Raymond Franklin, 33, was originally convicted in 2002 and sentenced to 60 years in prison for attempted murder and escape on November 11, 1999.
Several officers from the state Department of Corrections hovered around a shackled Franklin -- whom a judge once called "one of the most dangerous men I have ever come across" -- during Tuesday's court proceeding in Hackensack.
Answering questions from defense lawyer Francis Meehan, Franklin admitted that he grabbed a corrections officer in a chokehold during his failed escape.
"I attempted to kill him, make him stop moving" said Franklin, a black belt in karate who once taught martial arts at Ramapo College in Mahwah.
