((RICHARD ALLEN DAVIS, ACCUSED KILLER: FINALLY I REALIZED WHAT I HAD DONE.
SHE WAS STILL ALIVE.
A tape made by police of Richard Allen Davis confessing to the
abduction and killing of 12 year old Polly Klaas. The disturbingly
candid tape was released by the superior court. On tape Davis
describes how he climbed through a window of Polly's home, took her
and eventually strangled her.
DAVIS: I STRANGLED HER WHILE WE WERE OUT AND SHE WAS COMING BACK TO THE
CAR TO GET BACK IN. POLICE: YOU STRANGLED HER? DAVIS: YEAH. POLICE: WHAT DID
YOU USE TO STRANGLE HER? DAVIS: A PIECE OF CLOTH?
As jurors in the Davis trial watched the tape tuesday, one cried
and the others appeared grim-faced.
Before the tape was played jurors were told that Davis decided to confess after
he learned police had found his palm print in Polly's bedroom.
The klaas family called the tape self-serving.
JOE KLAAS/POLLY'S GRANDFATHER:
HE WAS ACTING, PRETENDING TO BE IN ANGUISH WHILE CHAIN SMOKING AND DRINKING HOT
COFFEE.
Davis is accused of kidnapping Polly from her bedroom while the girl and
two of her friends were having a sleep-over. That was in
October of 1993.
On the confession tape, Davis claims he took Polly because he was
high on drugs and alcohol and said he did not molest the child.
Prosecutors say they do not believe all of Davis' story. Instead they
say the tape shows a man trying to make the most of a desperate
situation. Manuel Gallegus, CBS News Los Angeles.))
