An Alabama judge on Thursday acquitted a man accused of drowning his newlywed wife during a honeymoon diving trip to Australia.
An Alabama judge on Thursday acquitted the man accused of drowning his newlywed wife during a honeymoon diving trip to Australia eight years ago, saying in an unusual ruling that prosecutors did not prove the man intentionally killed his wife to collect on a life insurance policy.

A dream honeymoon to scuba dive on Australia's Great Barrier Reef turned into a terrible nightmare, and the horror is about to play out years later in a courtroom in Alabama.
A dream honeymoon to scuba dive on Australia's Great Barrier Reef turned into a terrible nightmare, and the horror is about to play out years later in a courtroom in Alabama.
A judge in Birmingham, Ala., declined Thursday to dismiss capital murder charges against a man accused of killing his wife during a 2003 honeymoon diving trip to Australia.
An Alabama man accused of killing his wife during their Great Barrier Reef honeymoon has been indicted on two murder counts, the state said Thursday after the suspect arrived in the U.S. from Australia, where he served an 18-month prison sentence for the 2003 drowning death.
An Alabama man who served 18 months in Australian prison for his wife's drowning death has returned to the United States where he could face prosecution for killing her during their 2003 honeymoon on the Great Barrier Reef, a law enforcement official said.
"I'm just so relieved. Hopefully he can put his life back together," the elder Mr. Watson said.
Mr. Watson said he was leading her back to a rope when she panicked, knocked off his mask and air hose, and began sinking, according to Mr. Thomas.
