Perhaps a change of heart or, more likely, a realization as to the futility of the fight? Also there seems to be a hint of a deal -- that Fritzl will serve his sentence in a psychiatric ward rather than prison.
Fritzl pleads guilty to all charges
VERONIKA OLEKSYN Associated Press ST. POELTEN, Austria — In a stunning turn of events, an Austrian on trial for imprisoning his daughter for 24 years and fathering her seven children pleaded guilty Wednesday to all charges against him — including negligent homicide — after hearing his daughter's heart-wrenching testimony.
Saying he had a change of heart, Josef Fritzl calmly acknowledged his guilt on the third day of a trial that has drawn media attention from around the world for its shocking allegations.
"I declare myself guilty to the charges in the indictment," Mr. Fritzl, 73, told a panel of judges, referring at one point to what he called "my sick behaviour."
