but instead, leija drew a gun and attempted to rob the man. >> he reached for it, boom, grabbed it, went off two times, one, two, hit him in his chest. by that time, i wasn't thinking. i feel like -- it just -- snapped. i shouldn't have done what i did, but i did and he was done when i shot him two times. when he went down, i stood over him and shot him six times in the face. the aftermath of the scene, it was -- it was bad. and i'm not proud of it in any way. but i know because i was there, i did it. he barely had a face when i was done with him. >> leija has been at the kent county jail since his arrest 26 months earlier. even though he has pled guilty to second-degree murder, he has yet to be sentenced. his judge cannot hand down the sentence until his co-defendant's trial is complete. and that has been dragging on for two years. >> is there anything that you look forward to? >> some fresh air.
