It takes some "psychopathic charm" to stand up there and fabricate a believable lie about a chip on your tooth to escape a murder charge. This guy really was a trip. 🙄
Nowadays, bitemark evidence is considered "bunk" science. Not to say that that bitemark didn't match, but it wouldn't be admissible in court today due to how the skin contorts. Even so, Bundy was still guilty as sin even without advancements in DNA testing (if it was around, then he would've been guilty in a millisecond). The victims' hair fibers were found in his car, Bundy just "happened" to be in those states at the exact same time those women were abducted and murdered, the killer's MO was the exact same way, and his narcissism and sociopathic nature lead to his downfall.
Well they had to consider him innocent until the end of the trial, but because he told the press things the judge specifically told him not to they kept him in a holding cell during the all the intermissions.
If you think that was bad you should see Ted's attorney Margaret Good getting all close to Ted and smiling with him. I think she had some feelings for him at the time.
i mean if they thought he was innocent? of course you wouldn't smile at him if you knew he killed 30+ women (nowadays), but in that year, a lot of people were not sure if he's really the killer.
Bitemark evidence by today's standards is incredibly unreliable. If it was shown in a court of law today it would be thrown out. Nonetheless glad they found something to put this monster away for good.
If the tooth doesn't fit you must acquit! Wrong trial lol! To be honest, even if Bundy had Johnnie Cochran with his catchy soundbites that jury would have found him guilty. There was race card for him to play either! 😂
@Kalanioccc .....He was hardly the genius the media made him out to be. Had he signed the agreement he'd still be alive today reliving his crimes every night in his cell before drifting off to sleep.
@@JackTheSkunk I couldn't agree more. If he just stayed in that cell in Colorado he probably would have been acquitted and even if convicted, because of the judge's ruling, the death penalty in that state was off the table. It took another twenty years for that state to execute anybody, and Colorado doesn't have the death penalty anymore. And then he gets the opportunity to plead guilty in Florida (which many one time killers who do far less than what he did NEVER got) fires his attorneys and basically puts himself in Old Sparky. And I am a capital punishment OPPONENT saying this. He did it to himself, and his intelligence (as with his attractiveness) is often overdramatized and overplayed. What cannot be overdramatized is what an attention (blank) he was, and I think for this scoundrel, being forgotten was worse than a dozen rides in Old Sparky.
