University of Alabama Scuba Death Indictment - from CBS42.com
A scuba instructor at the University of Alabama is indicted in the death of a student during a scuba diving class.
Student Zachary Moore died from an air embolism in a pool at the University of Alabama last year. A grand jury has indicted instructor Allison Gibson and charged her with "criminally negligent homicide."
Investigators say Moore came to the surface of the pool too fast before releasing some of the air in his lungs.
Captain Loyd Baker of the Tuscaloosa Metro Homicide Unit said, "This is a Class A misdemeanor, so the maximum time would be a year in jail so this is not at the same level as an intentional murder."
Moore is free on $5,000 bond. Since that accident, the university stopped offering scuba classes.
