On Thursday, jurors viewed footage of Javier Bolden boasting to a cellmate about killing two University of Southern California students. 

The video, taken by a police informant, shows Bolden bragging about killing Ming Qu and Ying Wu, engineering students at USC. He also mentions how he originally wanted to steal the BMW Qu and Wu were in but his friend, Bryan Barnes, opened fire when he found the doors locked. 

"Boom, boom, and then that was it," he said.

Barnes was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. Bolden is currently awaiting sentencing.
