Murderer’s Confession Caught on Tape

Florida ı By Catherine Davis

Convicted Murderer

On October 12, 2017, Jeremy Scott took the stand. Scott was agitated the day he testified and displayed frustration that he was being asked to repeat statements he made in the recording. And repeat them he did, as Assistant State Attorney Victoria J. Avalon grilled Scott.

Avalon began her long, grueling line of questioning by goading Scott, asking him, "...you're going to die in prison, whatever the parole commission does, aren't you?"

"You're going to die behind chain link" - VIctoria J. Avalon

Avalon then proceeded to go over this point, showing Scott multiple documents from his murder trial, and then asking him again, "...you're still never getting out?" "And you know that right?", and then "You're going to die behind chain link, right?"

As Avalon proceeded, Scott revealed that prior to the 2010 hearing, Prosecutor John Aguero had an unrecorded meeting with Scott where "[Aguero] told me to stay -- keep the same story I had about the -- about the robbery of the car. And I did."

Apparently, Scott had been under the impression that Aguero could influence an upcoming parole hearing. After saying he lied under oath at the 2010 hearing, Scott said "I was trying -- I was trying to get -- I was trying to get out of prison."

Jeremy Scott's life in prison has been one of loneliness and solitude. His violent tendencies tend to put him on the wrong side of his fellow inmates as well as the officers tasked with supervising him. The only family contact he has maintained, the records show, was his grandmother, who passed away a couple of years ago.

Avalon questions him about her, in a sudden change of pace asking, "your grandmother's dead right?"

Scott responded angrily, "What's - leave her out of this."

Avalon continued, "She's the only that cared about you, wasn't she?" "No one's sending you any money, correct?" "This whole courtroom of people, nobody's here for you, are they?" "You can't even afford to buy deodorant, can you?" "You're a lifer."

At one point Avalon asks, "[Death row] would be a blessing, right?"

As she continued to paint him as a lonely inmate, desperate to get something, anything, out of a confession, Scott continued to insist that he had not been offered anything by Leo Schofield's attorneys.

Scott's grandmother makes another appearance, as Avalon asks about a recorded phone conversation he had with his grandmother in 2010. Avalon asks, "You told your grandmother that the only thing you could think of was that you broke into the car, right?"

After Scott confirmed this was true, Avalon went for the jugular. "You didn't tell your grandmother, the only person who cared about you in the whole world, that you killed that girl, did you?
