Last week, Matthew Cordle entered a plea of not guilty after confessing to drunk driving in a video for nonprofit startup Because I Said I Would. He drove the wrong way down a street and struck 61-year-old Vincent Canzani's Jeep, killing him, according to the Associated Press.
Cordle has now changed his plea to guilty, which was apparently his plan all along. He said that he entered a rehab program after the crash.
He initially blindsided the judge with the not guilty plea. Cordle apparently wanted the case reassigned to a trial judge, at which point he would plead guilty.
