off her neck.

to stop the bleeding?

done something.

she was still alive.

368
00:18:56,396 --> 00:18:59,086
what I was doing, okay?

And so the letters you wrote
Detective Russell...

claiming that the real killer
was your friend Chris Keller.
374
00:19:12,455 --> 00:19:13,935
Chris knew my mom.
375
00:19:15,502 --> 00:19:17,462
Okay? He was violent.

Chris fit.
He made sense.
378
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,899

379
00:19:25,947 --> 00:19:27,637

Yes.

I did it.
384
00:19:48,535 --> 00:19:50,405
I killed her.

Eric Fisher,
390
00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:06,809
did you fabricate
your confession
391
00:20:06,857 --> 00:20:09,817
in order to receive
the youthful offender sentence?
392
00:20:13,255 --> 00:20:14,645
No.

The gallery may be seated.
401
00:21:16,187 --> 00:21:19,837
Mr. Fisher, I ordered
the County Probation Department
402
00:21:19,887 --> 00:21:21,577
to determine your eligibility
for sentencing
403
00:21:21,628 --> 00:21:22,928
under the Youth Authority,
404
00:21:22,977 --> 00:21:24,147
where, upon
successful completion
405
00:21:24,195 --> 00:21:25,805
of a program
of rehabilitation,
406
00:21:25,849 --> 00:21:29,109
you would be released at age 25.
407
00:21:29,157 --> 00:21:30,157
Yes, Your Honor.
408
00:21:30,201 --> 00:21:31,861
I have
carefully reviewed
409
00:21:31,899 --> 00:21:33,899
your probation report,
410
00:21:33,944 --> 00:21:36,124

and conclusions
411
00:21:36,164 --> 00:21:37,994
of the psychiatric
testing and evaluation,
412
00:21:38,035 --> 00:21:39,855
and I find
they are all in agreement.
413
00:21:39,907 --> 00:21:42,907
Unfortunately,
Mr. Fisher,
414
00:21:42,953 --> 00:21:44,653
due to the circumstances
of the crime
415
00:21:44,694 --> 00:21:47,444
and your subsequent failure
to show sufficient remorse
416
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,310
or empathy
for your victim...
417
00:21:49,351 --> 00:21:51,091
N- No, that's-that's...
that's not true,
418
00:21:51,135 --> 00:21:53,565
that's not true...the court finds
that you are not eligible
419
00:21:53,616 --> 00:21:55,706

the California Youth Authority.
420
00:21:55,749 --> 00:21:57,359
Judge, my client
has cooperated fully...
421
00:21:57,403 --> 00:22:00,363
I hereby order your client
to stand trial as an adult
422
00:22:00,406 --> 00:22:01,966
on the charge
of second-degree murder.
423
00:22:02,016 --> 00:22:05,106
Mr. Fisher...
424
00:22:05,149 --> 00:22:07,409
do you choose to withdraw
your guilty plea
425
00:22:07,456 --> 00:22:10,196
at this time?Yes, Your Honor.

fix this? Yeah?Yeah.

you back your balls.
