To start. I have always found Serial Killers fascinating. What makes them do what they do?. I know I am not the only one. This is the place to talk about it. I'll start. Who do you find the most fascinating and why?.

Anyone here know of a serial killer having a separate trial for each victim?
Here's the case that has brought about the question.
I don't have a legal background so any input would be welcomed.
 
I think it's pretty common? Not legal input....but I know Joseph Duncan faced separate trials.

He had a state trial for kidnapping/murder of the older members of the Groene family. (Guilty plea after jury selection)
Then he had a federal trial for the kidnapping/murder of Dylan and the kidnapping/rape of Shasta. (Guilty plea)
Then another state trail for the kidnapping/murder of Anthony Martinez. (Guilty plea)
There was going to be another trial for his murders of two other girls but he was never charged.

Another: 4 separate trials ordered to prosecute accused serial killer Homer Jackson of Portland

Robert Hansen was going to have 17 separate trials, but did a plea deal: Serial Killer Robert Hansen Was Sentenced to 461 Years, Life in Prison

I've seen it. So if there later comes a technically on one case. They have them on others. And for each case they are going to rack up more time.
 
Lucas was fed information and said he killed 600 people. He was only tied to 3. Discredited in at least 28. He was a liar more than anything.
I have not read through this thread just yet but I watched the Netflix series on him and the whole thing was just insane I do believe he killed a few people but the whole 300 people 600 people 260 people whatever number you want to put on it is ridiculous and I actually felt sorry for him because he was obviously really never loved throughout his life and clearly had some brain damage maybe some mild retardation was basically not all there did not get proper attention and then all of a sudden he can walk freely around a jail Texas rangers in the sheriff befriend him basically and of course he was loving all the attention he was not raised properly but my mind was truly blown after watching the docuseries on Netflix because the police basically manipulated him and I am pro law enforcement I know that's not something that happens everyday.... Excuse the lack of punctuation I'm using my voice text lol

I watched that too. By them feeding him information so much damage was done. A milkshake per confession. All the families not knowing. At least 20 cases attributed to other perpetrators. But still are not investigating others. What they did to the "Lemon" family was unforgivable.

And that's what kills me is not just that I felt sorry for him and it was a milkshake per confession but a lot of the members here know that I survived homicide victims and one of them I know who did it long story short there's never going to be a trial there's never going to be a conviction and it kills me. For any family or any survivor to go through the turmoil of being told that someone confessed and they didn't really do it rips open a wound that doesn't heal in the first place

I didn't know that. I'm so sorry. I was only 11 and didn't know her all that well. She lived in New Mexico. My Paternal great Aunt was murdered. 1981.

I can only imagine. I hurt for them. And really angry.

having it in the history of having experienced it or something similar is what brings a lot of us here no need to be sorry just one of life's experiences that I've had to handle in my lifetime. But yes being angry for them sad for them a whole mix of emotions for these families is definitely what I feel. and on the law enforcement ended is not okay for them to feed someone with deficiencies information knowing they'll just confess and confess and confess and confess when they shouldn't be
 
Having someone you love die in a tragic way is one thing. I've had that. But someone dying at the hand of someone else is like nothing else.
It truly is a wound that just never heals. Someone could get the death penalty and actually be executed but it doesn't make it any better you're still without that person you loved whose life was stolen at the hands of a monster
 
This guy was awful just read the article. He probably has more victims that we do not know about
Yes. I knew about that. And the photos they are still trying to identify the Women and girls. They have identified some as being alive. A few deceased. I believe the one they are referring to he had a picture in his possession of her on a motorcycle. She was in a yellow blouse. Shoulder length brown hair and was 5 Mths pregnant.
