Agreed Spade. The gratuitous torture Bittaker and Norris indulged in does set them apart from most self-respecting serial killers. There's footage on YouTube of horrified attendees running out of the courtroom during Bittaker's trial, after the audio of their last murder was played. Unfortunately some of the sound escapes from the courtroom as the doors open, so I won't post a link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why he's just a wee bairn on Death Row. If it makes you feel better, Toasty, Sirhan Sirhan -- who murdered Bobby Kennedy in 1968 and landed on death row upon sentencing in 1969 -- has been a staple on Team Gris Gris since it's inception 3 years ago (*spoiler...gonna be 4). Aye, he lives! To answer your question in the cases of Bittaker and Sirhan, they are in mamby pamby liberal California and we wouldn't want to prejudice the darlings by actually carrying out a sentence of death, you know just in case we got one wrong. In Sirhan's case (and I didn't bother with Bittaker's) whoever the Democrat governor was in 1972 'commuted Sirhan's death sentence to life without the hope of parole'. So I'm happy to do my part paying to feed the wee fellow. Well I'm not in Cali, but you get the idea.

Cerberus 302 Posted February 21, 2020 Has Robert Maudsley been mentioned in these parts? (nothing coming up on the search) - quite an interesting doc on him at the moment on Virgin/On demand. He's been in solitary for a scarcely believable 42 years after killing other inmates in the 1970s. Still only 66 but basically being allowed to waste away in a specially built 'tomb' under Wakefield prison. Given that he was horrifically abused as a child, and only killed other abusers, I suspect his case would have a lot of public sympathy if it were better known. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
