Murderer tells Fort Worth jury: You decide, 'get a rope, or not'

Convicted killer Christopher Chubasco Wilkins took the witness stand in his capital murder trial today, matter-of-factly admitted to three murders and a variety of other crimes, and then told the jury he didn’t care if he lived or died.

Whatever jurors decided -- life in prison without parole or the death penalty -- was fine with him, he said.

"I'm as undecided as you are," he told the jury. "You’ve got a job to do. You tell the judge, 'Get a rope, or not.’ Look, it is no big deal. It is not big deal. Do whatever you do."

At least he has saved us a few tax dollars drawing this out. Now for the jury to do the same, we will be good to go.
