I thought he was plainly guilty but, the money doesn't add up, and if you believe Wikipedia...<br /><br />"Colin McKenzie, a key diving expert in the original investigation who had maintained that "a diver with Watson's training should have been able to bring Tina up", subsequently retracted much of his testimony after being provided with Tina and Gabe's diver logs, certificates and medical histories, to which he had not previously had access. <br /><br />McKenzie claimed Gabe Watson should not have been allowed in the water and never as a dive buddy for his wife, who had no open water scuba experience. Tina Watson had had heart surgery to correct an irregular heartbeat two years earlier but on her dive application had stated that she had never had heart problems or surgery. Professor Michael "Mike" Bennett, a leading expert in dive medicine, stated that Tina was unfit to dive without clearance from a cardiologist. Gabe Watson had received his rescue certification, normally a four-day course, after completing a two-day course in an Alabama quarry. He had no rescue experience and little open water experience.<br /><br />According to McKenzie, "He had no hope of being competent, he could barely save himself [that day] let alone his wife; I don't believe he intended to kill her." Revelations that Watson needed help to don his diving equipment that day underscored that he was a "dangerous amateur" who showed "a complete lack of courage" when he abandoned his wife. The dive company had offered an orientation and guided dive with a dive master, which both Tina and Gabe Watson had refused. Company head Mike Ball said his people took Watson at his word, believing he was an experienced and certified rescue diver. The company later pleaded guilty to contravening safety standards (their code of conduct said both Gabe and Tina must be supervised by at least a divemaster on the dive in question) and was fined $6500, plus costs of $1500."<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528377935446865958.post-60754076733969368422017-03-03T09:14:29.694-05:002017-03-03T09:14:29.694-05:00Gabe Watson is a liar -- he never loved his wife a...Gabe Watson is a liar -- he never loved his wife and he did indeed murder Tina Thomas, of that there is no doubt in my mind. The thing that puzzles me, however, is the investigative evidence proving that he's the one who's been desecrating her grave site -- why does he appear to hate her so much even after she's dead? Why so much blatant disrespect to both her and her family? Why refuse to turn over her old photos and mementos to her family as requested? This guy isn't just an assh*le, he's way beyond that.

I had heard about this case/guy long ago, but not the details. He clearly set her up for a murder. the life insurance policy? that was the huge kicker. He THOUGHT it was going to HIM? sure did. He made sure he questioned her before the ceremony? who does that? All his story changes? Not being by her side while they tried to revive her? Avoided contact/questions from get go? The GUY is guilty as sin! Digging her up? DISGUSTING. Revenge for not getting the money. taking the flowers and trashing them? REVENGE again. There may have just been a lack of evidence and it was clear that he planned it that way. He was very clever and one day? He will pay with his karma. As far as his new wife? Most likely safe as he is already a convicted murderer in Australia? another suspicious death would land him in prison for life. He knows this. But I feel sorry for his look alike 2nd wife. She has a psychopath in her bed. and it was MURDER; it just went awry and gave him an OUT when the insurance did not fall his way? who does that? keeps a ring 6 mos? plans a honeymoon she is not comfortable with? controls every move they make? total psycho. he will get his just reward one day. 18mos in prison? is but a mere slap on the wrist for this narcissist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528377935446865958.post-88005030123889697562016-01-04T21:13:33.993-05:002016-01-04T21:13:33.993-05:00Nonsense he did not commit murder, manslaughter ma...Nonsense he did not commit murder, manslaughter maybe but not murder watch 20/20 death down under to see my point don't get me wrong Gabe Watson is a jackass but being a jackass does not make one a murderer and I agree that the Alabama prosecutor really should have known better and not tried a case when they have no real evidence (he killed her for her ring what?)

I think he did it, & I think it's a sad miscarriage of justice that the case in Alabama was dismissed. <br /><br />Based on his actions preceding & following the death of his first wife, I'd say he's a narcissistic jerk who got away with murder. He has shown no sympathy toward Tina's family. He exhumed her body & had it moved from her family plot for crying out loud! He was her family for only a few days, but he broke her parent's heart's. He ripped their flowers from her grave! That's not the normal reaction of a grieving widow. Those are the actions of a man who is seeking revenge against the people that he feels are stirring up alot of bad publicity for someone trying to get away with murder.<br /><br />There is no way I would leave my spouse lying on the ocean floor. Wild horses couldn't have dragged me away. <br /><br />My heart goes out to Tina's family. <br /><br />I'm not in any way an expert of any kind. My opinion is merely that. An opinion.
