Teen killer (John Katehis) says he only 'jabbed' WABC George Weber Murder case video)

George Weber worked for ABC for many years. I had no idea he was freaky-deaky picking up teen-age boys for sex and drug romps.

Sooner or later when you play with fire, you get burned.

The New York Post reports that the sword-collecting teenager accused of murdering a WABC Radio newsman claimed he only jabbed him once in the neck, although evidence shows he was stabbed eight times, according to testimony today.

An interview featuring an unrepentant John Katehis, 18, was played for jurors today in Brooklyn Supreme Court as prosecutors put forth more evidence that he murdered veteran newsman George Weber inside his Brooklyn Heights apartment last year.

Katehis winked for the camera even before prosecutors began the interview on March 25, 2009, just days after he was arrested for stabbing Weber.

"The knife just goes and jabs him in the neck," Katehis said on the 40-minute interview. "We're fighting over the blade and it jabbed him in the neck."

In the video, Katehis insists he he accidentally jabbed Weber once in the neck -- although a doctor testified today that the newsman had been stabbed eight times in the neck, including five other cuts.
