Details Emerge in Case Against Daniel Watson in Alleged Scuba Murder

The details of the case against Daniel Watson, 31, of Birmingham, Alabama, in Australia are beginning to emerge. Watson is accused of killed his new wife Christina Mae Watson, 26, on their honeymoon while diving on a shipwreck.

According to Christina Mae Watson’s father, Tommy Thomas, Daniel Watson asked his wife to increase her insurance and name him as a beneficiary before their honeymoon. Now, prosecutors are alleging that Watson turned off her air supply once they dove into the water.

Daniel Watson is an experienced diver and she was a novice. They alleged that after she sank to the seabed, he then turned it back on. He insists that when she was panicking, he merely went to the surface for help. It is hardly the type of defense one would prefer for a jury since they may find it a bit off-putting that a husband simply let his wife to seek others to help. The picture snapped of the two divers above captures the chilling moment.

One would expect a civil lawsuit for wrongful death to follow.

  1. Does anyone know…Is this the Daniel watson serving in California penitentiary that makes self-taught artwork?

  2. whooliebacon,

    Were there any with the face of Jesus on their bodies? Sounds delightful. The SciFi channel should do a movie about that!
    They could call it, “Keith Olbermann, the Bloated Mind-Tick of the Right”!

  3. Jill,

    Having trained at Fort Bragg, NC, can tell you August, Pine Trees, Canvass pup-tents and warm bodies is a target rich environment for ticks.

  4. nipandtuck:

    Is the most damaging thing you can think of to attack Olbermann’s position his weight and looks? Are you in the 5th grade? Olbermann must be smiling if he’s reading your tripe. He has already won.

  5. whooliebacon,

    I like your song titles. The problem is I think they mean to say deer, not wood, tick. I put the URL to pictures of types of ticks below. I’m definitely going with deer! Much more naturalistic!!

  6. Jill,

    bloated wood tick in the wine-dark sea.

    Wood ticks keep fallin’ on my head…

    Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona…wood tick on my arm

    SpongeBob square tick…

    The end.

  7. A big full bloated woodtick! LOL! That is about right!

    I saw Keith Olbermann on Leno one night and he really does look like a big fat full of blood woodtick that just dropped off an old sick dog!

    No wonder he is not a family type guy. yechhch.

  9. I see the use of, “bloated wood tick” as similar to Homer’s use of “rosy-fingered down in the Odyssey.

  10. russ, your posts are so boring it’s painful. You’re apparently getting so pathetically desperate for attention you can’t even stay on topic. Unless you’re one of those GOP-paid bloggers sent to be a deliberate irritatant on left-leaning websites, you might want to rethink constantly embarrassing yourself with juvenile rants as they sway no one here and only serve to undermine and demean the conservative agenda.

  11. I don’t know about Keith being a woodtick. After all, as I have learned on this very blog, Keith is “living the dream.”

    So far as Mr. Watsom is concerned, I think he should have had the common decency to stay married to his wife for at least a few months –if not years. That way he could work up some real animosity…

  12. I see Woodtick Keith Olbermann has announced he is not interested in Tim Russert’s job; that must mean he knew he had no chance of being given it………..

    Woodtick Olbermann’s LIE-FEST has 400,000 dedicated two percenters that cheer him on while General Electric, the owner of NBC which is the owner of MSNBC, has its stock pummeled to the point it is at a 7 year low…

    Great Job MSNBC..
