ATLANTA – A man facing a murder charge in the disappearance of a Florida priest said he has “mental problems” and asked for forgiveness as he was led from a courthouse in east Georgia.
In video aired by local TV stations (bit.ly/244d0EU) 28-year-old Steve James Murray said Wednesday that he’s “very sorry” and that if people love the Rev. Rene Wayne Robert, they will forgive him.
Asked by a reporter what happened, Murray replied that he has mental problems and “I lost control of myself.” Another reporter asks Murray specifically what he did, and Murray doesn’t respond as authorities place him inside a waiting car outside the courthouse.
