The co-pilot of a Coast Guard helicopter that crashed off the Washington coast last year, killing three people, was "not actively navigating" and seemed to be sightseeing with the pilot, a crash investigator said Wednesday. Lt. Lance Leone, the sole survivor, is charged with negligent homicide and other violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice in connection with the July 2010 accident. The Article 32 hearing could help determine whether the charges are dropped or whether he will face court martial. The negligent homicide charges are related to the deaths of Brett Banks, 33, of Rock Springs, Wyo., and Adam C. Hoke, 40, of Great Falls, Mont. There is no charge related to the death of Krueger, 33, of Seymour, Conn.
