In this case, he admitted he was there. He admitted Elizabeth died. He admitted that he sent these text messages, okay? He just didn't admit to how it went down in the bedroom, which again, that's very, very unusual. But it obviously, thank God, didn't work out for him.

To be honest with you, this really wasn't rocket science. You know, it wasn't really a tough case to prove. 99 out of 100 homicide trials take a week, maybe two weeks at the most.

And I use that word psychopath, you know, not in a medical sense, but in just a... a human sense that you are a sick killer. There are very few smart criminals out there.
