YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA shocked courtroom heard Derek Rosa tell police he killed his mother in her sleep. After hearing the teen's taped confession, Miami Dade Circuit Judge Richard Hersch rejects a defense motion to move Rosa out of the adult jail and into a juvenile facility. The defense says it is unconstitutional to keep Rosa in an adult cell, claiming he is only allowed outside the cell for 20 hours a week. The judge rejected the motion and ordered Rosa to be held in the Miami-Dade Metro West Detention Center until his unscheduled trial begins.
Reportedly, the night Derek Rosa attacks his mother, he makes several Google searches including: “What is the best place to stab someone?” "Is a small knife good for killing?” “Is it easier to kill someone with a small knife?” “Can a knife cut through bone?” and a request for a diagram of the carotid artery.
In his taped police interview, Derek Rosa directly answers all of the investigator's questions until he's asked "Why?" Rosa asks if he can use the restroom before answering. When he returns and the officer repeats the question, Rosa asks for a lawyer and stops the interview before we learn his motive.
