Spencer has admitted that he had shot Fosler. However, even though he acknowledged his role in the incident, he pleaded not guilty to the murder charges filed against him.

Spencer never denied pulling the trigger. He admitted to fatally shooting Fosler but maintained that he was not guilty of murder.
