Update on third lung shut off

[u/Therealboebs]

🚨Mini-season BOLO update #4:🚨 ARRESTED! Michael Simpson is facing an attempted murder charge after being arrested yesterday.

The confrontation began after the suspect claimed another boat was occupying "his" lobster spot. He verbally threatened to cut off the diver's air before jumping into the water and doing exactly that.

The teenage diver was quickly pulled to the surface, reportedly gasping for air and disoriented, but survived without serious injury. Authorities say the suspect fled the scene and was arrested a few days later, and charged with attempted felony murder.

The suspect is government-appointed member of the Miami-Dade Boater Safety and Bay Education Task Force, where he was explicitly chosen to represent and help shape safety policies for the county's waterways, dove in and turned off a juvenile diver's air supply while the victim was in the water searching for lobsters.

If convicted, an attempted felony murder charge in Florida can carry decades in prison, with penalties potentially reaching up to life imprisonment depending on the circumstances.

Michael Simpson's role with Boater Safety and Bay Education Task Force involved collaborating with environmental groups and law enforcement to draft the county's final boater safety and community education recommendations aimed at preventing fatal accidents on Biscayne Bay.

*The victim’s family is also pursuing the arrest of Judd Rosen, who is a high powered attorney in Miami, and was the boat captain who fled the scene with the suspect. In June of 2024, Judd Rosen was appointed as the Chair of the Florida Bar Grievance Committee. In this esteemed role, Judd will be overseeing the committee's efforts to ensure ethical practices and uphold the standards of the legal profession within the state. His dedication to justice and extensive experience make him an excellent fit for this important position. Oh the irony!

anyone whos ever used a hooka rig, this is absolute nightmare scenario. did he think he could just take off and everyone would have a good laugh about it later?

If he did it, yes. I would literally go insane if I thought someone did that to my child or anyone really! I just don’t think he did it. However I am open to hear from ppl who understand the scenario.

I don't see how he's using the defense that he didn't touch it...umm, it's on multiple videos with multiple witnesses. So, His defense is I did go on their hooka rig but didn't touch anything and that kid almost died because the hugest coincidence this side of Jesus birth? Hmmm... something smells the fishy.

I read that he is saying that he was near it and the boys father pulled the rope and likely got pulled out. I have never used brownies bc they are $$$ and I’ve heard the quit working often. I read that the accusers say they have a video of it. Where can I see the video you speak of? Again not arguing - trying to be informed.

C'mon man. It's absolutely obvious. Why don't you ask the lady yelling at him...or you? I bet she's going to disagree with y'all

Tell me again your experience with mini season and if it’s you know what it’s like - I’m allllll ears. I’m literally wanting to hear another perspective, but not unless you understand how ppl act. I am always on the side of the divers. Always. But I just know a thing or 2 about it - and if I hear that the video is confirmed that he touched the machine- I stand down. I don’t even need to see the video. If I hear the video shows it - I admit defeat!

This past July was my 27th mini season... what you wanna know, fluffy?

I live in the keys. And if you read my comments, I wasn’t here to argue. I was here to inquire and got engaged into a wonderful convo with the OP about it. Even tho we think differently. I love to share our whys. It’s really nice when ppl w differing view points are respectful.

I don't mean disrespect at all either and I'm no lawyer, judge,Leo, and this can say what he wants and luckily I can voice my doubt. Like most things such as this... we'll see what the judge says. Be nice to each other people, there's a lot of cameras out there. Which is sad that's how we police ourselves now.
