## Transcript

>> His words are direct.

>> This video will act as my confession.

>> His reason stated clearly.

>> But I won't dishonor Vincent's memory by lying about what happened.

>> His mind aware of the consequences.

>> The prosecution everything they need to put me away for a very long time.

>> With his confession, Matthew Cordle has a blunt message for others.

>> I'm begging you, please don't drink and drive.

>> Well, I've never seen one like this before I would tell you that.

>> Ron O'Brien seen a lot in his 17 years as prosecutor but never a taped confession on the internet before charges have ever been filed.

>> It was a compelling piece of video.

>> Because I happen to be--

>> O'Brien watched intently as Cordle describes how he gotten his truck June 22nd after bar hopping drove the wrong way on 670 and hit and killed Vincent Canzani. O'Brien's office had stalled on charges.

>> I was awaiting some toxicology test results that would show the presence or absence of drugs in addition to alcohol.

>> Not necessary now, O'Brien plans to accelerate the case.

>> We can probably go ahead and file charges within the next week.

>> Shockwaves in the DA's office ruled all the way to Cordle's attorney's office.

>> I was unaware they released the video.

>> Did you know he was going to do it?

>> I did not.

>> George Breitmayer made a brief statement over the phone about his client.

>> The video he released is a testament to both his integrity and his character and I know that he intends to fully cooperate throughout the tenancy of all these proceedings.

>> Cordle chose and unusual outlet for his message. A website called, 'because I said I would--' a way for people to make public commitments, the mission of Powell native, Alex Sheen.

>> What he did cannot be reversed or made up for, but he wanted to do something to put good back into this world.

>> Sheen knew the project was controversial and firmly believes Cordle's confession should not be praised rather raise the issue of drinking and driving.

>> I think that this message can impact others like that.
