Earlier this week, Dale Hausner was heard on a secret audio recording saying he shot somebody “at 27th Avenue in the yard.” In a videotaped interrogation after his arrest, which is being played in full today for the jury, he vehemently denies having shot anybody and says the remarks were just a sick joke.
“Maybe I was drinking. That’s troubling. I haven’t shot anybody anywhere,” Hausner tells detective Clark Schwartzkopf on the videotape. “I have a sick sense of humor, so I joke about certain stuff.”
“I could never have shot anybody in my life,” he said at another point. “I never have and I hope I never will.”
