A Friend to Die For1994

[court, tape confession]

Angela Delvecchio:
[on tape] I thought she was going to tell everyone at school that I was really weird. I can't explain it. I don't understand it. It was... It was like... If I had been thinking straight, it never would've happened. I guess I was really angry and I really don't know... She was just telling me to go away, and I did it. It was exactly like I was watching it. You know how... how you see a dream, and then you see yourself doing things? And... It was so much like a dream that I thought I would wake up.

Agent Gilwood:
[on tape] How do you feel about her now?

Angela Delvecchio:
[tearfully] I just keep... I keep wishing that I could... I could push time backwards. I sort of apologized to her in my mind. Like, I think, she's in heaven now.

Agent Gilwood:
Do you think it was partly her fault?

Angela Delvecchio:
[stops crying] I remember the mean things about her, but I... I could never think that it was her fault. I don't think there's any reason in the world that justifies killing someone. Mr. Gilwood?

Agent Gilwood:
Yes?

Angela Delvecchio:
Will the press get my name?

Agent Gilwood:
We don't release names in juvenile cases, Angela, but it's possible they could get it on their own.

Angela Delvecchio:
I don't see any reason for living if everyone... I mean, if people knew that... Could I use the restroom? I think I'm going to be sick.
