An accused serial killer who was executed for murder in Florida on Thursday used his final words to express support for President Trump after offering comfort to his family and his victims’ families.
An accused serial killer who was executed
LOLWUT
I’m personally happy that The Casanova Killer is now dead. Obviously The Hill didn’t notice The Innocence Project passed this guy right the fuck by.
I thought that was a little strange, but after looking it up, it’s probably a defensible phrasing.
He was only convicted of two murders, while the definition of “serial killer” is three+ murders (plus some other qualifiers). The list of other killings he was suspected of doing, but which were never proven or convicted, would put him in the serial killer category. So it’s fair, in a journalistic sense, to say he was “an accused serial killer.”
A convicted murder, who was also suspected of being a serial killer, …
It’s almost as if clear and concise communication is effective
Hmmm, can you expand on this? Not sure I understand.
Ohhhh, OK that makes sense then. I believe he did do those other murders so yeah, accused serial killer fits.
Kindred spirits.
“What a LOSER. He got CAUGHT. NOTHING like me. Everyone says I’m the BEST of ALL TIME!”
It’s ok to not call them ‘the accused’ in the midst of an execution
I’m not trying to stand up for this guy but people have been wrongfully executed.
He was convicted for one murder so the serial killing is what he is accused of.
of the hill to die on, it has to a be a rapist, and a degenerate like yourself.
Was it Hannibal Lecter?
You seriously think Hannibal Lecter would ever, even under penalty of torture, throw his support behind anyone as stupid as Drumpf? The only thing he respects is perspicacity and intellect. Even if (and oh what a ridiculous “if” this would be) Lecter deigned to believe in Fascism, the thought that he’d spend his last words on some other fucker? Laughable. Lecter’s last words would be him basking in his own superiority, listing off personal information and private details, showing just how much he knew about the people in the execution room, and picking at all of their insecurities, then he’d just smile and wait.
Thank you for the context. Excellent reference.
