Exonerated: Man Cleared in '90 Day Fiancé' Alum Drowning Attempt
29 Mar
Summary
- Cole Goldberg was found not guilty of attempted murder charges on March 12.
- The case stemmed from a 2022 Boca Bash incident involving '90 Day Fiancé' personality.
- Goldberg stated the situation was chaotic and misinterpreted by witnesses.
Cole Goldberg was acquitted on March 12 of all charges, including attempted second-degree murder, stemming from a 2022 incident at Boca Bash. The nearly four-year legal battle concluded with a bench trial verdict finding him not guilty.
Prosecutors alleged Goldberg attacked his then-girlfriend, Caroline Schwitzky, a talent agent for '90 Day Fiancé,' during an argument on a boat. Witnesses claimed Schwitzky jumped into the water and Goldberg followed, attempting to drown her before a bystander intervened.
Goldberg testified that the situation was chaotic and he entered the water to help Schwitzky, but began to panic. He stated any contact was brief and unintentional, aimed at keeping his head above water. Conflicting eyewitness testimony and the judge deeming evidence insufficient led to the acquittal.
This lengthy legal process significantly impacted Goldberg's career plans, delaying his law school aspirations. Now 27, he plans to pursue a legal career, feeling he can relate to future clients from his experience.
