OK - I do find it odd that you apparently came here to post just about Cocoview. You had no other postings on the entire board prior to this one. Now, you have a grant total of three posts in the course of 2 days in December - and nothing since. I would take this one person's review with a...

I'm jealous as hell - wish I had a trip to CCV sooner than next June lined up! I think you'll love it. As far as taking Rescue while you're there...hmm. Rescue is probably the most useful course you'll ever take and normally I'd absolutely recommend doing it at any time. It is, however, also...

I watched the Dateline piece as well and from what I recall, the film of him knocking on doors was not at the hotel 20 minutes away, but at the SCUBA shop 100 yards away from the beach. When he knocked on those doors no one was there - they had locked up and gone for the day.

It would "appear" to you that way - but you would be wrong. I did do some soul searching and thought long and hard about whether it was possible for the David Swain I knew to have done such a thing. While you may not believe what I'm saying, I did explore the possibility in my thoughts that...

I would've left out the word "practical".....

Well, well, well - aren't we snarky?

You're wrong (hey - you said to correct you). a) The judge's error was not a "technicality" - as you can see from the Appeals Court ruling as state in the three articles I posted above, the judge biased the jury with her summation. The Honorable Ola Mae Edwards "stated that the High Court...

The decision isn't online yet - they seem to be running about a week behind in posting the High Courts' decisions. This article is probably the one that explains the judges' decision in the most detail that I can find online: David Swain walks free David Swain, the Rhode Island man convicted...

Actually, I don't know that you "should" form your own opinions on whether or not he killed his wife, since you likely have not heard any of the defense's case and have only read or seen the biased reporting about the case, which has assumed his guilt from Day 1. Here in Providence, RI, the...

And AfterDark wasn't on the jury, so no recusal is necessary. The reality is that no matter what anyone *thinks* for any reason - whether they know him as AfterDark and I do (and admittedly, that probably makes us biased in his favor) - or they're just basing their opinion on the (biased...

Got off on a technicality? LOL - let's see. The "technicality" on which the conviction was overturned was essentially that the trial judge told the jury "You've heard the prosecution's case, you've heard the defense's case. The defense's case has no place in this trial. Now go ignore it and...

It's hitting the news everywhere with the AP feed - SB won't let me post it again, since I posted the article in the Court Cases forum. :no:. The gist of the decision was the trial judge gave faulty instructions to the jury, basically instructing them to ignore the defense's case and only pay...

Update with more details on the reasons for overturning the conviction: "I can now breathe a little free air, go for a walk, go home and try to pick up the pieces and go on". Those were the words of United States citizen David Swain today, September 29 after the Eastern Caribbean Supreme...

The instructor you're looking for is Dennis Morton. He live in MA, but I'm not in touch with him, unfortunately. I would imagine that you could reach him through PADI, though. You can always get a copy of your card through PADI and if he still has your logbook, I'm sure they could find a way...

You've got a heck of a lot of "facts" wrong in your posts. 1) The shop wasn't "failing." Shelley had invested in it, but that was because they had decided together to make MAJOR improvements to the property - like adding an onsite indoor pool and add two rental units for vacationers. 2) There...

Are you talking about a DM or an instructor? There was a tall very thin instructor there named Rick Lewis - is that who you mean? I could get a message to him, I think...
