Criminologists Dr Asher Flynn, from Monash University, and Dr Kate Fitz-Gibbon, from Deakin University, have examined Watson’s trials in Queensland and Alabama, and in a new book say justice was denied for one reason: money...
Flynn and Fitz-Gibbon’s research suggests the decision to accept a plea deal instead of running a full murder trial saved the Queensland Government up to $2 million.
They conclude: “This saving appears to have been a substantial motivation underpinning the Queensland ODPP’s (Office of the Director of Public Prosecution) decision to bargain its way out of prosecuting Gabe for Tina’s murder.”...
In Birmingham, Alabama... as in Queensland, financial constraints would rob Tina’s family of justice.
Prosecutors could not afford to produce key witnesses from Australia, and were unable to present key evidence painstakingly constructed by police...
n their research, Flynn and Fitz-Gibbon interviewed Watson’s family, who were sure of their son’s innocence, but also felt let down by him not facing a jury.
The Watson family felt that without a jury making a decision on Gabe’s guilt, he was denied the chance to clear his name once and for all.
This is the video of Gabe removing flowers from Tina's grave. He is one sick dude.
