The boozed-up Illinois boater who decapitated a former Marine on Saturday cried that his “life was over” after the fatal collision, according to prosecutors.   Richard Stevenson, 45, was allegedly powering his 31-foot pontoon at speeds close to 80 mph when he hit a smaller boat in a no-wake zone on the Fox River, according to prosecutors and witnesses.   Stevenson’s vessel was then launched into the air, decapitating 49-year-old Magdalena Jablonska, before it landed in trees along the river’s shoreline, prosecutors said in court Tuesday, according to Fox 32.
