Teen Killer Who Blamed Acne Drug for Friend's Murder Ripped Apart in Court

Benjamin Bliek had a chance to confront his would-be killer in court this week, after Connor Hilton took a plea deal. Hilton admitted to shooting both Bliek and another friend, Ethan Riley, and later told police he’d been thinking about committing a homicide “for a long time." Attorney Bridgette Williams joins Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber to discuss the strong evidence against Hilton, his strange Accutane defense, and the heartbreaking victim impact statements heard in court.
