    Australia 'honeymoon killer' free but fears US penalty

    An American man known as the honeymoon killer has been released from an Australian jail.


    Gabe Watson was jailed for the manslaughter of his wife while scuba diving during their honeymoon on the Great Barrier Reef.



    The bubblewrap salesman is now in the custody of immigration officers.


    The Australian government is awaiting a guarantee from US authorities that he will not face the death penalty if he is retried at home in Alabama.

    Does Alabama have the death penalty? My guess is yes.

    Some hearty knaves and simple fools,
    Some apish and pragmatic mules,
    Some servile acquiescing fools,
    These, these comprise a congress.

    When Jove resolved to send a curse,
    And all the woes of life rehearse,
    Not plague, not famine, but much worse,
    He cursed us with a congress.
