Another witness, a homeless man, Antonio C. said that he saw Knox and Sollecito talking in a town square near the house that night at 11-11:30 pm, timed from a nearby clock, but in his original statement, he had said other people nearby were wearing masks, as on Halloween, the night before.
Computer records show that Sollecito's computer was being used at 9:10 pm and he lived at least 10 minutes from the town square.
A fingerprint expert claimed that one shoe print on the bed pillow was in Knox's size, but the pattern did not match any of her 22 shoes, and when the pillow was folded, that shoe print exactly matched Guede's Nike shoes.
A partial blood footprint on the nearby bath mat was claimed to match Sollecito's foot, but experts testified that it was so vague that it also matched Guede's foot.
No hairs, clothing fibers, skin or fingerprints of Knox or Sollecito were found in Kercher's room.
No blood-stained clothes, shoes, or knives were found in either of their houses, or in Sollecito's car.
A knife taken from Sollecito's kitchen, with Knox's DNA on the handle, was claimed to match a trace amount of Kercher's DNA near the tip, but the knife was too large to have made two of the three stab wounds, and tested negative for any blood residue anywhere.
Appeals
Guede appealed against his sentence, and it was changed from 30 to 16 years in prison.
He still says that he did not kill Kercher.
His second appeal trial ended in December 2010 with upholding the verdict of guilty.
Knox and Sollecito filed the proper legal documents to appeal their convictions, and they were still considered "presumed innocent" as if the previous trial verdicts were suspended.
Their appeal trial began in November 2010, with a new judge who ruled to re-examine DNA evidence against them.
The judge also granted a re-questioning of witness Antonio C. about which days he saw what.
Italy's supreme court ordered a re-trial.
The case was heard in Florence, and ended on 30 January 2014.
Both Knox and Sollecito were found not-guilty of murder.
They were originally sentenced to 28 (Knox) and 26 (Sollecito) years in prison.

Lulu is an opera by the composer Alban Berg.
Berg took the story from two plays called Erdgeist and Die Büchse des Pandora by the German playwright Frank Wedekind.
Berg wrote the libretto (the words for the opera) himself.
Many people found Lulu very shocking because the story is very decadent.
There is a lot of blood, murder, sex and violence in it.
Also: Berg’s music was quite difficult to understand.
He uses twelve tone music, which is not in any particular key,  although he uses it to make a style of music which is often very Romantic and expressive.
Berg started to write the opera in 1929, but then he stopped working on it to write his Violin Concerto.
When Berg died, he had not finished the last act of the opera, he had only sketched it.
Schoenberg was asked whether he would finish the opera, but he thought it would be too much work.
When the opera was first performed in 1937 there were only two acts: the opera was unfinished.
Berg’s widow, Helene, said that nobody was allowed to finish it and that it should stay unfinished.
For more than 40 years, that is how the opera was performed.
When Helene died in 1976, a man called Friedrich Cerha finished the opera, guessing what Berg might have written.
This completed version was performed in 1979 at the Opera Garnier, conducted by Pierre Boulez.
Prologue: A circus ringmaster introduces all his animals.
The last one is Lulu herself, who is carried on stage and introduced as a snake.
Scene 1: Lulu, the wife of Dr. Goll, an old doctor, is having her portrait painted.
Dr. Schön, a newspaper editor who rescued Lulu when she was living in the streets, is now having a love affair with her.
Dr. Schön’s son Alwa arrives, excuses himself, and he and Dr. Schön leave.
The Painter wants to make love to Lulu.
Dr. Goll unexpectedly walks in, sees that the two of them are alone, collapses and dies of a heart attack.
Scene 2: Lulu has now married the Painter.
She gets a telegram which says that Dr. Schön is engaged to be married.
Schigolch, a tramp, visits her.
He seems to have had something to do with her in the past.
Dr. Schön arrives.
He talks as if  Schigolch is Lulu's father.
He has come to ask Lulu to stay out of his life from now on.
She takes no notice and leaves after her husband, the Painter, arrives.
Dr. Schön tells the Painter about their affair, and says he must talk to his wife about it.
The Painter leaves, but instead of going to talk to Lulu he cuts his own throat and dies.
Lulu does not seem to care and simply tells Dr. Schön "You'll marry me all the same."
Scene 3: Lulu, working as a dancer, is sitting in her dressing room with Alwa.
They talk about a Prince who is in love with Lulu and who wants to marry her.
Lulu leaves to go on stage, but refuses to go on because Dr. Schön and his fiancée are in the audience.
Dr. Schön comes in to try to persuade her to perform.
When the two are left alone, she tells Schön that she is thinking of leaving with the Prince to go to Africa.
Dr. Schön realises that he cannot live without her, and Lulu makes him write a letter to his fiancée saying that he does not want to marry her.
Lulu carries on with the show.
Scene 1: Lulu has now married Dr. Schön, who is full of jealousy because so many men and one woman seem to love Lulu.
One of them, the lesbian Countess Geschwitz, visits her to invite her to a ball, but leaves when Dr. Schön disapproves.
When the two go out, the Countess returns and hides.
Two other admirers, the Acrobat and the Schoolboy, also enter, and all begin to talk to Lulu when she returns.
Alwa arrives, and the admirers hide as Alwa tells Lulu he loves her.
Dr. Schön returns, sees the Acrobat, and begins a long argument with Lulu.
Gradually he finds the other people who are hiding.
He gives Lulu a revolver, and tells her to kill herself, but she shoots Schön instead.
The police arrive to arrest Lulu for the murder.
Interlude: during the music of the interlude a silent movie is shown.
In it, we see Lulu being taken by the police, tried in court, and put into prison.
Then we see her deliberately getting the illness cholera and being taken to hospital.
The Countess Geschwitz visits her, and gives her own clothes, so that Lulu can escape disguised as the Countess.
Scene 2: The Countess Geschwitz, Alwa and the Acrobat are in the same room as Act II, Scene 1.
They are waiting for Schigolch, who is to take the Countess to the hospital.
She is going to give up her own freedom by taking Lulu's place so that nobody will discover she has escaped until it is too late.
The Acrobat says he is going to marry Lulu and move with her to Paris where the two will work in an act together.
Schigolch leaves with the countess, then returns with Lulu, who is so ill from her disease that the Acrobat does not follow his plan, but goes off to get the police instead.
Schigolch is sent off to buy train tickets, and, left alone, Alwa and Lulu say they love each other and agree to go away together.
Scene 1: Lulu and Alwa are now living in Paris.
The scene is a party in a casino.
Lulu is being forced by blackmail to work in a Cairo brothel by the Acrobat and a pimp.
The police still want her for Dr. Schön's murder and the Acrobat and the pimp say to her that they will take her to the police if she does not do as they say.
Schigolch arrives, asking for money.
She is persuaded to lure the Acrobat away to a hotel and murder him.
After they have gone, news arrives that the railway company has run out of money.
The guests have all got money in the company.
The party quickly breaks up, and in the confusion, Lulu manages to change clothes with a young man.
She escapes with Alwa just before the police arrive to catch her.
Scene 2: Lulu and Alwa are now living with Schigolch.
They are poor are in London so that the police cannot find them.
Lulu is working as a prostitute.
She arrives with a client, a professor (played by the same actor as Dr. Goll, Lulu's first husband).
The Countess Geschwitz then arrives with a portrait of Lulu which she has brought from Paris.
Alwa hangs it on the wall.
Lulu goes out, and returns with another client, the Negro (played by the same actor as the Painter, Lulu's second husband).
He refuses to pay before making love, and kills Alwa in a struggle.
Schigolch takes the body away while Geschwitz thinks about killing herself, but then gives up the idea when she realises that Lulu does not care.
Eventually, Lulu goes out and comes back with a third client (played by the same actor as Dr. Schön, Lulu's third husband).
He argues over the price, and is about to leave when Lulu decides she will sleep with him for less than her usual fee.
This client, who is actually Jack the Ripper, murders Lulu, and then on his way out kills the Countess as well, who swears her love to Lulu as the curtain comes down.
The shape of the whole opera is often said to be like a mirror – Lulu's popularity in the first act is mirrored by the poverty she lives in during Act III.
Also, Lulu's husbands in Act I are played by the same singers as her clients in Act III.
In the middle of the opera is the movie.
Even some of the music is a palindrome (it reads the same forwards as backwards).
This can be seen at the very middle of the Act II movie Interlude, when a piano plays a rising pattern of notes, which then reverses direction and falls.
Some of the characters have their own music which, in each case, is a theme made of twelve notes.
This is the twelve-tone system which was invented by Berg’s teacher Arnold Schoenberg.
By giving each character a theme, he is using the idea of a leitmotif, which was used a lot by Wagner.
This can be heard in Scene I of Act II, when Lulu sings a dramatic solo telling Dr. Schön she has never pretended to be anything other than what she is.
The first twelve syllables (If men have killed themselves for my sake...) that she sings are set to her leitmotif.

Salisbury is a city in Wiltshire, South West England.
It is the only city in Wiltshire and is its second largest settlement.
It sits at the joining of five rivers: the Nadder, Ebble, Wylye, and Bourne, which are tributaries to the Hampshire Avon, which flows to the south coast and into the sea at Christchurch in Dorset.
To the north of Salisbury is an old settlement surrounded by mounds and ditches for protection.
It is called Old Sarum.
Today there are only a few ruined stone foundations.
This was the original town that was first occupied about 5,000 years ago.
Experts think it was built there because it was close to the River Avon for water and it was near major trackways across the country.
Salisbury has 45,000 people.
Salisbury is about 15 kilometers (9.5 miles) from Stonehenge.

A coelacanth is a type of fish in the Sarcopterygii, the lobe-finned fishes.
They are a sister group to those fish which evolved into tetrapods.
Their fossil record goes back 400 million years, before any land vertebrates had evolved.
There are at least two species of coelacanths living in the Indian Ocean.
Scientists thought they had been extinct for 80 million years until one was caught off the east African coast in 1938.
However, fisherman in the Comoros islands had been catching it for a very long time and called it gombesa.
The coelacanths are the closest link between fish and the first amphibians which made the transition from sea to land in the Devonian period (408–362 million years ago).
Whereas the fishapods lived near the shore in muddy water, the coelacanths lived in open water.
The modern species are predators that live in the deep ocean.
Latimeria
Latimeria is the only living genus of the otherwise fossil coelacanth fish.
It is probably the best-known Lazarus taxon.
That such a creature could have been unrecorded for so long is rare, but perhaps the cold depths of the West Indian ocean (in which the Coelacanth lives), and the few predators it has, may have helped the species survive.
Its disgusting taste means that fishermen did not deliberately try to catch it, that is, before scientists started offering rewards.
The population living off Tanzania is threatened by Japanese trawlers, but the fish is not edible.
They are simply caught in trawls by accident.
More than 20 have died this way, and their total numbers cannot be large.
Scientific study
Latimeria was first found by scientists in 1938 by Marjorie Courtenay Latimer, the curator of a small museum in the South African port town of East London.
She was visiting a fisherman who would let her search through his boat's catch for interesting specimens.
Another one was found off the Comoros islands in 1952.
The largest specimen was about 1.8 metres (~6 ft).
A tent city is used to describe a variety of temporary housing facilities made using tents.
Informal tent cities may be set up without authorization by homeless people or protesters.
As well, state governments or military organizations set up tent cities to house refugees, evacuees, or soldiers.
Tent cities set up by homeless people may be similar to shanty towns, which are informal settlements in which the buildings are made from of scrap building materials.
Environmental disasters and homeless people
Since Hurricane Katrina made landfall in August of 2005, the term has been used to describe temporary housing sites set up for Gulf Coast residents who were left homeless by the storm.
Some of the tents that were built by Seabees and funded by FEMA are wooden structures covered by tents.
With the exception of indoor plumbing, most of the tents have heat, air, and lights.
The tent city can hold as many as 250 occupants.
In late December 2006, the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Saint Petersburg, Florida established an encampment on their property when dozens of homeless moved off of public land across the street from the society.
In early January 2007, city officials noted city codes that prohibit living in tents and gave the society one week to evict the occupants of the tent city.
For travelers on The Hajj to Mecca
Every year, the Saudi Arabian government's Ministry of Hajj sets up a tent city to support Muslim pilgrims in the village of Mina, where the ritual Stoning of the Devil takes place as part of the overall Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.
A tent city is also established annually at Mount Arafat, another essential stop during the Hajj .
Because up to four million pilgrims may be performing the Hajj annually, the tent cities are densely inhabited with 20-40 people per tent.
As such, fire and disease outbreaks are constant concerns.
Since the late 1990s, Saudi authorities have started using fireproof tents to reduce the risks of a major fire.
Military uses
In the military, the term "tent city" usually refers to temporary living quarters erected on deployed military bases, such as those found in Bosnia or Iraq.
Depending on the branch of service and the length the tent city has been in place, the living space may have most modern amenities.
For sanitary reasons, military tent cities place toilet, shower, and laundry facilities at least 50 feet (15m) from living quarters.
Also, tents are typically divided into clusters of 8-10 to prevent the rapid spread of fire, which is of utmost concern because of the tent and bedding materials.
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) (Norwegian: Flyktninghjelpen) is an independent, non-governmental organisation in Norway which helps refugees and internally displaced persons around the world.
The NRC protects the rights of people who have been forced to leave their countries, or their homes within their countries.
It is the only Norwegian group that specialises in international efforts for these types of people.
The NRC was established in 1946 with the name "Aid to Europe", to help refugees in Europe after World War II.
Today, the NRC is an independent, private organisation.
It works closely with the United Nations and other organisations around the world, as well as in Norway.

It also may be a replacement of a name or a word, that could reveal a secret or holy and sacred names to the uninitiated.
It may also be used to obscure the identity of the subject of a conversation from potential eavesdroppers.
A well known example for many is the replacement of Lord Voldemort's name by "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" in Harry Potter.
Some euphemisms are intended to be humorous.
When a phrase is used as a euphemism, it often becomes a metaphor whose literal meaning is dropped.
Euphemisms may be used to hide unpleasant or disturbing ideas, even when the literal term for them is not necessarily offensive.
This type of euphemism is used in politics.
Common examples
restroom for toilet (the word toilet was itself originally a euphemism).
This is an Americanism.
making love to, doing it, or sleeping with for having sex
mature or  golden years for old age or elderly
police action for undeclared war
in the club for pregnant
tired and emotional for drunk (mostly British)

Boscobel House is a house on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border, near Wolverhamptonand Albrighton, England.
It was built around 1632 when landowner John Gifford of White Ladies Priory turned a farmhouse into a hunting lodge.
Charles II famously hid in a tree at the Boscobel House to escape discovery by Parliamentary soldiers after the Battle of Worcester in 1651.
The tree became known as the Royal Oak
42 days after the Battle of Worcester, Charles escaped to France on a coal ship called Surprise.
Nine years later, Charles ll was invited back to England to become king.
In 1660, he came back to England to be the king and Charles named that day "Oak apple day".

It has a university and a harbor.
Dysphemism means using of an harsh or rude word or phrase instead of a polite one.
It is more or less the opposite of euphemism.
In Christianity, worship has been thought as by most Christians to be the central act of Christian identity throughout history.
Many Christian theologians have called humanity homo adorans, which means "worshipping man," and so the worship of God is at the very centre of what it means to be human.
Throughout most centuries of Church history, Christian worship has been primarily liturgical, symbolised by prayers and hymns, whose texts were closely related to, the Scripture.
Set times for prayer during the day were made (based mostly on Jewish models), and a festal cycle throughout the Church year pointed out the celebration of feasts and holy days relating to the events in the life of Jesus, the lives of the saints, and features of the Church's view of God.
A large amount of importance was placed on the forms of worship, as they were seen in terms of the Latin phrase lex orandi, lex credendi ("the rule of prayer is the rule of belief") — that is, the details of someone's worship show, teach, and govern the principle beliefs of the community.
To change the patterns and content of worship were to change the faith itself.
So even though there was always a certain amount of variety in the early Church's liturgical worship, there was also a great deal of unity.
Each time a heresy appeared in the Church, it normally came by a shift in worship for the heretical group.
Orthodoxy in faith also meant orthodoxy in worship, and vice versa.
Early Church Fathers
The very early development of Christian worship is lost in history, but Christian worship is, normally, fixed in the worship of Judaism.
The Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles present the very early Christians as visiting both the Temple and synagogues, as well as worshipping in private homes, frequently to "break bread," a term which signifies both the sharing of a meal and, when used in that context, celebrating the Eucharist.
Acts 2:42 shows the very early Church of Jerusalem as "continuing in the Apostles' teaching and fellowship [or communion], the breaking of bread, and the prayers."
Contemporary worship
In general, worship for the Eastern churches and for the Catholic and Anglican churches in the West is centered in regular celebration of the Lord's Supper, celebrated by a priest with more or less participation from the whole body of believers that are there.
This tradition, variously known as the Mass, Divine Liturgy, Eucharist or Communion, continues in the Anglican church and among some Protestants.
A worship service in these traditions is centered on the sharing of bread (or bread and wine) although it also includes prayer, the reading of Scripture, and usually singing and some form of teaching or sermon.
In many Protestant traditions, however, Communion is celebrated rarely or not at all, and corporate worship is centered on a formal sermon, which may resemble a lecture.
Worship in such a context also generally is described by spoken prayer, Scripture, and music, mainly hymns.

Holidays and seasons
The most popular religious holidays in the Christian calendar are Christmas, which is after the Advent season, and Easter, which is after Lent and Holy Week.
While Christmas is very popular, especially in Western countries, Easter is liturgically by far the most important celebration.
For the Wikipedia guideline on prose, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
Prose is the ordinary form of the written (or spoken) language.
It is not poetry.
It does not use any special format such as lists or tables.
In writing, it is without special rhythm.
It is similar to everyday communication.
That is what makes the most important distinction with poetry, and with theatrical works such as plays.
The word prose comes from the Latin prosa, meaning straightforward, hence the term "prosaic".
Prose writing is usually adopted for the description of facts or the discussion of whatever one's thoughts are, incorporated in free flowing speech.
It may be used for newspapers, novels, magazines, encyclopedias, broadcast media, letters, stories, history, philosophy, biography, and many other forms of media.
Prose generally has no formal structure, like meter or rhyme, that is often found in poetry.
Therefore, it is used to describe literature which is non-poetic, and non-theatrical.
There is, however, a blend of the two forms of literature known as prose poetry.
The caper story is a special sort of  crime story.
In the typical caper story,  one or more crimes happen (especially thefts, swindles, or occasionally kidnappings) in full view of the reader.
The actions of the police or detectives may also be told, but  are not that important for the story.
Examples of the caper story
The Dortmunder stories of Donald E. Westlake are very funny tales where unusual thefts happen; in another story, Dortmunder's gang steals the same gem several times, steals an entire branch bank, and kidnaps someone from an asylum by driving a stolen train onto the property.

Christina Mae "Tina" Thomas Watson (13 February 1977 – 22 October 2003), was a 26-year-old American from Helena, Alabama.
She died on her honeymoon on the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia in 2003.
She had only been married to her husband, David Gabriel "Gabe" Watson, for 11 days when she died.
The doctor who performed the autopsy said she drowned in a scuba diving accident.
Six years later, Gabe Watson was charged for murder and manslaughter.
He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sent to prison for a year by an Australian court.
Six months were added to the prison sentence after an appeal that took place just six weeks later.
The appeal was held as soon after the trial as possible because of concerns raised by Tina's father with the trial itself.
However, the appeal judges had agreed with the trial judge on most of the issues except the six month increase in the prison sentence.
Tina was a Southern Baptist and a graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
She worked as a departmental manager at the small Southern department store chain, Parisian.
She was buried at the Southern Heritage Cemetery, in Pelham, Alabama, USA.
While scuba diving at the site of the SS Yongala, a passenger ship that sank in 1911 in the main southern shipping channel to the Australian port of Townsville, Tina Watson either lost consciousness or died and then sank  to the sea floor below.
Tina's death of accidental drowning was not a criminal investigation in itself in Australia.
It was a coronial enquiry.
Mr Watson gave evidence to the Coronial Inquiry through his lawyers.
He returned to Australia voluntarily and spoke to investigators on a number of occasions.
Some of these interviews are available on the Internet.
At trial, prosecutors said that Mr Watson had made a mistake in not trying to rescue his wife.
They said that mistake was the same as manslaughter (see: Court of Appeal Judgement).
Tina's father  that, immediately before their wedding, Gabe had asked Tina to increase her life insurance policy to the maximum possible and make him the sole beneficiary.
After hearing that flowers and gifts left for Tina at her grave were being destroyed or were disappearing, even when held down by a chain, Sergeant Flynn investigated it.
On a hidden videotape, he saw Gabe Watson taking them away with bolt cutters and then throwing them in the trash angrily.
Gabe then married Kim Lewis on August 15, 2008.
Gabe Watson was tried for the murder of his wife, Christina, in the Queensland Supreme Court at Brisbane on 5 June 2009.
He said he was "not guilty" of murdering his wife.
To the charge of manslaughter, accidental killing, he said he was guilty.
The trial judge said the murder charges made against him were not true and sentenced him to one year in prison, with a further three and a half years suspended.
This sentence resulted into Tina's father calling the Australian justice system a "sham".
He also said one of Australia's most senior government lawyers, Mr Tony Moynihan, had been misleading the public.
The reason Gabe received the one year in prison, was explained by the judge.
He said that Gabe had been accused of things of which he had not been guilty, had suffered considerably since Tina's death, and had co-operated with the Court.
He said the media reporting had been unfair.
The judge said Gabe had come back to Australia of his own free will in May of 2009 and given himself up.
The judge said Gabe loved his wife, deeply regretted her death and felt guilty because he had been unable to save her.
He said that Gabe had not caused the accident, but had failed to save Tina when she ran into difficulty with her breathing while underwater.
The appeal
Three judges heard an appeal started by the State of Queensland on 17 July, 2009.
The state wanted Gabe to serve two and a half years in prison.
Gabe's Australian lawyers said the extra time was unfair because of the history of the case.
The judges published their decision on 18 September, 2009.
To understand the outcome of the appeal, it is necessary to understand a little of the legal process and thinking that lawyers put into an appeal.
On one side we have the State of Queensland, Australia.
In Australia, as in England and countries such as Canada and New Zealand, the State is usually called the "Crown" in court proceedings.
In the US, the State is usually referred to as "The People" or simply the "State".
The appeal was heard before three judges of the Queensland Court of Appeal, which is the State's highest court.
The outcome of the appeal
The Crown had said that Gabe's sentence should be increased because it believed the sentence was wrong.
Gabe's lawyers replied this was not the case.
They said that Gabe had never done anything wrong in the past and he was a good person.
The death of Tina resulted from an error or mistake, and the short prison sentence was a fair in his lawyers' opinions.
The Court of Appeal judges also said that the murder claim was not true.
The judges were in agreement about most of the trial.
However they did not agree about the prison sentence.
On one hand, Justice Muir said the appeal court should not change the decision of the trial judge.
On the other, Chief Justice De Jersey said prison time should be increased to two and a half years.
In the third opinion, Justice Chesterman said it ought to be increased from twelve months to eighteen months.
To reach agreement, the Chief Justice went with Chesterman's opinion.
With the agreement of two of the three judges, the sentence was increased to eighteen months.
Each judge carefully explained their view.
Finally, Chesterman said of Gabe Watson, "That the respondent himself promptly provided the information which proved the case against him and that for years he has borne the unjust charge, made very public, of murder are factors requiring substantial amelioration in sentence." (
Gabe Watson gave the information which showed he had killed his wife accidentally.
Because he was for many years unfairly blamed and unfairly accused for her murder, he should have his prison sentence shortened.)
Media attention
For four years, no one took much notice of the death, as there is a drowning in the Australian state of Queensland about once a week.
Tina's parents however, set out to get the attention of the media and by 2007 had succeeded.
Other people had been diving near Gabe and Tina when Tina died.
One diver had photographed Tina, lying on the ocean floor, while taking a picture of another diver on holiday.
This picture was not known until a couple of weeks later when the pictures were developed.
Investigators were uncertain if Tina was already dead in the picture or if she was unconscious.
The picture gives no clues as to what made Tina sink to the bottom.
After being informed by Tina Watson's family that flowers and gifts were repeatedly being vandalized or disappearing from the grave site, even when chained down, Sergeant Flinn investigated.
On hidden surveillance videos, he saw Gabe Watson removing them with bolt cutters and putting them into the trash, which Flinn then showed to media.
Tina Watson's father told the media in November 2009, two months after the appeal decision, that he thinks Gabe is a copycat killer.
He might have got the idea for the murder by a copying the way another, almost successful, murder was done in the British Virgin Islands.
The death of Tina Watson was shown in a 90-minute account that was shown on Dateline NBC on Monday, May 19, 2008.
Watson's death caused media attention in both Australian and American media and also from media around the world because of the unusual case.
However, media in particular from the Australian state of Queensland, have continually described Tina's death as "murder" while Queensland Courts have found it to be manslaughter by way of a failure to rescue.
This issue finally came to a head with the Townsville Bulletin on 10 February 2010.
They again described Tina's death as "murder".
Seven days later they published an apology and correction which says:
"On February 10, 2010 an article was published concerning ‘murdered US bride Tina Watson’.
The Townsville Bulletin accepts that Gabe Watson has not been convicted of murdering Tina Watson.
Tina died while scuba diving at the Yongala wreck on October 23, 2003.
Gabe Watson pleaded guilty to manslaughter by reason of his failure to take Tina Watson to the surface when it was apparent she was in distress, and by this inaction this constituted criminal neglect."
On July 17, 2010 a leading Australian daily newspaper, The Age, published a complete review of the Watson case "Death on Reef Mystery".
The author was award-winning investigative journalist Peter Patrick.
This is the first media account to contain first-hand interviews from both Gabe Watson's family and Tina's family.
Relying on technical experts, the story reports that Gabe was exonerated by the Queensland Court of Appeal of murder but convicted of failing to comply with a previously unused and little-known part of the Queensland Penal Code.
This is a violation of section 290.
He says the court decided to call this manslaughter.
The story says the charge amounts to a crime by Gabe of failing to rescue his wife, once she got into trouble.
It also explains Tina's extensive history of heart irregularity and the medication she was taking, on the morning of her death, including anti-sea-sickness pills.
Patrick says that Tina gave a 'no' answer to the medical question at her diving induction, which asked about prior heart disease.
He also states that because Mr. Watson had been absent from diving for some years, his level of rescue skill would have been that of beginner.
The story would eventually have worldwide ramifications, for in a footnote, Patrick revealed he had written to Australia's Attorney General, Robert McClelland MP, requesting Watson not be deported to Alabama, because of the risk he faced from the death penalty in that state and because he had already been tried in the Australian State of Queensland, with a comprehensive review by the Queensland Court of Appeal.
This brought an instant response from an Alabama police web site, questioning the link between the journalist and Mr. Watson.
Bail application
In often heated argument, Judge Nail said that motive could not be substituted for evidence.
He asked what hard evidence the State had against Watson.
Mr Valeska replied that the question of motive was a question for the jury.
After an hour-long hearing, Watson was granted bail with a bond of $100,000.
He had to wear a monitoring radio bracelet, surrender his passport, not leave Alabama, and remain indoors at his home from sundown to sunup during the bail.
Arraignment
The trial date was set for 23 May 2011 (later changed to 13 February 2012 due to security concerns).
Mr Valeska told Judge Nail that important witnesses were to be flown in from Australia.
He then added that a previous witness Mr David Glasgow, the Queensland Magistrate who was the Australian official responsible for Gabe's indictment of murder in Australia, would not now be called.
No reason was given as to the reason why the State had changed its mind on calling Mr Glasgow.
The arraignment lasted just fourteen minutes.
Gabe Watson acquitted
On February 23, 2012, the case against David Gabriel "Gabe" Watson was dismissed by Judge Tommy Nail in a Birmingham, Alabama County Court.
The Judge found the State's case lacked credibility and said, "It just doesn't make any sense quite frankly."
In concluding his findings, His Honor determined, "There is no evidence to suggest that he [Gabe] intended to kill her and he hatched it here and carried it out there.
I'm going to grant this defendant's motion.
Case dismissed."
Watson was never at risk of facing the death penalty as both the U.S. Government and the State of Alabama had given undertakings to the Australian Government, he would not be executed.
He faced a mandatory life sentence, if found guilty.
Fatal Honeymoon - Lifetime Movie Network
On 25 August 2012, The Lifetime Movie Network ran a cable TV movie titled, "Fatal Honeymoon".
It was billed by the Network as a movie, based on the true-story murder allegations that Gabe Watson had kidnapped then murdered his new wife, Tina Watson, during their scuba-diving trip to Australia in 2003.
It stars Billy Miller as Gabe Watson and Aussie Amber Clayton as Tina, with Harvey Keitel in a supporting role as the father of the dead bride.
Well-known Aussie actor, Gary Sweet plays tough Queensland cop Detective Campbell, as the lead Australian investigator.
The screenplay follows much of the work of Lindsay Simpson and Jennifer Cooke, published in their book, Honeymoon Dive, and seems based on this title.
While this work remains the most comprehensive attempt to review the death of Tina Watson, current events since publication have largely overtaken the Simpson/Cooke account of the fatality.
"Fatal Honeymoon" was directed by Nadia Tass.
The screenwriters were Mac Gudgeon and Teena Booth.

Deaths by drowning
The City of Wakefield is in West Yorkshire, England.
As well as Wakefield there are five other medium-sized towns - Normanton, Pontefract, Featherstone, Castleford and Knottingley - and some smaller towns in the City area.
Most people who live in those towns will tell other people that they live in those towns, instead of telling them that they live in Wakefield.
The City of Wakefield has a population of about 320,000 people.
There is a mulberry tree in the exercise yard of the Wakefield Prison.
It is believed that the prisoners made up the song "Here we go round the mulberry bush" as they walked around and around the tree.
Io is a moon of the planet Jupiter.
It is Jupiter's third biggest moon with a diameter of 3642 km, being slightly bigger than Earth's moon.
Io has about 400 active volcanos.
Io is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System.
Volcanoes erupt massive volumes of silicate lava, sulphur and sulphur dioxide, constantly changing Io's appearance.
This new basemap of Jupiter's moon Io was produced by combining the best images from both the Voyager 1 and Galileo Missions.
Although the subjovian hemisphere of Io was poorly seen by Galileo, superbly detailed Voyager 1 images cover longitudes from 240 W to 40 W and the nearby southern latitudes.
Due to the same tidal locking that makes the Moon have the same side always facing Earth, Io always has the same side facing Jupiter.
Unlike most celestial bodies, Io is a prolate spheroid, pulled out of round by tidal stress from Jupiter’s gravity.
Cormorants are a family of seabirds.
There are about 40 different species of Cormorants.
In some areas, they are also known as shags.
