I knew I was the only person on this planet that would feel pain from it.

And, you know, one thing I'll never apologize for is loving my mother.

Though there is Kenny, so Kent is not the only son to feel the pain.

I still carry a lot of guilt with Kenny.

I mean, it's my biggest regret not trying harder to pull him from that grass.

But I was outmatched.

Mom's strong with me in that department.

Today, Kenny Kimes is a middle-aged man serving his time in a prison in San Diego.

He agreed to speak with us on the phone, which is what the California prison system allows.

But this would be his first recorded interview since the day he took that court TV reporter hostage a quarter century ago.

And it was a much different Kenny this time.

This was his reason for talking to us, to tell us he had come up with, on his own, a grand idea.

Just how did this convicted killer plan to raise a million while in prison for life?

Well, he isn't exactly sure about that, he said.

It was that kind of conversation, friendly, with some kind of limit, we sensed, coming soon.

Is there anything that you would like to say now to the families of those people, to the survivors of those people, that would be... I'm sorry.

Mind you, he said, it was his mother who did it, who made him a killer.

So, her fault?

Well, yes.

I find that very interesting, actually, Kenny, that you can say you love your mother, that you... I love my mom and dad forever.
