A 51-year-old man facing charges of attempted second-degree murder for allegedly cutting off a teenage lobster diver’s air supply has spoken out, denying the accusations.
Michael Simpson, who was charged recently, appeared on “Good Morning America” on Friday to address the situation. He firmly rejected all claims made against him, telling ABC News correspondent Victor Oquendo, “It’s all lies, it’s simple.
It’s been a devastating few days. It’s absolutely untrue.”
Authorities continue to investigate the case. More details will be provided as they become available.
