Did I Say That Out Loud?

Hello there! How're you doing today? Fair to middling? Coffee's sitting in the pot waiting for you right next to the virtual treats...an extra special assortment for you! Hey...we all say things we regret from time to time, right? Well listen to what happened to this guy...

By 2009, James Washington believed he had gotten away with a 1995 murder, but then he had a heart attack, and on his deathbed, in a fit of remorse, he confessed to a confidant. ("I have to get something off my conscience," he told a guard in the jailhouse where he was serving time for a lesser, unrelated offense.)

However, Washington miraculously recovered from the heart attack and tried to take back his confession, but prosecutors in Nashville, Tenn., were unfazed. They used it to augment the sparse evidence from 1995, and in October 2012 the now-healthier Washington was convicted of the murder and sentenced to 51 more years in prison. 

Now that's an oops if I ever heard one, wouldn't you agree? 

See ya, eh!
