A man who made a deathbed confession that linked him to a cold case murder from 1995 now faces jail because of what he thought was a last-ditch effort for a clean conscience.
James Washington was having a heart attack when he called a police officer over to his hospital bed in 2009.
While he hoped for absolution, what he got instead was a medical miracle. And now, a murder charge.
When Washington had the heart attack, he was in jail for a different crime. He had always been linked to the murder of Joyce Goodener in 1995 but there was never enough to charge him.
Pillar of society, that one.
