Η ΠΡΩΤΗ ΚΑΤΑΘΕΣΗ ΤΟΥ ΔΟΛΟΦΟΝΟΥ

"Then this morning I went to the bookstore and bought The Catcher in the Rye (σ.σ. O φύλακας στη Σίκαλη του J. D. Salinger ). I'm sure the large part of me is Holden Caulfield, who is the main person in the book. The small part of me must be the Devil.

I went to the building. It's called the Dakota. I stayed there until he came out and asked him to sign my album. At that point my big part won and I wanted to go back to my hotel, but I couldn't. I waited until he came back. He came in a car. Yoko walked past first and I said hello, I didn't want to hurt her.

Then John came and looked at me and printed me. I took the gun from my coat pocket and fired at him. I can't believe I could do that. I just stood there clutching the book. I didn't want to run away. I don't know what happened to the gun. I remember Jose kicking it away. Jose was crying and telling me to please leave. I felt so sorry for Jose. Then the police came and told me to put my hands on the wall and cuffed me."
