Update: Vance Claims Two Others Attacked Pressly In Taped Interview

One detective says in a written statement, Vance confessed to the following:

-Breaking into Pressly's house to steal a laptop. Vance also said that he had stolen laptops from homes before to sell to a man in Little Rock.

-Saw Pressly lying in bed, became aroused and touched himself. Her dogs started making noise, Pressly woke up and a fight ensued.

-Hitting Pressly at least five times with a hammer like tool that he got from a shed behind her house.

-Used her credit card at a Little Rock gas station after leaving her house.

Vance denies raping Pressly. Officers asked about why his DNA was there and he said again that he didn't rape her but that he was aroused looking at her and that's why his semen was there.

Prosecutors also played a recorded interview with Vance that police say he requested to give. Police say that Vance told a jailer that he wanted to speak to a detective again. The judge is considering whether jurors can hear his alleged confessions.

In the recording made Dec. 10, Curtis Lavelle Vance told police he robbed Pressly's home but that two men with him attacked Pressly.

In this statement, he completely recants his earlier statement that he was alone. He says instead that he was with two other men. He says that a guy named Slick, who was calling the shots, is a career criminal. The other man's name is Kernard.

Vance says that Slick told them that they were going to the Heights because white people don't shut their curtains. Vance says they saw Pressly's flat screen TV and decided to break into her home.

Vance says he was going to move the car and Slick told him he needed gloves, but he didn't have any. So, Vance says that they used his socks as gloves.

That's how Vance explains how his semen got on Pressly. Vance says earlier that day he was with a prostitute and ejaculated into his sock.

Vance says he wasn't there when Pressly was attacked because he was moving the car. He says the other two men attacked her. He says that one had blood on him and the other had a metal pipe.

He told investigators that if he is going to die for this, the others should go down too. Investigators ask him why he thinks he'll die for this; Vance says that he's the father of three and it wasn't right happened to her and he deserves to die for his part of what happened.

Vance appeared before Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza for this pre-trial hearing. The hearing wrapped up for the day and will resume Wednesday morning. Vance is scheduled to stand trial Nov. 2.

Dozens of motions were read. Most of them addressed Vance's ability to get a fair trial and an impartial jury.

Defense lawyers said black men convicted in killings are set for executions at an excessive rate, especially if the victims are white. Piazza rejected their argument Tuesday without comment.

Two other motions that were denied were to ban the media from the trial and another to not allow the media in the courtroom when Vance's testimony is played.

Vance could face either death or life-without-parole if he's convicted in Pressly's slaying. Prosecutors say DNA evidence links Vance to the crime and he has confessed to the slaying three times in interviews with police detectives.

Vance has pleaded not guilty. He's charged with capital murder.
