Man charged with killing 18 women in Dallas area says he's "very innocent "

A man charged with killing 18 older women in the Dallas area over a two-year span said in a newspaper interview that he is innocent and will be acquitted in the case.

Billy Chemirmir remains in the Dallas County Jail as he awaits an April 25 retrial  after the first jury to hear a murder case against him deadlocked. In November, his murder trial in the death of 81-year-old Lu Thi Harris ended in a mistrial.

During a phone interview from jail last week, Chemirmir denied all the charges against him and told The Dallas Morning News that he is "100% sure I will not go to prison."
