AceShowbiz - Cole Goldberg has been found not guilty of an attempted murder charge related to an incident involving former 90 Day Fiancé star Caroline Schwitzky. The verdict was delivered on March 12 in a West Palm Beach, Florida courtroom after a bench trial.
The case centered on an altercation that took place at the 2022 Boca Bash boating event. Schwitzky accused Goldberg of attempting to harm her during a heated confrontation in the water following the end of their relationship. Witnesses reportedly observed a struggle and heard cries for help before bystanders intervened to separate the two.
Goldberg consistently denied the allegations throughout the legal proceedings. He testified that he entered the water because he believed Schwitzky was at risk and claimed his actions were intended to protect her from danger posed by nearby boats.
Judge John Parnofiello ultimately ruled that the evidence presented was insufficient to convict. Conflicting witness testimonies created reasonable doubt about the exact events during the incident, leading to the acquittal.
Following the ruling, Goldberg expressed relief, stating, “I'm relieved this chapter is finally over. It has been hanging over my life for years.” Meanwhile, Schwitzky has not made any public comments regarding the verdict but is expected to address it in the near future.
