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 he awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to murdering viviana tulle, his 21-year-old former girlfriend. viviana s family thought the murder trial would be emotionally devastating. so prosecutors made a deal which he would receive no more than 45 years in prison in exchange for a guilty plea. who wins? i win. because at the end of the day, my family can come and see me, they can hug and kiss me, get on the phone when they want to, i can always talk to my family. i win. i m still breathing. i m going to go home some day. i win. goodell s case has gained him notoriety, and he s become well known among the inmates, including rendell maldanado. that s my boy.
investigation report, you don t see viviana as a person. that s really the tragedy of this. is that you saw her as something that belonged to you as property. and i don t accept, not even for a moment, that because of your hard life and because of the lack of love that you received that it gives you license to do this to women. i know that the state and the defense have agreed to a plea agreement. you don t deserve less. you have no conscience. you have no remorse. you have no soul. you pled here to murder, and i do agree that, in fact, it was premeditated. you understand that you have to do 85% of 45 years before you are released on parole. however, because of your prior
the bergen county jail in hackensack, new jersey, books about 7,600 men and women every year. look straight, man. most will leave within a day or two. but those who cannot make bond will be assigned to a housing unit until their cases are resolved. let s go, gentlemen. the majority of stays here usually occur without incident. but not david goodell s. this is david s picture from the arrest the day after the murder. he had attempted suicide or at least made gestures of attempting suicide prior to his arrest. after strangling his 21-year-old former girlfriend, viviana toole, he drove around hackensack throughout the night and the following morning with her corpse seated beside him. i put a hat on her, some glasses.
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 death, her older sister, stella tulli, visits her grave site regularly. adding to the pain is the fact that the murder was committed on their mother s birthday. you know, we all have a birthday. that s our own special day, the one day we get to celebrate for ourselves. he even took that away from my mother. not only did he take her youngest daughter, he took the one day she had for herself. one of the first questions i thought that night before bed is did he strangle her from behind and she couldn t fend him off that well, or was he looking in her eyes? what was she thinking as he was taking the last bit of breath from her? neither stella nor the rest of the family knew much about goodell s account of the murder, including the fact that he was facing viviana when he strangled her. at stella s request, our producer provided her info
good afternoon, you can all have a seat. in the courtroom are viviana s family members, including her mother and older sister, stella tulli. this is the matter of the state of new jersey versus david goodell. goodell has made a deal for no more than 45 years in prison. but his public defender will make the case for less time. judge, i m sure there are a lot of people in this courtroom who consider mr. goodell to be the personification of evil, but i m going to ask the court to consider the other side of mr. goodell. because when i look at this presentence report, i see a person who s never really had a chance in life. both of his parents were addicts, he didn t have the support and love and nurturing that everyone needs growing up. i just ask that your honor consider these factors. and impose less than the maximum sentence. at least give him some chance,
