New information on Ted Bundy

I heard that he was a Duck fan trying to make Huskies look bad.
-
Semi-related idea. A movie about the University of Idaho killer staring the guy from Silicon Valley.
-
Maybe I'm being obtuse but I'm confused. Are you referencing Marc Andreeson or something like that?
-
I assume it’ll be a comedy
-
I think he means the TV show called Silicon Valley.
-
Oh okay I've never heard of it
-
Silicon Valley might be the best comedy of the past 15 years. It's also a Mike Judge show, who is slightly right of center, so it just tries to be funny and isn't mixing in the typical bullshit which plagues most shows of the past 15 years, and actually makes fun of corporations.
I rewatched and realized the main character looks a lot like the University of Idaho killer and is a guy who is kind of smart but kind of bumbling and would fit really well with that killer who it sounds like was an autistic doofus.
-
I feel just a tinge of fagginess for this, so I hope all will forgive me. I rewatched Band Of Brothers last week so that's my excuse. Anyways, I just realized that David Schwimmer, of Friends fame, would be a good choice to play Kohberger.
-
Ha this is great. Make it flirt with being a dark comedy where he's like a fanboy of great serial killers but just sucks (which kind of sounds like who he was). Also incorporate how he yearns for the days of old when you could kill people and not get immediately caught, like Race yearning for the old days, and then Deboer.
That actor could pull it off perfectly too.
-
One of the few shows that got even better after a main character left.
-
Did you guys hear Bundy went to UW?
-
Huh?
-
It’s true. Scouts honor. ✌️
-
-
He just accepted a plea deal to get out of the death penalty.
-
53 minutes dammit
-
Will be interesting to see if this Kohberger character ever reveals a motive and/or what his plan was or what happened. I think the average person these days would know getting away with killing someone, let alone what the fuck he did would be pretty impossible and he was a grad student studying criminology?
-
I think he is a psychopath that fancied himself a future legendary serial killer. He bungled and got caught on the first try. So, he pleads guilty, avoids the chair, and gets 3 hits and a cot for the rest of his days. He'll never say a word
-
Correct, except that I think he's a guy that will want to talk because of exactly what you said. He's delusional about how clever he is, and getting caught won't make that go away. I bet he wants to share his brilliance with anyone who will listen.
-
Idaho is apparently getting dragged for taking the death penalty away. Was discussing this with my wife, like what about the case/evidence is scaring off the prosecution from trying to give this guy what he deserves. When will any perceived holes in the case get revealed?
-
Maybe they want to avoid the decades of appeals and massive costs that go along with that. Maybe the state has someone on the inside lined up to take him out once he gets to general population.
-
Going through the hassle to bring back firing squads just to not even try to use it against one of the only known serial killers in years that carved up a bunch of college girls on their flagship campus?
-
Nobody gets the death penalty anyway
-
I have a friend who was following the case pretty closely and he thought there was a better chance than most assumed he would get off, if you followed the case closely. I'm not sure exactly why other than they lacked strong evidence.
I'm surprised I haven't seen it come up more, but is it possible this wasn't his first time committing a murder? It's odd he went all the way across the country for school and maybe he was studying criminology to try and see how to defend himself should he get under fire for something he did. Would also think you might try something less grand for your first time and maybe getting away with something prior gave him confidence.
Him working as a security guard at a high school before he moved is super creepy.
-
Saw something that said the cost of prosecuting, convicting, appealing, and actually executing a death row inmate is approximately $10million over the span of the entire case. A guilty plea and life sentences with no parole and zero appeals will cost the state around $2-3 million over his lifetime. Budget conscious state saves $7million???
-
The problem is no one actually gets executed
So yeah a waste of time and money
-
Yes, and put them in general population and maybe another inmate does the dirty work for you. Making someone suffer in a cell for their entire life seems like more of a punishment than killing them.
-
Agreed, which is why it always surprises me when someone fights tooth and nail to get life in prison instead of death.
In a better world, you'd just ask the guilty party which they prefer and give them the opposite.
