The capital murder charge against Gabe Watson over the death of his wife after she drowned during a scuba dive on their honeymoon, has been abruptly dismissed.

The judge in the Birmingham, Alabama courtroom ruled on Thursday that prosecutors failed to present enough evidence of a crime to send the case to jurors, and ended the two week trial by dismissing the case personally.

"The evidence is sorely lacking that it was an intentional act," said Judge Jimmy Nail, reported AL.com, in response to a defense motion for acquittal after the prosecution completed its case. "The only way to convict him of intentional murder is to speculate. Nobody knows exactly what happened in the water. I'm sure we'll never know."

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Watson was on trial for the capital murder of his wife of 11 days, Tina Thomas Watson, who died on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef during a scuba dive, he was accused of turning off her air supply and letting her sink to her death at the bottom of the ocean.

The Alabama judge went on to say that the prosecution's evidence that Watson hoped to benefit financially from an insurance claim of $210,000 by killing his bride was a stretch and he heard no evidence proving a profit motive.

Tuesday had not been a good day in court for prosecutors. Not only did the Alabama attorney general's office lose their bid to call a witness whose testimony would prove that Watson, 34, "had murder on his mind" while flying to Australia with Tina, but they also got scoffed at by Judge Nail over their alleged motive, and one lawyer was told he needed a lesson in the rules of court.
