When they asked why he'd done it, the best explanation Winston could come up with was that he gave in to urges to kill and rape.
When Mosley was done giving his confession, Detective Carroll went to the phone to call prosecutor Phil Cheda to inform him that they'd likely solved two recent murders.
Cheda listened to Carroll's story, but after he heard the details of the Johnson murder, he stopped the detectives and explained that Mosley was wrong.
He claimed he'd shot Annie Mae Johnson when, in fact, she had been stabbed to death.
Oh, so he was just trying to get credit for a murder?
Well, when Carol confronted Mosley with the discrepancy, Winston looked unsurprised.
Then in the same flat tone he'd had all night, he simply said, I shot her.
So it's like, what the fuck are you talking about now?
So when the autopsy was initially conducted on Annie Mae Johnson, the coroner had to contend with the fact that she had been badly burned across large parts of her body, which obscured some of her injuries.
After having the body exhumed and x-rayed, the coroner discovered that indeed his original cause of death had been wrong.
The x-rays clearly showed six .22 caliber bullets in Johnson's body.
When he had originally conducted the autopsy, the entrance wounds had been so small that he'd mistaken them for puncture wounds caused by something like an ice pick.
Thus, he had listed it as stabbing.
This new revelation proved that not only had Winston Mosley killed Kitty Genovese, he had absolutely killed Annie Mae Johnson.
The fact that they said, no, you were wrong, like you told them, he just said, I shot her.
Like he's like, go ahead, figure it out.
