Here is his story on the murder, taken from some webpage interview.
Take from it what you will.----------------------
How did you end up killing someone?
I went one night to buy some pot from a guy and there were four of us in the car. My brother Disciple, Donny Kurkindol, went to the door with a sawed-off shotgun down his shirt to buy dope from this guy named Jerry. So he went inside and pulled the shotgun out and the gun went off and hit Jerry in the shoulder. All of us in the car didn't even see it happen but we heard the shot. Donny came running out, the shotgun had blown up in his hand and he was bleeding. So I told the driver, who was a girl, to get him to the hospital. On the way to the hospital Donny said he shot him in the shoulder. I went, "Oh shit!" So I went back to the house and saw them loading him into the ambulance and he was talking and all that. But at 6 a.m. when my alarm went off I heard on the radio that "Dog" Chapman was being sought for the shotgun slaying massacre of Jerry Oliver last night. The guy died overnight. Also, in Texas during those days, there was no such thing as "accessory before, during, or after the fact." You were as guilty as the guy that did it. In 1979 those laws changed.
How long did you go to jail for?
Four of us were convicted. Two got probation, I got five years, and the triggerman got 10 years. The other three of us didn't even get out of the car. But at the time I was considered just as guilty as the guy who pulled the trigger because I didn't go to the DA and turn him in. They expected me to go to the police and rat on my biker buddy.
