Killer's video 'did not add much to police enquiry'
The disturbing manifest and videos of Cho Seung-Hui delivering a speech about rich "brats" and their "hedonistic needs" had some marginal value to police, but did not add much that investigators did not already know, officials said today.
The self-made video and photos of Cho pointing guns as if he were imitating a movie poster were sent to NBC on the morning of the Virginia Tech massacre.
A Postal Service time stamp reads 9.01am - between the two attacks that left 33 people dead.
University officials announced today that Cho's victims would be awarded their degrees posthumously and that other students might have the option of ending their semester immediately.
"You had a hundred billion chances and ways to have avoided today," Cho says in one video.
In another, he says: "This is it. This is where it all ends. What a life it was. Some life."
NBC said the package contained a rambling and often incoherent 23-page written statement, 28 video clips and 43 photos.
"I just hate that a lot of people not used to seeing that type of image had to see it," state police colonel Steve Flaherty said.
