Do. Not. Ever. Say. Anything.
Illegal alien Sebastian Zapeta-Calil stands accused of burning New Jersey native Debrina Kawam, 61, alive on a New York City subway.
The Guatemalan native pleaded not guilty to murder and arson charges.
The New York Post reported that Zapeta-Calil did not keep his mouth shut when investigators showed him a video of the crime:
The illegal immigrant accused of torching a woman to death on a Brooklyn subway train was so blacked-out drunk that he was shocked when cops showed him video of the appalling attack, newly released court records reveal.“Oh damn, that’s me!” Guatemalan native Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, 33, allegedly told NYPD detectives when he was shown footage of the Dec. 22 attack at a Brooklyn F train station.“No, the truth is I don’t remember,” he said. “Oh my goodness!”Zapeta-Calil looked disgusted at the images, wiping his eyes and putting his head down on a table, according to a transcript of the interview unsealed in Brooklyn Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Zapeta-Calil also allegedly told law enforcement, “Sometimes when I drink and erase the memory, and I don’t know, right?”
He didn’t stop: “When I wake up, I’m already in the house, already sleeping. I wake up when I’m already home, or there are times when I wake up and I’m already at the train station. I was drunk. I drink in the afternoons.”
Zapeta-Calil supposedly apologized, saying, “I didn’t mean to. But I really don’t know. I don’t know what happened, but I’m very sorry for that woman.”
Defense attorneys! Please control your client, for crying out loud.
The filing provided more details of the crime:
He told Brooklyn detectives he worked as a roofer with “a Mexican,” and got off work and made a beeline for a Queens bar, where he drank beer and tequila — then picked up some beer and kept drinking, according to a transcript of the interview.After a night of boozing it up, Zapeta-Calil told cops, he got on the F train early on the morning of the attack.“Then, being about 8 or 9 in the morning, I stayed on 18th Avenue,” he allegedly said. “I really don’t remember how I got on this F train. When I reacted, I was already on it. When I woke up, I was already on the F train.”The migrant allegedly got off at the Stillwell Avenue-Coney Island station and lit Kawan on fire while she slept, and was picked up by police later in the day near Columbus Circle.
