this time, concerning clagett s mother. as far as one of the things yesterday that i i really want to put it all out there, because i m coming real 100%, and i believe that s the only thing that god is going to honor, as far as another voice coming over me, as far as my eyes changing, as far as my mannerisms changing, and that i did something similar to my mom. so, i thought that was something that i should be open about. you choked your mother? what s that? you choked your mother? not choked. engaged in harmful physical behavior. what would that be, then? i ll spell it out for you, man. my mother, i laid hands on her and i didn t even know it. did you physically hurt your mother? i just said that, yes, ma am. you said you laid hands on her, that s very vague. yes, i laid hands on my mother. i said that earlier, i physically hurt my mother. and i m asking how? did you hit her?
and it got really, really, really messy very quickly and there was blood everywhere. i had seen a lot of blood in my life and i had never seen that much blood and seen a person still moving, still conscious. during the struggle, i had while i was trying to strangle this person, she reached back and tried to gouge out my eye. and cause and effect, i guess, she tried to gouge out my eye, so i just gouged out hers. i did a horrible, atrocious act against another human being. and i was convicted of attempted murder and i was given an eight-year sentence for it. clagett served five years in an alaska state prison before he was released on parole. and god knows the all my sins. i ve done far worse things than that. what did you do? let s just say this, i was pistol happy.
i liked hurting i liked hurting men. i liked embarrassing them. i liked beating em down. i took pleasure in other people s pain. i became a bit of a sadist. coming up twice, thank you. you re starting to offend me, but, yes, twice i gave my life to god. chance clagett grows angry as our field producer seeks the truth. and the people across from me, they asked me what i did to get in here. and i just told them, me and my man got into a fight. i won t ever tell anyone what i did. a female inmate lies to protect herself in jail.
i ve never had a level one since i ve been assigned here. level one is for in my terms, no other way to put it, they are a true bad guy. 27-year-old chance clagett had recently been arrested for allegedly beating and choking a girlfriend. when the police arrived, the victim told him during the attack, clagett said he would kill her, just as he had done to 21 others. he would later plead not guilty at his arraignment. so now the authorities want to try to match his dna with unsolved homicides. at that point, even though we had wrapped up all our stories, we thought, well, we have to see if there s any validity to this, if, in fact, he is a serial killer. okay. if i were a judge and i was asking for your plea, what would you tell me? mercy, lord. mercy.
i don t remember, because i have absolutely zero recollection of it as a matter of fact, i thought she was lying when she told me it. however, my mother s not one to lie, so i took what she said at face value. and suddenly for the first time, clagett entered a clear answer as to whether or not he was a serial killer. okay, then that is going to beg the question that has come up with all these 21 people. my dna will show that i did not do that. i will be completely restored i did not do that. i did not kill no 21 different people. and that would appear to be the truth. clagett would later plead guilty and be sentenced to five years in prison for assault and battery. he served a year and seven months and us with released on probation. more than two years after we met him, no murder charges had been filed.
