The clips begin with an unidentified male reporter off-screen interviewing Dennis Whitney. The interview is transcribed in full below:\nReporter (from off-camera): \"How did you get into difficulties on your cross-country trip? What seemed to motivate you to engage in this series of violent acts that ended here in Florida?\"\nDennis Whitney: \"Well when I left California I was quite upset and I just wanted to get away or to just get lost. I was running away from my troubles and I was looking for work and never could find any work, which had me moving around quite a bit. I don't know what caused me to do what I did. I never planned any of it. Sorry for it. I wish there was some way I could undo it.\"\nAt this point the clip zooms out to show the unidentified male reporter sitting next to Whitney and the interview continues.\nReporter: \"Dennis, the relatives of the victims involved in these shootings when questioned yesterday seemed to feel that yesterday's verdict was justified. You mentioned a few minutes ago that you felt in some instances it was. Why do you feel that in your particular case it isn't?\"\nDennis Whitney: \"Well I don't feel I was completely responsible for what I done. I know I done what I done. I've been honest about it all along, but when I left California I was quite upset. I don't think I was quite myself so I don't feel it was--it was like any other case.\"\nSupporting information was taken from the following source: \"Electrocution Due.\" The Atlanta Journal and the Atlanta Constitution 3 July 1960. 17A.
