Many people wonder what it takes to make a serial killer. Is there something defective in that person that means that they have the ability to commit murder without remorse or somehow enjoy the suffering of others? Do childhood abuse and other mistreatment mean that someone will grow up to be serial killers? The conflicting information about Bundy’s childhood does little to help answer these questions. On the surface, Bundy’s childhood does not appear to have the level of child abuse or neglect that one normally associates with a serial killer.
I have researched a few stories behind the stand your ground law and its amazing how so many people have got away with murder.

LifeNews.com. If you were terminally ill, suffering, and watching your family suffer, would you want your final breath to be sooner rather than later? Many terminally ill patients do, and will take matters into their own hands. When this happens, society calls is suicide.

In 2007 a book titled If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer was released and many people considered this to be O.J.’s confession. Even though it wasn’t a direct confession courts could use the book as a guide to find more compelling evidence to convict him. The only problem with that is they can’t because The Double Jeopardy Rule prevents the courts from ever trying him again for the murder of his wife and her friend. Situations such as this one causes Americans to lose faith in the U.S Court System when they witness a guilty person get away with a crime where there is evidence that proves them guilty.

Francisca Ledesma Mrs. beyone 11/21/11 Essay #3 Cruel and Unusual It's always puzzled me how we can show our outrage at the crime of murder by killing the perpetrator. The murder may have been committed in a fit of passion, or it may have been provoked, or the murderer may have a mental disorder in which normal human empathy is lacking and therefore cannot understand what all the fuss is about. But the executions are carried out in cold blood by people who know full well the horror of what they're doing. The victim's family may be excused the desire to see the murderer killed, and I might feel the same way under those tragic circumstances.
