Peter Braunstein, the journalist who disguised himself as a firefighter and then sexually assaulted a colleague while holding her captive for 12 hours, gives his first post-conviction, post-sentencing interview to WABC 7's Bill Ritter for Friday night's 20/20. WABC 7 offered this excerpt, which seems to have Braunstein explaining that he didn't intend to do anything criminal:
Peter Braunstein: "I didn't really do anything in rape or murder her ... even the lowest form of criminal comes into something plan."A jury found Braunstein guilty of 14 of 15 charges of assault, sexual abuse, kidnapping, burglary and robbery (they acquitted him of arson) and a judge sentenced Braunstein to 18 years to life.
Bill Ritter: "You just figured out how to get in."
Peter: "Yeah that was really what I reached in my thinking."
Bill: "Of course she didn't know that, she didn't know that you didn't have a plan, she didn't know you weren't going to kill her. She didn't know you weren't going to rape her. She had no idea ... You didn't rape her."
Peter: "Yeah."
Bill: "You didn't hurt her physically? You did touch her."
Peter: "Yeah I touched her."
Bill: "It happened and what did you do?"
Peter: "I think I like fondled her breasts twice."
20/20 airs at 10PM tomorrow.

Is Braunstein on so much Lithium that he can't construct a sentence? -OR- Is this just your typical Gothamist butchering of the English language.
piece of shit
1- i was going to ask the same thing, because"bill" doesn't seem to with it either.
Why does this fucker get to defend himself on TV? He should be in a mental home or prison for the rest of his pathetic life, and no one should care about him. He doesn't even seem remotely interesting.
i agree with #4. What makes him so fucking special?
why are we giving this degenerate any air time?
because sensationalism sells commercial airtime!
3 - maybe they were both sucking on nitrous, Frank Booth style.
is it just me or was Tom Sizemore born to play Braunstein in the made for cable movie of this story.
