A 51-year-old defendant accused of deliberately shutting off the air supply of a teenage lobster diver issued a statement on Wednesday, one day after formal charges of attempted second-degree murder were filed against him. The arrest came following an investigation into the water-based incident that left the young diver in peril.
Details of the alleged incident remain under investigation by local authorities. The case centers on allegations that the defendant knowingly compromised the victim’s air supply while underwater, creating a life-threatening situation for the teen engaged in commercial lobster diving operations.
The defendant’s public comments mark his first response since facing the felony charge. Legal proceedings are expected to continue as the case moves through the courts.
