@waitexplainthat: BREAKING: Jason Leon Watford, the man arrested in connection with the suspected homicide aboard the MSC Seascape cruise ship, has a family violence history. And what we uncovered about his wife raises even MORE questions. WET Media obtained Smith County, Texas court records showing Watford pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily injury to a family member in November 2024. But here’s where it gets interesting. His wife, Susan K. Watford, pleaded guilty in a SEPARATE felony injury case just 10 DAYS EARLIER. Her sentence? 10 YEARS of deferred-adjudication supervision and 600 HOURS of community service. Two spouses. Two violence-related criminal cases. Guilty pleas just ten days apart. Now Jason Watford is in custody following a suspected homicide aboard a Caribbean cruise ship that was forced to return to Galveston, Texas. Passengers have reported that the deceased woman was the suspect’s spouse. Authorities have not publicly identified her. What happened in those earlier cases, and who were the victims? We’re investigating the records behind the breaking headlines. Follow Wait, Explain That? (WET Media) for updates as this investigation develops. #jasonleonwatford #mscseascape #galveston #cruiseship #breakingnews
