Who is the worst serial killer

Sounds like you've planned this out pretty much to perfection... apart from the whole advertising it on the internet part!

That picture in your avatar... that's not Fr. Jack... that's actually a picture of you, isn't it!? :P

Fuck! I've been rumbled. *looks in TiR's window and thinks better of it. This time...*

A bite mark was crucial to Bundy being convicted too. He bit one of his victims on the bum quite deeply and a forensic dentist was able to prove that that bite pattern matched Bundy’s teeth.

Funny enough that evidence would be pretty much inadmissible today as it's been proven to be extremely bogus a diagnostic tool. Years back I read a book on him by a woman who is a writer of fiction(IIRC), but knew him quite well in college. At the time she thought he was a lovely guy and not dodgy at all. That's what freaked her out and fascinated her about him.

She noted some of his girlfriends, of which he had a lot, often at the same time, got weirded out, but most didn't. The last one, who he proposed marriage to in court(an oddball bylaw of the state made it legal) and who had known him for years and had gone out with him on and off was completely convinced of his innocence. In the last days before he was plugged into the national grid when he confessed looking to get a stay of execution, she seemed completely stunned by it. She cut all contact(which had been daily. She even worked a way to screw him in prison, on death row, and got up the duff and had his kid) and refused his last phonecall before he got fried*.

He must have been bloody charismatic, as he had a load of girlfriends and even the ones who didn't get the weird off of him, they all noticed he was permanently broke and except for his car, most of his high value items he had stolen.

She also noted that his defence team wanted to fight the bite mark evidence with expert witnesses who they were sure would blow it outa the water, but Bundy being a egotistical fantasist wanted his day in the spotlight as the lawyer his college reckoned he'd never be and represented himself and vetoed most of his defence's advice.

That's another reason why I'm against the death penalty as a general rule, Bundy could have gotten away with it, and more than once. The evidence against him was always slim and circumstantial and most was ruled inadmissible. He was scarily meticulous in his murder. He knew and had actually worked with and advised the police, even writing a police handout on how women should avoid rape("funny" it was apparently really good advice, well I suppose coming from an "expert" like him). So he knew how the police gathered evidence. He never left a fingerprint or hair sample or personal physical evidence in his crimes. Until his very last evil, when he murdered a 12 year old girl and left fibres in his truck.

But yeah he could have walked and a major help for him all the way through was he was a normal, average, young, college educated, charming and pleasant looking straight White bloke. Now I'm most certainly no "SJW" type, but if he had been a working class lad with a built in tan in America I'd bet the farm he'd not have gotten away with for so long. In the early days they pulled in loads of Black and Latino guys, even though the witnesses said he was a White lad.

The other reason I'm agin it is it's in cold blood. By the state. If tonight some skanger comes in my window intent on burglary and stabbing me with a screwdriver and I get Palaeolithic on his arse and beat him to death with a flint handaxe(don't ask, but yep they're among the few weapons I have....), chances are I'll walk free. Now if said skanger broke in and I ran away, but found out who he was and tracked him down and killed him a few months or years later, I'd go down for it. Premeditation is a big influence on the courts and rightly so. That a state reverses that and applies it to it's own citizens, often prejudicially, and has too many innocents being effectively murdered by the state(it's the very definition of unlawful killing), means though my blood says yes, the same blood that feeds my brain says no.



*Given the electric chair has regularly caused almost certainly intense pain and suffering and many of the condemned would burn, even start to smoke. He died too easy that prick. Only one jolt required(they often go for three to be sure) and he was out if it in seconds.
