American jailed in wife's Australia vacation death

None

An American man has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in jail after pleading guilty in an Australian court to the manslaughter of his wife who drowned during a honeymoon scuba diving trip on the Great Barrier Reef.

 

Prosecutors sought a five-year prison sentence Friday for David Gabriel Watson of Birmingham, Alabama. His wife, Christina Mae Watson, drowned in 2003 as the couple dove off the tropical coast of Queensland state 11 days after their wedding. (AP)
