At an earlier hearing it was claimed Pearce told a friend: ‘Dead girls can’t talk.’
In the police interview, conducted at LAPD’s Olympic station in Koreatown, Pearce denied giving drugs to the two women he met hours earlier and brought back to his apartment.
“I feel terrible that two girls died,” he said. “They were active drug users and I didn’t give them drugs. I knew they were at a rave.
“I was told there was a very bad batch of fentanyl in the USC (University of Southern California) area. I don’t do that stuff. It’s scary. It’s f**king scary. ‘
However, at the time of the interview, it had not been disclosed that fentanyl was a factor in the women’s deaths, Detective Jonathan Vander Lee told the court. In fact, police were not informed that fentanyl was a factor until April.
“I didn’t think they were dead,” Pearce claimed during his videotaped interview. ‘I thought they were breathing, so I took them to the hospital. I’m not a f**king monster. ‘
Pearce said he had no drugs in the apartment and did not see the women using drugs.
He said he left to go outside to walk his dog for five to 10 minutes and returned. “I didn’t see anything,” he said. ‘I walked my dog and came back.

Judge Eleanor Hunter, in a raised voice at the end of the morning session, reprimanded Pearce for sneaking the case perpetrators from his lawyers.
Lawyer Jeff Voll, sitting next to Pearce, told the court that a number of newspapers had mysteriously gone missing during the previous days’ proceedings and then stealthily returned on Friday morning.
“You can’t take papers from your lawyer,” Judge Hunter. “I don’t know how to put up with you. You are not allowed to take any papers.
‘There are things you are not entitled to. You can’t take anything out of your lawyer’s pile. Are they going to have more problems with you?
“What about getting the jury list and threatening to use it?
Pearce replied: ‘No, your honour.’
The judge referred to the phone call Pearce made from jail when he told his mother he had information about the jurors about their identities and where they worked. Prosecutors alleged he was trying to engineer a mistrial.
Earlier in Friday’s hearing, the court was shown security camera footage of Pearce carrying the limp bodies of Chrissy and Marcela Cabrales-Arzola out the back door of his apartment building on the evening of Nov. 14, 2021.
