1:22Now Playing"A Nashville inmate has been convicted of murder after he confessed to a brutal 1995 crime while recovering from a seizure attack in prison, telling a guard he had something to get off his chest.
James Washington, 50, was convicted last week of the murder of Joyce Goodener, a 35-year-old Nashville woman who was found dead by firefighters inside an abandoned home 17 years ago. According to authorities, Goodener was stabbed, beaten with a cinder block, rolled in a rug and set on fire.
Washington, who was already in prison serving a 15-year sentence for a 2006 attempted second-degree murder conviction, suffered an attack of seizures in 2009. While laid up in the hospital, he confessed his involvement in the murder of Goodener to one of the few people near him, prison guard James Tomlinson.
Prison officials brought the confession to prosecutors, who moved to indict Washington for the crime."*
Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss the unlikely story of a deathbed confession coming back to haunt a man who survived almost certain death.
