Alabama authorities are frustrated with Australia for interering in the return of honeymoon killer Gabe Watson. He has recently ended his 18 month sentence in Queensland for the manslaughter of his wife. I don't really understand why Immigration insisted on knowing that he would not be sentenced to death once he got home to America, it sounds like we are on his side. "We are now satisfied that our international obligations have been met and are commencing plans for Mr Watson's removal" they said. They got a guarantee from Alabama that he wouldn't end up on death row, but it wasn't enough for Canberra, they insisted that the guarantee should come from the US Federal Government. Now that they have it, he should be home within a few days.
Alabama Attorney-General Troy King is hell bent on prosecuting Watson for murdering Tina, claiming he planned to kill her before they left home for their honeymoon. Good luck Alabama, I hope you come up with a better sentence than we did - 18 months for murder is a joke and says a lot about our justice system - one could argue that there is much room for improvement.
