DUI Video Confession by Ohio Man Leads to Homicide Charges (VIDEO)

After his story became national news when a videotaped confession posted on YouTube went viral Matthew Cordle, a 22-year-old who killed a man while driving under the influence of alcohol in June, was indicted by a grand jury in Franklin County, Ohio, on charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol on Monday, according to CNN.

Cordle drove the wrong way on I-670 outside of Columbus, Ohio, and struck a jeep driven by 61-year-old Vincent Canzani head on, killing Canzani. Blood tests show that Cordle had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit, .19 percent, at the time of the accident, according to USA Today.

"My name is Matthew Cordle, and on June 22, 2013, I hit and killed Vincent Canzani," Cordle said on the video. "This video will act as my confession. When I get charged, I will plead guilty and take full responsibility for everything I've done to Vincent and his family.... I won't dishonor Vincent's memory by lying about what happened."

In the video Cordle mentions that he was told by attorneys he consulted with that it may be possible to have his blood test thrown out; therefore leaving no evidence that he was intoxicated at the time of the accident, according to USA Today.

Cheryl Oates, Canzani's ex-wife, told CNN that she believes the remorse shown by Cordle is real and not a publicity stunt to attempt to receive a lenient sentence. Oates also believes that Cordle should spend some time in prison for his actions.

"He said 'I made a huge mistake, and I'm going to take what's coming to me,'" Oates said. "You've got to respect him for that. It's gut-wrenching coming from a mother looking at that young boy, and he just doesn't understand the damage that he did."

George Breitmayer III, the attorney representing Cordle, told CNN that his client was not attempting to get a lighter sentence by releasing the confession.

"Despite any speculation of his intentions, the video was meant to raise awareness related to the serious issues surrounding drinking and driving," Breitmayer said. "In addition, (Cordle) hopes his confession will offer the Canzanis some level of closure by avoiding any lengthy, drawn out legal proceedings."
