"I'm not trying to escape my sentence, . I know I killed Lisa. But I'm not gonna let other people die because of that freak! Look, none of this makes sense. One second I was just angry at Lisa, and the next I was dead set on committing murder! Even I can feel there's something wrong here. The last thing I remember before my change of heart is being accosted at the football field, and that damn pendulum! Going back and forth, back and forth... And then that was it, my mind was set. Even after she was dead, I still knew I'd done the right thing, even though I couldn't explain it even to myself. But in prison, you have time to think. A lot of time. And I know now that I was hypnotized to kill my friend! You have to believe me! The pendulum is the key!"
