Serial Murderer who, literally, terrorizes entire communities/cities of women for decades. But still somehow manages to avoid the death penalty. Isn't this something...

Breaking News: He has changed his name to the What An Absolute State Killer due to his awful bodily decline.

People like this should be taken to 30,000' in a plane and thrown out over the sea....Game over!

No deal!! 😡😡

Keep digging; there are more, I'm sure.

Makes sense. He wouldn't have survived the lengthy and costly legal process of apealing the death penalty. Saves a costly trial, saves the victims families of going thru the ordeal of a trial and and has guaranteed convictions.

Just figured I’d point out, he was a cop.

For context since the news seems fit to leave it out- the average time on 'death row' is 16 years. The guy is 74, and not looking to be in great health. Therefore it's likely cheaper/easier to get the plea deal and skip a lengthy trial when he doesn't have too many years left.

Karma sharpens her blade.

They will finish him off in jail. Super Max prison for him!

13 counts? I'm sure they could've pinned him on at least one to get the death penalty.

Either way he’ll die in prison. Nothing they’ll do to him will bring the victims back or heal the hurt done to their families.

Police reform just one aspect of a violent aggressive society. Competiton bittnerness belief money scarce racism various kinds of discrimination sex age ...

How the hell are these people who murder so many not getting the death penalty wtffffff

They couldnt give him the death penalty hes already about to kick the bucket

My dude you’re on the way out anyway, fight the system

How fast until this is a Netflix Doc?
