TRENTON, N.J. (AP) ? At his sentencing hearings in 2006, serial killer nurse Charles Cullen didn't explain why he killed at least 29 hospital and nursing home patients in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
He had told investigators they were mercy killings. But a prosecutor said Cullen was driven by a compulsion to kill and was no "angel of death."
In an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" that had been scheduled to air Sunday, Cullen at first says he thought he was helping people by ending their suffering. Many of the victims of his lethal drug overdoses were old or gravely ill.
But Cullen tells a different story when reminded some victims weren't close to death. He says there was "no justification" and felt "overwhelmed at the time."
CBS announced Friday afternoon that the segment will be held for at least a week due to ongoing coverage of the Boston Marathon explosions.
