after strangling his 21-year-old former girlfriend, viviana tulli, goodell drove around hackensack throughout the night and the following morning with her corpse seated beside him. i put a hat on her, some glasses. all the while i was doing that, i guess not to make her look dead or make her look more alive or i don t know. goodell eventually pulled over and cut his wrists in an apparent suicide attempt. at some point, he says he stumbled out of the car. next thing you know i woke up in a pool of blood with a cop saying, hey, buddy, hey, buddy. i was like, oh, [ bleep ]. i got up and jumped in the car and tried to run the cop over. so he jumped out the way and i started pushing the police cruiser backwards so he couldn t get in the car and chase me. so i started pushing the car. goodell then led police on a
thank you. would he like to say anything today? absolutely. i would just like, you know, what i did was unforgivable. i m not asking for forgiveness. i just hope i have a chance to bring some type of closure, and i really am sorry about what happened. okay. prosecutor? thank you, your honor. viviana tulli was young. she was beautiful . david goodell took her life because he could. because she simply dared to want a life apart from him. there is no good in this man. there is no remorse in this man. he strangled her. when he strangled her, he intended to kill her.
high-speed chase through residential areas of bergen county. viviana s body was still in the passenger s seat. i was doing like 70 on main street. cars were jumping on the sidewalk. i went across the highway. i lost the cops for a little bit. just due to my erratic driving. mind you, the whole time i was holding her hand. but rigor mortis set in. it was like hard and cold, you know what i m saying? so i get cornered, i went down into a cul-de-sac. so i m like, you know what, i m going to just full speed ahead. so i ran the car right through the roadblock. boom! mother [ bleep ]! don t you [ bleep ] move! get out of the car! get out of the car! as officers attempt to subdue goodell, they have no idea the passenger is the deceased viviana tulli. woke up in the hospital. i m like this, prosecutor is
exchange for a maximum sentence of 45 years. with his final sentencing hearing only days away, he has written an apology but admits he did so in hopes of receiving a shorter sentence. now he questions whether it s even worth reading. so for me to expect anything less than that 45, you know what i m saying, my last words ain t going to be sitting there groveling to somebody s family and this and that. no. [ bleep ] that. i m going to stand there and i m just going to stand there. you ain t going to get nothing out of me. just stand there and look. all right, whatever, it s time to go. i might just turn around and apologize to my own family, you know what i mean? viviana s family never expected an apology from goodell. they say it wouldn t change the fact that his actions have devastated them. so here is her final resting place. three years after viviana s
all right. the faces on most of the bills have been replaced with images of goodell and his cellmate, christopher gonzalez. where did you get the money to make the copies? out of my discovery, because it s considered part of the evidence. so i took the copies off that and copied the copies. i think this one is my favorite. you admitted to me that you re the jack-ass that did this. where is the 200 dollar bill? i was trying to find a picture of you. goodell continues to bide his time at the bergen county jail as waits formal sentencing after pleading guilty to murdering viviana tulli, his 21-year-old former girlfriend. viviana s family thought the murder trial would be emotionally devastating. so prosecutors made a deal with goodell in which he would receive no more than 45 years in prison in exchange for a guilty plea. who wins? i win.
