State's Attorney Troy King (Alabama) was just on TV saying he will try to charge the man who killed his wife scuba diving in Australia here in Alabama and ask the death penalty or capital punishment.  He is asking the courts in Australia to give a longer sentence at least.



I hope they will extradite him back to the states......he needs the DP or to rot in jail

Thanks, Tibro,

Yes, he was a trained rescue diver so how he could just do nothing is beyond the pale.  Deliberate IMO.  At least he is not getting away totally but I am not sure if Alabama can bring charges for something that happened elsewhere.  There are some new Homeland Security laws with which I am not familiar but hope the State's Attorney can at least do something, anything, even if under one of these new provisions of the law.

I am shocked to see a Senior Editor take this venue to express a complaint.  I, for one, will not be buying that paper anymore.

I was too.....a simple request was all that was needed...threats are so juvenile and unnecessary.

Hi Anna,

Most people here are not pleased about the result either.  This is the latest item about it all (it seems there is almost a local media blackout on the story since this date) :


Coroner urges murder trial for dive husband Gabe Watson


Article from: The Courier-Mail....Peter Michael....June 09, 2009 12:00am

THE coroner who ruled that honeymoon dive death husband Gabe Watson probably killed his wife deliberately by turning off her air supply has stood by his call for the convicted killer to face a murder trial.

David Glasgow, in a four-week inquest, found there was enough evidence to put the American bubble-wrap salesman and trained rescue diver in the dock before a jury.

"I did my job," he said yesterday. "It was up to the Government and the DPP to decide whether to prosecute or not."

In a case that has attracted worldwide attention, Watson, 32, was formally charged with the murder of his wife of 11 days, Tina, who died while scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef in October 2003.

But in a stunning twist, Watson, from Alabama, last week pleaded guilty in the Brisbane Supreme Court to the lesser charge of manslaughter and was given a 4½-year sentence. The 32-year-old will walk free from jail in a year.

Queensland Attorney-General Cameron Dick is considering an appeal amid public outcry and outrage from the family who have condemned the sentence as an "injustice".

Feelings are also running high in the US, where the Alabama Attorney-General said he would attempt to have Watson charged with murder when he was released from prison.

Mr Glasgow, in handing down his inquest findings in June last year, ruled there was a reasonable chance a properly instructed jury might find Watson guilty of murder.

He formally charged Watson with murder and issued an arrest warrant in handing up the case to the Queensland Director of Public Prosecutions.

Mr Glasgow, now Family Responsibilities Commissioner, declined to comment further saying he had requested sentencing remarks but was "in the dark" about any plea bargain deal.

The DPP took six months to investigate the likelihood of murder charges before filing an extradition request to the US.

It was not until Watson voluntarily surrendered to Australian authorities four weeks ago that he found the DPP was prepared to accept a plea of manslaughter.

Watson's defence barrister, Steve Zillman, yesterday would not elaborate on any backflip by the DPP.

But it is understood the DPP was anxious about proving the murder case beyond reasonable doubt with no clear motive, only one key witness and poor underwater visibility.

Comments about this story are not allowed for legal reasons.

Worst of all would be a cruise to Aruba.  There, all you have to do is make the body disappear and voila!  No body, no case, no crime--Not even if you confess!  Twice, even.

We have given up 2 cruises that would have made a stop in Aruba...one was a FREE one and I refused to go. MY DH...that's husband, not Hubs said oh we will not disembark...we will make it a ship day...I said I didn't want to contribute one cent to that immoral island...he forgot about the port charges...when I reminded him he just gave up...smart man I married!!

One would expect that a Senior Editor could spell the word "scared" as well.  Guess standards have slipped a bit over the years.
