if i knew that i was going to go through all this, you know, when i was getting sentenced? i would have rather just, you know if i could, i ll just go out to the firing squad or something, you know, just end it. in reality, all i m doing is dying a slow, painful death, you know? the victim was shot four times, face and chest area. briceno s childhood friend, jeremy bowles, will likely never see freedom again either. one more time in the head. after confessing to 29 murders, bowles has been asked by jail officials to detail the killings in writing. as the details come forward, our chain will basically be to gather all the information from him as much as possible, document it on paper.
and you try to push them into a corner. it s like, i don t have any more corners to push anything away anymore. not only did bowles run out of corners to push away the cripes of his past, he s decided to come to terms with them. though he had earlier alluded to having committed murder, he decided to reveal to us the stunning magnitude of his homicidal past. i remember 29 murders in detail. from times, dates, places. from caliber of weapons, methods used. i remember the sounds of people begging for their lives. i remember people saying no. i remember the smell of blood. i mean, they say you re a psychopath murderer after three people, a serial killer. i ve blown that out of the water quite a few times. bowles says his first murder occurred at age 13 and that he used a variety of methods to kill.
threat because he s completely unpredictable. one minute you can be talking to him, and he can be laughing and just having a normal day. and the next moment, he can literally be attacking you or me. he s from this particular gang in l.a., sarzana. it means the city in hell. meaning cause as much mayhem, as much damage as you can. through prison and through other incarcerations, he s really made connections with people from the mexican mafia. them people to me are the same people as me, meaning mexican mafia. a lot of people live in fear of them. me, personally, i never did. it was something i kind of grew up with. jeremy bowles to me is the ultimate chameleon. he basically can fit in anywhere. and with the relationship that he s made with the mexican mafia, he truly is capable of doing just about everything. including killing people. while bowles has never been charged with murder, he freely admits that gang violence has
me and albert briceno have been around each other for like the last 22 years. we were neighbors in juvenile hall. briceno and bowles are not only old friends. they share long criminal histories. they are considered among the most dangerous and violent inmates in the entire jail. because of that, they will never have physical contact. they are housed in a unit where only one inmate at a time is allowed into the common area. we laugh at it now. we look at each other door to door. we re just laughing like, dude, what the hell are we doing? we re 34 years old. we re still like we re 10 years old in the heart. come on. come on. inside their cells the sinks provide the best sound transmission and serve as low-tech intercoms. good to see you again, though, man. yeah. we re getting old, huh? [ bleep ], dude. [ bleep ].
his charges, as well. along with the dozens he s already facing, two new charges have just been filed. both for premeditated murder. never been charged with murder. and it s kind of funny because i ve been charged with everything else but that. co-defendant severed from me, so he could testify against me. i understand what he s doing to save hisself. would i do it? i don t think so. but for each his own. what i don t understand is this is the life you sign up for. you want to go getting in trouble. and then all of a sudden, you can t take the heat and you turn around and you go tell on everybody. we take an oath. for this to happen is very upsetting. though his lawyer has entered a not guilty plea on the new murder charges, bowles seemed resigned to the likely end result, a murder conviction in at least one of the cases. he also made it clear that he had no feelings about the victim. you know, so many years of doing things and getting away with it, now getting caught with it.
