I was crying," he added.Police said that Broomfield confessed after they noticed inconsistencies in his story. He now claims that he is suffering with numerous personalities that he has named."I am battling demons, like I said. Chuckie, Charlay, Charlie, Charles — all had something going on and whatever and whatnot. Chaz was just chillin', and it's like, I know I'm not a bad guy," he added.Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker believes Broomfield is trying to set up an insanity defense and said that he doesn't buy it. When WOOD confronted Broomfield with the suggestion, he denied it.Broomfield is being held on three charges of premeditated murder and gun charges.
