Drunk Driver Confesses To Killing Man In Heartbreaking Warning To The Public

Cordle, 22, drove down the wrong way of a street and struck the 61-year-old's Jeep, according to Regina Garcia Cano of The Associated Press.

He made the video to pass along this message: "I beg you, and I say the word specifically, I'm begging you: Please don't drink and drive. Don't make the excuses that I did."

From the AP:

Prosecutor Ron O'Brien Thursday said Cordle was a suspect in the deadly crash but hadn't been charged. O'Brien said he saw the video Wednesday and downloaded a copy onto a CD as evidence. He said he'll ask a grand jury to indict Cordle for aggravated vehicular homicide with an alcohol specification, a charge that carries a maximum of eight years in prison upon conviction.

O'Brien said Cordle's blood sample from the night of the crash tested positive for alcohol and negative for drugs.

Defense attorney George Breitmayer III said the video "is a strong testament" to Cordle's character. He said Cordle intends to cooperate with prosecutors.

His face starts blurred as he tells the story before becoming clear when he identifies himself. It's incredibly powerful.
