owners, Guillermo Gonzalez Nova, ran over beloved English/ Irish singer Kirsty MacColl, in his speedboat, in 2000. Basically, he made sure his lacky took the fall, and the local authorities made a mockery of justice, despite eyewitnesses who say Gonzalez Nova was going 15 times the speed limit in the area that was reserved for scuba divers in Cozumel. The lacky was charged less than a hundred dollars for manslaughter.
The excellent BBC documentary, with interviews with Kirsty's ex Steve Lillywhite, their two sons, who witnessed her being chopped up by the boat motor, her boyfriend at the time of the accident, and friends, and Spider Stacy of the Pogues, as well as following her mother to Cozumel in her quest for justice.
