Honeymoon Gone Wrong

A man from Alabama went on trial this Monday with murder charges against his newlywed bride. This case has been going on for eight years after he allegedly drowned her while they were diving on their honeymoon in Australia. Prosecutors say that Gabe Watson killed his new wife Tina Thomas Watson by turning off her air supply and restraining her until she passed out during their dive. Tina died just 11 days after getting married, her death was considered only an accident at first. Then Australian authorities took Gabe Watson in and sentenced him to 18 months in prison.  Prosecutors think Gabe Watson`s intentions were to collect on a modest life insurance policy. Watson has remarried and faces life without parole if found guilty.
