I wonder if his life vest really was home? She said he didn't have a life vest on. I can't imagine him going into deep water, with motor boats around and all, without a life vest.
It is really hard to see how this played out with the charge being "2nd degree murder" which I believe means that it is not premeditated or planned in advance. That seems to eliminate canoe tampering or life jacket tampering in advance of the pair heading out on the water. Drugging also would seem to be pre-meditated. Maybe he was drunk? If he was under the influence he may have neglected to wear a vest...And she took advantage of his incapacitation and did not help him when he capsized/actively aided capsizing and drowning. Sad however it happened.

This doesn't say when the witness saw them on the river. Obviously they were there at some point during the day as she ended up on the river and had to be "rescued." This still could mean that something happened on that island.

Under New York criminal law, murder in the second degree is one of several forms of homicide, or conduct which causes the death of a person. Other forms of homicide include first-degree murder, manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and abortion.

Murder Charge for Woman Who Said Fiancé’s Kayak Capsized in Hudson River http://nyti.ms/1DFnn23
From linked story:
[...]
..... Mr. Viafore, who held a well-paying job as a project manager, had been supporting her since she quit her job as a bartender
The Orange County district attorney, David M. Hoovler, would not say whether there was a life insurance policy, a will or estate, that was set to go to Ms. Graswald after Mr. Viafore’s death.

Well it would be prudent to check whether this perp has reason to expect a payout of some sort.
So, he was supporting HER ? And this is how she (allegedly) responded ?
Plain evil.
The story of wanting 'threesomes' may be a concoction of hers, and even if true---there's no law against it. She could have just walked away !!! :maddening:
Another thing... she seems like a small person---wonder if she had any 'help' ?
And if someone is incapacitated in a kayak and they're pushed over --- do they just fall out into the water ? I thought your legs kind of held you in, so that if able, you could 'right' yourself by flipping around ?
Sorry , don't have any kayaking knowledge. :blushing:
:moo:
Graswald said from jail that she had been unconscious for much of the time the night of the kayak accident.
