The manslaughter plea was accepted on the basis that Watson, an experienced diver, failed in his duty as Tina's dive buddy by not giving her emergency oxygen.
He's a certified rescue diver..............they are stating he was convicted not because he murdered her, but because he failed to rescue her. What is the difference? That picture is haunting, her arms reaching up and out for help, he let her sink to the bottom....he knew what was happening to her.
