going to show it to you. >> all right. >> the faces on most of the bills have been replaced with images of goodell and his cellmate, christopher gonzalez. >> where did you get the money to make the copies? >> out of my discovery, because it's considered part of the evidence. so i took the copies off that and copied the copies. >> i think this one is my favorite. you admitted to me that you're the jack-ass that did this. where is the 200 dollar bill? >> i was trying to find a picture of you. >> goodell continues to bide his time at the bergen county jail as' waits formal sentencing after pleading guilty to murdering viviana tuley, his 21-year-old former girlfriend. viviana's family thought the murder trial would be emotionally devastating. so prosecutors made a deal with goodell in which he would receive no more than 45 years in prison in exchange for a guilty plea. >> who wins? i win. because at the end of the day, my family can come and see me,
guilty to first-degree murder in exchange for a maximum sentence of 45 years. with his final sentencing hearing only days away, he has written an apology but admits he did so in hopes of receiving a shorter sentence. now he questions whether it's even worth reading. >> so for me to expect anything less than that 45, you know what i'm saying, my last words ain't going to be sitting there groveling to somebody's family and this and that. no. [ bleep ] that. i'm going to stand there and i'm just going to stand there. you ain't going to get nothing out of me. just stand there and look. all right, whatever, it's time to go. i might just turn around and apologize to my own family, you know what i mean? >> viviana's family never expected an apology from goodell. they say it wouldn't change the fact that his actions have devastated them. >> so here is her final resting place. >> three years after viviana's death, her older sister, stella tulli, visits her grave site
regularly. adding to the pain is the fact that the murder was committed on their mother's birthday. >> you know, we all have a birthday. that's our own special day, the one day we get to celebrate for ourselves. he even took that away from my mother. not only did he take her youngest daughter, he took the one day she had for herself. one of the first questions i thought that night before bed is did he strangle her from behind and she couldn't fend him off that well or did he do it while looking in her eyes while he took her last breath? and what was she thinking as he was taking the last bit of breath from her? >> neither stella nor the rest of viviana's family knew much about goodell's account of the murder, including the fact that he was facing viviana when he strangled her. at stella's request, our producer provided her with information about this and other revelations made by goodell. but there are other questions that no one could ever answer.
he is purely, instantly, a violent, predatory defender. family could take no more pain. not endure the agony of trial. they said we need this to end. in deference to the family, it ends today. there is no sentence but the sentence of 45 years, the maximum term under the agreement. 45 years, no early release applies. thank you. >> you can rise. i know that you said you were remorseful for what you did, but as i read the presentence investigation report, you don't see viviana as a person.
glasses. all the while i was doing that, i guess not to make her look dead or make her look more alive or -- i don't know. >> goodell eventually pulled over and cut his wrists in an apparent suicide attempt. at some point, he says he stumbled out of the car. >> next thing you know i woke up in a pool of blood with a cop saying, hey, buddy, hey, buddy. i was like, oh, [ bleep ]. i got up and jumped in the car and tried to run the cop over. so he jumped out the way and i started pushing the police cruiser backwards so he couldn't get in the car and chase me. so i started pushing the car. >> goodell then led police on a high-speed chase through residential areas of bergen county. viviana's body was still in the passenger's seat. >> i was doing like 70 on main street. cars were jumping on the sidewalk. i went across the highway.

>> in the courtroom are viviana's family members, including her mother and older sister, stella tulli. >> this is the matter of the state of new jersey versus david goodell. >> goodell has made a deal for no more than 45 years in prison. but his public defender will make the case for less time. >> judge, i'm sure there are a lot of people in this courtroom who consider mr. goodell to be the personification of evil, but i'm going to ask the court to consider the other side of mr. goodell. because when i look at this presentence report, i see a person who's never really had a chance in life. both of his parents were addicts, he didn't have the support and love and nurturing that everyone needs growing up. i just ask that your honor consider these factors. and impose less than the maximum sentence. at least give him some chance, some hope that would help him
