Ceparano declines to go into specifics about the crime saying he did NOT want to jeopardize the commonwealth's case against co-defendant, Emmett Cressell, Junior.
Ceparano, who'd been facing the death penalty, recently entered a plea that guaranteed him life in prison without parole after agreeing to testify against Cressell.

Ceparano says he combined moonshine and whisky along with the prescription drugs Valium and Zanax in the hours leading up to the murder...
He remembers the three had been joking around and that he helped Cressell carry Johnson out of his house but says that's where his role in the crime ended.
And, while police say his clothes were covered in the victim's blood-- Ceparano denies dousing Johnson with gasoline or lighting the match-- or later beheading him.

Ceparano has three teenage children and recently became a grandfather-- which he says prompted him to enter a plea agreement.
It's a decision he's now having second thoughts about.
His attorneys say it's understandable but still believe he made the right move and doubt anything can be done to reverse the decision.
