A 52-year-old Australian man who admitted, and then denied, pushing an American off a cliff because he was gay in 1988 has pleaded guilty—again—to the crime.shocked his lawyers in early 2022 by pleading guilty in the death of then 27-year-old Scott Johnson after a reward by one of Johnson’s relatives led to his arrest. He retracted the plea, but the judge went on to sentence him before an appellate court intervened.
Johnson’s death was first ruled a suicide, but pushback from his family and friends led to a more thorough investigation that led to White’s arrest in 2020. When White was arraigned in 2022, he pleaded guilty to murder during a pre-trial hearing, and 20 minutes later attempted to change his plea, citing “confusion,” which was not accepted.
“The police work that continued during the appeal and after the appeal to get that one last piece of evidence that brought him to the table ... so that we could negotiate this, I’m incredibly thankful,” heAustralia. “Reading the black and white of his confession, in which he states that he threw the first punch, which I imagine was the only punch and my brother must have been very close to the cliff ... makes me pretty angry.
