This I believe is what happened


I believe Wagner knew she was in the water but never thought she would drown. He was drunk and pissed and left her there thinking she would be picked up somewhere. The old, "she always lands on her feet" type of thinking". So how does a lawyer prosecute a case like this?

Doesn't matter how they try to prosecute. Any sane lawyer realizes that there is too much resonable doubt.

All the witnesses' testimony is over 30 years old, one of whom has a book

The woman who says she heard Wood cry out "couldn't reach the coast guard," never shouted out to help the victim and never confimred that she was saved (seriously the woman did nothing for someone who heard a woman crying for help)

It is confirmed that everyone on the boat was plastered, so the captain's inform can't be all that reliable

And the case was already deemed an accident based on the physical evidence and even now the coroner says it was accidential

There is resonable doubt that she was as afraid of water as people have said. Think about it, she is deathly afraid of water but hangs out on a yacht multiple times. You could always use the argument that she could had taken the boat out like believed decades before.

Yeah, you're right. There's just too much reasonable doubt. Nobody saw anybody do anything.

Miss Kitty, no witness testimony "is over 30 years old." That is impossible, as Natalie hasn't even been dead for 30 years yet.

Do you think "almost 30 years old" makes it any more credible? That was really dumb.

reply

Well unless they can get a trial going in the next few days and get the witnesses on the stand by next tuesday, it will be over 30 years.

She said, after she called the coast guard and couldn't get through, she called the police and was told a helicopter would be sent. She also shined a light in the area to try to see what was going on.

I had to click on a bunch of different links to get more of the witness's story and more details.

I'm deathly afraid of flying but am oddly drawn to it and fly all the time.
Phobias are strange things, some avoid them at all costs, others continue to expose themselves to their worst fears.

I agree with the person who questions all this "Natalie was so afraid of the water" stuff. When I was a kid, I went out fishing and crabbing with my grandfather on his boats. He was a capable boatsman, so I never felt scared. Later, I developed an intense fear of drowning, even though I'm drawn to water for its beauty, as well as its powers of relaxation. These days, I don't feel comfortable on boats, so I doubt I would own a yacht if I were so terrified of the water. I also detest flying, which I do only when it can't be avoided. I also try to avoid huge bridges whenever possible; if I must be on a large bridge, I stick to inside lanes.

The ridiculous woman who claims to have heard Wood that night should be ignored as the opportunist she is. Nothing about her story makes any sense, especially the words Wood supposedly cried out. "I'm drowning"? Really? Of all the people I've ever seen struggling in the water, not one of them ever screamed "I'm drowning." Given Wood's level of intoxication and disorientation, as well as the chilly waters, I doubt her voice would have been so clear, no less amid all the sounds of parties, wildlife, etc.
