What the judge said probably hit harder than those calling him a monster. Ted thought he was a genius mastermind, and being told that he had a gift, yet threw it away really says a lot.
i dont think the judge was praising him, its just sad like he said.. such a smart guy having to result in such horrible, horrible acts , could've been someone decent in society .. Total human waste
Swiit Lime He praised his ability in the courtroom. He told him he could’ve been a good lawyer if he didn’t waste his talents for evil shit. That’s psychological torture if I ever saw it.
I don’t think bundy gave two craps what this judge ever had to say. He didn’t care about anything. If a human being is going around from state to state raping, killing women and beheading children, trust me.. they do not care about one. Single. Thing. He was a monster in the highest degree. Devil had the time of his life using this monster of a half human.
@@Qwerty-ex2id sociopaths are still capable of feeling remorse and guilt so they have empathy. psychopaths doesnt feel any of those. thats why he is a psychopath. he is also manipulative and often not showinh his true emotions. ted bundy is a text book example of what a psychopath is like
The judge is praising him for his intelligence and saying that it's a waste of good intelligence but unfortunately he used it in the wrong way. The judge sentenced him the death penalty. What more do you want?
Rob F he didn’t praise him. He said he’s smart and therefore literally “a total waste of humanity”. Ted had to go back to his cell and contemplate those words.. that he had potential that he himself wasted.. every night for a decade after that. The judge didn’t appeal to his sense of remorse to the people that he hurt. That was pointless. He appealed to his sense of remorse to hurting himself, the only one he cared about. And I bet its the most painful thing anyone psychologically could do. That was verbal slaughter.
Yeah but him saying he has no animosity towards Ted makes absolutely no sense to me. He killed a 12 year old girl and you WOULDN’T kick him in the throat given the opportunity? I know he sentenced him to death, but saying he had no animosity toward Bundy was weird and a little uncalled for considering the victims parents heard him say that.
The judge literally sentenced him to death and y’all are mad that he was polite. It’s an important precedent to set that you, especially as a judge, can see the good in people and yet still carry out what justice must be done. I don’t want my judges to be sentencing people to death out of spite and anger. Seriously, let justice be done without hatred but with care. The court is for good, not revenge.
@ Linkinbirds617. Get the fuck outta here with that bull shit. Judges do that shit all the time.. Where have you been. Bundy wansn't nice. Bundy wasn't smart, He was a cold blooded murder.....period..... I doubt you would be saying that if it were a member of your family that he killed. Damn! you're stupid....
@@brittanyperrodin7241 It is not about him being a good person. He could have been a good lawyer if he had not been a serial killer. That is what the judge meant in order to make him feel regret before his death. He had actually confessed a lot of his crimes before he died, so maybe somehow these words made him acknowledge a little what he had done .
What was Ted Bundy’s hidden, dark side? Buy this book at Amazon books for a new look at Ted Bundy: TED BUNDY’S SEX LIFE: My Prison Interviews with The Serial-Sex Killer by Dr. Paul Dawson.
It is utterly chilling that a Judge would somehow find compliments for a mass murdering brutal rapist and psychopath. Goes to show that Psychopaths can fool literally anyone. He gave him the death penalty but seemed to feel some kind of weird guilt that he had passed the sentence at the end.
He was also objectively fooled by the very same murderous psychopath that had charmed women in a similar manner, he represented himself for his own sick gratification nothing more, not because he could argue against cold hard evidence and charm a Judge. If that Judge had been a pretty woman in another situation on a highway hitching a lift Bundy would've picked her up charmed her, strangled her ,raped her anally and then mutilated her body like the other victims. The Judge was irrational not objective, his irrational feelings of guilt are blindly obvious but not his fault since Bundy was a master at charming people.
I really do not think the words of the judge were totally praiseworthy of Bundy. A little too chummy, sure; however, I think what he was trying to say if he was not a total psychopath he would be an upstanding citizen and that it was sad that he was such a piece of garbage.
Your assessment is more accurate. There's other footage where the judge admonishes him. He also comforts the mother of a nervous witness. He heard all the horrors first hand, probably felt some sympathy for Bundy's mother, and probably just felt what a waste. He wasn't fooled by anyone's "charm".
The "partner" comment and saying "I would of loved to have you practice in my courtroom" were a little too much for someone who had raped and murdered so many young women, including a 12 year old girl. I personally would of said: I'm glad you will no longer be living among us. Then left it at that.
@@dennydarkko These things take years and even decades, not hours, after conviction and sentencing. He was sentenced in 1979 and wasn't executed until 1989.
@@gonzaloooA The only thing that happens here. is that all the only ones who are bothered by people who disagree with the judge are all those who don't care about all the lives of the women he took away.
Yeah, like the old lady juror who was napping /sleeping through the trial..nice ! Hahaha let's hope you get the same kind of juror deciding your fate if ever you find yourself fighting for your life =0) cheers !
defending a serial killer nice. I hope when you do come across someone as twisted as bundy you snap out of it. Because he sure as hell is going to decide your fate when you are unconscious/sleeping in a heartbeat
sounds like since you realized he's a psychopath you also went in denial about his intelligence too. this is why bundy got away, he was logical while you people are emotional animals.
Juries are usually even dumber and easier fooled by feelings than someone who actually knows the law. The jury can easily be fooled by feelings, which can have positive or negative effects.
@@cm6995 psychopaths have feelings, except empathy to other people. Do you think they can't feel angry, or upset? They do, when it's about them. They're not robots.
He did not appear to pay any attention to what the judge said and passed him by on his way out of the room without any visible reaction. He was a much more primitive character than a mere narcissist. A PSYCHOPATH!
What Judge Cowart said to Ted Bundy is without question the most relevant, necessary, and well-thought out statement I have ever seen a judge say to a criminal defendant (I am a law student and I have read plenty of these statements). What he said needed to be said to Ted: He had such great potential to make a great attorney or politician, and he peed that opportunity down his leg and instead used his potential to kill innocent women and cause irreparable damage to numerous families.
What a disgrace that the judge was so nice to that animal. The judge practically spitted on the faces of the family members of the victims. It shows that people like quote "good looking people" no matter what the criminal does.
I'm so glad I found this intelligent comment amongst a sea of idiots wishing harm upon the judge or calling him an idiot for "praising a murderous criminal".
What are you even saying? "People like good looking people no matter what the criminal does?" How is that relevant with what the judge said. Many people - mostly women - loved Bundy due to his good looks but I doubt the judge was one of them. Bundy was a smart, educated man who had a bright future had he not turned to murder and necrophilia.
Lots of politicians are rapists and murders like Ted Bundy. Just look at Hilary Clinton Obama and Podesta. Ted Bundy would of fit in well with them and would never gotten caught if he became a politician before murdering women first. Just look at the coverup of #pizzagate in D.C Washington. There are a lot of Teds in government
that wasnt the kimberley leech court case that was the chi omega girls court case when the judge said that to him he deserved what he got for all the women he killed not just the 3 he was convicted of killing and the ones he admmitted to killing but was never taken to court for. or all the ones who have never been found.
i thought it was the 12 yr old girl .well any rate, the whole point is watching this and I just thought it was weird calling a convicted murderer ,,"partner" no matter the context. that is all i was commenting on. . Ted Bundy would take his dead victims to the woods line them up and have sex with them until they were decaying too much to do so. I cant think of ANY setting on this planet where i would call a guy partner after that.....can you imagine if your out in the woods and you stumbled upon that scene......jesus...there are a lot of good people in the world,,,but as a collective whole, , the human race is a piece of shit. we have such a short time on this planet and the shit we do, worry about, act upon, think about, watch, control, lie about just amazes me. we seem to be getting meaner too, which is pretty scary as if things are bad enough...oh well, i just saw kiss for the 16 time....i have to say that was a bright spot for this year...LOL
“You went another way partner” and then that nod in his head. He verbally destroyed him. If you can’t see and hear that you really don’t master the language.
It’s funny how people In these comments are taking the judges words right over their heads and not even thinking about what he is saying to Ted, he is giving him these praises because he wants ted to know just how much he wasted of himself, Ted was a really smart person, and was incredibly charming would have made an amazing politician or lawyer and he wasted all of his potential on the heinous things he did, what the judge did was shame Ted by giving him a perspective of the man he could have been.
When Ted Bundy got the death penalty: “I won't ask for mercy. In fact... I find it absurd to ask for mercy for something that I did not do. I'm not the one responsible for these horrific acts. Although the verdict found in part that these crimes had been committed, it erred in finding who committed them. As a consequence, I do not accept the sentence because it is not a sentence of me. It is a sentence of someone else who is not standing here today.” Translation: “That wasn’t me, that was Patricia.”
The words of the judge haunted Bundy as he waited for his execution. It reminded Bundy of what could have been, which is a terrible thing to live with. Many ppl here are saying the judge was charmed by Bundy or that he shouldn’t have complimented him. The words weren’t complimentary. They just reminded Ted that he had potential to be something but that he never achieved it.
After all the monstrous acts, I hope there was something that rattled that bastard to his very core as he sat on death row awaiting his fate. He was a fucked up waste of a human being. He was “so charming” until he was alone with those women and then attacked them without warning.
The judges final words were crippling, not polite. His decision and dialogue explained how Bundy not only failed at becoming a decent lawyer, but also as the elusive murderer he always was. Bundy cared only for his escape, the judge understood that and almost seemed to hint that he was a better lawyer than killer. The biggest slap in your face to Bundy I truly believe the judge attacked Bundy where it hurt, right in his deep murderous heart
Oh please! He wasn't even a lawyer. He didn't even attend his classes in law school. He dropped out after the first year because he was hunting UNDERAGE girls in Utah.And who do you think paid his college tuition? His gf Liz Kendall.
@@missk8715 Nah, look at it this way. If he called Ted a monster well then cool, Ted already knew that. However, saying he basically wasted his whole life and could have done more with his life, that would kill you. He would now be thinking, all this could've been avoided and his life could've been a whole lot better.
The judge sounded like a parent lecturing his child over his disappointment over how he turned out. In my eyes that’s one of the worst feelings to have leaving a courtroom. Judges also are to remain emotionless as possible over matters. What he said was wise and respectful as it should be when upholding a position of power like that
They should of kept him alive he could of helped with countless murder cases, who better than ted 2 catch other teds? He helped them catch 1 before he died
Guys the judge wasn’t ‘nice’ to Bundy. He knew he was a psychopath but what he meant to say is that Bundy would have been a good guy if he wasn’t a freaking serial killer, because he was so bright. I actually liked what the judge said.
he was wWAYYYYYY to nice . he could have said you are smart. you chose a wrong path. good luck and that's it. but noooo. he went on and on " you are a fine mine, take care i really mean that... you could have been a fine lawyer , hell i would have liked to work with you. da fuk!??? that's 1 compliment to many. judge was trash
I feel like the most chilling part of this video was when Judge Cowart says, "you went another way, partner," implying that Bundy could've been very successful and had a brilliant future instead of becoming one of the most infamous serial killers of all time.
@@thevampire6065 why did he deserve to live when his victims died? Just for you information he wasn’t happy he dreaded every minute he was on death row
It wasn’t a good performance he turned down a plea deal that would have saved his life turned his own trial into a media farce by getting himself onto his own legal council and turned the jury and his own defence against him with his antics. He literally got himself the death penalty with his antics, the prosecution literally offered him a plea deal because they didn’t think they had enough evidence for a conviction
It wasn't that the judge was caught up in Bundy's charms. It was quite to the contrary. He was pointing out to Bundy how dramatically different his life could have turned out, had he chosen to practice law and live within the confines of the law. The judge chose to state this out of compassion and sorrow, from one human being to another. Issuing a death sentence is no easy matter, no matter how much someone deserves it. And at the end of the day, it didn't change the fact that the judge felt that weight upon his shoulders, as I am sure he did many others. Don't misunderstand me, Bundy deserved the sentence that he was given. I'm only saying that judges are human, too. They have the ability to express compassion, even to the most heinous of offenders. I believe the moment that we cease to show compassion, our effectiveness as law enforcement officers, attorneys, and others courtroom actors will preclude us from being interested in the truth or doing what is right any longer. Many call Bundy a "monster", and on some levels, he was. However, at the end of the day, he was just a man, who was caught and arrested by men, tired by men, and sentenced to death by a man.
@@deadcarnivora8648 Unfortunately, human beings are capable of wicked and evil things. There's nothing about them that makes murderers, rapists, and other horrible monsters any less human. They may be monsters lacking any and all human compassion and love but they retain our malice and hate.
A local actor I know who's a retired attorney told me he was in law school in the state of Utah where Bundy was imprisoned. He told me as he was touring the facility, he saw Ted heading to court with his team of lawyers. Ted looked at my friend and said to his lawyers, "See that guy over there? He's a law student. I can smell him a mile a way." Then gave him an evil glare. My actor friend said "That comment sent chills down my spine."
Psychopaths are often very good at reading people, since they spend their lives mimicking human emotions. Either that, or it was simply a lucky guess. Ted liked being right, and he also liked getting a rise out of people.
Even though the judges words were "kind", I believe them to be the final nail in Bundy's coffin. Imagine how that must have made Ted feel hearing the judge say that, thinking about what could have been had he not done what he did. If I were Bundy, those words would eat me alive. I would probably think about them everyday.
On one hand they are remembered for who they were murdered by on the other they would of disappeared into obscurity and never have been known if they hadnt
@@NikephorosCaesar Who cares if people remember you if you're dead? Like you're not there to even appreciate it so why would that even matter. But, if it did matter. I've watched multiple Ted Bundy Documentaries and movies but I can't name one of his victim's names off the top of my head. I'm sure most people can't. Experts believe Ted killed way over 30 women, and Ted himself said he's killed in the triple digits. So there are probably a lot of dead women who suffered horribly that don't even get this said 'remembrance' you speak of.
WTF is the judge praising this guy for? "Bright young man"? The guy was a classic psychopath, and like all psychopaths he considered himself invincible. Sure, he was probably intelligent. But he had zero morality and empathy for any of his victims. Like other sociopaths, he believed himself totally superior to the rest us "insects". He regarded himself as too smart to get caught. But then he got caught, and whined that "the Devil and Playboy magazine made me do it" (as he claimed in an infamous interview with the Rev. Dobson).
+jack johnson you're misunderstanding. in the judges same diction, hitler would also be a bright person. bright meant talented in the judge's context, hence why he called it a waste
+Thomas Deakin Frustrating isn't it Thomas, why do they keep changing the names of things? I actually think Psychopath describes the condition far better, in that it is a disease of the psyche. I mean, socio says something about his attitude to society generally, in that he lives outside of the norm and does his own thing regardless of the impact it will have on other's lives. However, the reason for his doing that lies in the genetic make up combined with the environmental conditioning. So, to my mind, Psychopath says it better in that it admits of a genetic origin.
the fuck are you idiots talking about? He flunked out of law school. Ted chose to represent himself in court and got himself that death penalty by taking it to trial and wasting everyone's time. He's fucking stupid, there was countless pieces of evidence against him and all he did was make an act out of it.
Ocho yeah fucking asshole he almost won a seemingly impossible case to win Also, I assume he flunked out of law school to pursue murder (sadly), I’m sure if he chose not to do that, he could’ve done good things as a politician, attorney, or lawyer.
y’all hate to admit that he was charming and smart and lose your shit anytime someone mentions it. he represented himself in court and barely lost an impossible case. not to mention how he charmed his way into basically becoming a celebrity. he was a horrible person but it’s not fair or accurate to pretend that’s all he was.
I hated that they made that movie, it sucked like shit. You obviously didn't read one damn thing on the real story of Bundy to say it was "epic". take your millennial coldhearted bullshit to tiktok
The way the judge had those nice parting words for Ted Bundy makes Judge Cowart seem like the type of fella you can sit down and drink a beer and smoke a cigar while you are fishing with him A real down to earth guy RIP JUDGE I DIDN'T KNOW YOU PERSONALLY BUT YOU SEEM LIKE YOU WAS A GOOD ONE
When I read about Ted Bundy and I saw what he looked like I thought the same thing, or something similar anyway, to what the judge said. I thought to myself, "my God, this guy is really nice looking, he's extremely intelligent and he could have been _anything_!" What in the hell drove him to be a monster? The only thing I can think of is that he was born one.
The effects of pornography watching addiction. He said this at the last interview...Bundy's zodiac is Sagittarius, his element is fire. Men whose element is fire like him and me are very attracted to practice anything they love. So, if a man like him is addicted to something, unfortunately it will affects him badly. So, to avoid this, follow the right path and you should have manners. Women are created to not be treated as objects or sexual materials. Any religion respects women as a human not a material for men's lust.
He said that?? That is probably apon one of his lies. What does Zodiac signs have to do with anything? Sagittarius is my astrological sign and I ain't interested in committing crimes against guys? And i'm pretty sure many men don't get obssessed with raping women! wtf r u ranting about?
Elisa Mastromarino Western zodiacs are not concerned with the future and what will happen, they put persons who are born on a specific date into a category which defines their character and their interests. Nothing more. I am not interested in Chinese zodiacs because my interests only is to know the character of the person I deal with. Sagittarius man is not like Scorpio man as interests and behaviors. Nothin' more. And I don't like wasting my time in other zodiacs talking because I don't believe in it. They knows nothin' about the future. I hope you get it. Western zodiacs are concerned with the character. I don't care about anything more than this. And you have the freedom to believe or not to believe like the religious believes.
Have a nice time! But, what do you base your belief system on? Do you believe that the Western zodiac is true, at least in part, because of scientific reasoning or just from your experience? Because I have noticed the Chinese Zodiac... and I think there can be some interest in what year we were born as well. As you probably know, the Chinese zodiac goes by the year you were born and follows every 7 years. For example, I was born in a certain year of the rabbit. My dad was also born in the year of the rabbit of course 35 years before me, but none the less we were born in the year of the rabbit. I am his only child that was born in the year of the rabbit under the Chinese zodiac and I am also the only child that ended up looking like him and also acting like him. I think it's probably coincidence but it makes me wonder if the moon, the tides, the Sun Etc don't actually play a Part in how we are or how we become. The Earth is 70% water and the human body is 60% water. Scientifically speaking, is it not possible that one effects the other?
Elisa Mastromarino Thank you, your points are very good. Actually I am not interested in Chinese zodiacs because my target is to know how to deal with the other people who are different from you and nothin' more. Western zodiacs are only concerned with general behavior in life, your targets, your interests, your major merits and demerits only and nothin' more. This is according to your birthday. The second part is the representative system, how you receive the information, visual imagination or audio or feeling. These are three systems and you have one of them as the dominant. If you are visual, you only concerned with the global image of somethin' not with the details of it. If you are audio, you are sensitive to sounds and you like talking to people and asking them a lot. If you are a feeler, you are concerned with the feelings towards somethin' and the details of it. The 3rd part is the type of your character, leader, thinker, affectionate and expressive. Everybody have 3 ..a zodiac, a representative system and a character type. This affects your behavior by your own choice not by the coincident events or the moon and the sun. I only know that the sun is for giving us the solar power, the moon for another function,......You decide, you choose your way...you are free...I have personal experience in these kinda situations, I had problems with visual people because I am feeler, and with the zodiacs that are not compatible with me specially Libra because our interests are completely different and so on. So, I have decided to read about zodiacs and the human development science. That's it ! :D please if it is possible, tell me your birthday date and your father to tell you my little opinion :). Thanks
"Take care of yourself. You would've been a great lawyer." WTH?!! Bundy screwed up his own case by representing himself and throwing tantrums. Most of his cases had minimal evidence and would've been thrown out, but Bundy didn't take advice of counsel and went his own way. I loved that because now he's dead!!!
+sightgags They usually say "And may God have mercy on your soul." after a criminal is sentenced to death. So maybe this judge didn't want any mercy for Bundy.
+lonelyheroine Yep, the judge died of a heart attack before Bundy died. I think he had no choice under the law but to hand down the death sentence. I think, despite the horrific crimes Bundy committed this decision lay heavy on the heart of the judge. He could see the tragedy of Bundy himself. The waste of a fine young man. I don't believe in the death penalty. Had Bundy lived, he would have been an old man by now. He was born in 1946 and today would have been 69 this coming November. Because he died young and still handsome, he has erroneously become a poster boy for serial murder. Had he been placed in a secure psychiatric institution, where he could have contributed a great deal to the study of serial killers like himself, the world would have gained much. As it is, they lost a great deal in murdering Bundy. There is simply no excuse for this. There are many ways he could have been stopped from running, they just never bothered to try any of them. Drug control, even castration would I believe have been sanctioned by Bundy if he had the choice. Furthermore, electronic devices to monitor his whereabouts at any time could have been implanted in him. All of these things would have made the death sentence unnecessary. Bundy was definitely insane, even if the law did not categorize him as such. The proper place for an insane person is in a psychiatric institution, not a concrete cell in solitary confinement.
+Pamela Valemont `"the waste of a fine young man! !?.........you seem to be a little blinded by the "handsome young poster boy" yourself.......do you know how many killers have escaped from prison or psychiatric hospitals, or god forbid, been parolled and gone out to kill again and again and again`? there are many victims of such sadists who became victims after this person was considered to be "healed" by therapy, or served their time in prison and were then set free to walk among us again.........also, i personally do not consider the death penalty to be murder, firstly there was NO doubt whatsoever that he commited these crimes, and in my opinion if you take someone elses life, and in such a horrific way then you have forfeited the right to your own, this is not revenge, but simply justice carried out by the state.......i am not religious, but even the Bible says "an eye for an eye" !......its easy to have sympathy for these people and state that the death penalty is wrong, but i think if someone you love was ever a victim or someone like this you would see things a little differently.
jim lennon I wouldn't call it bizarre, because the judge was quite sincere when he said that; if you listen to what the judge had to say after he imposed the sentence of death by electrocution, Judge Cowart said "It's a tragedy to see such a total waste of humanity that I've experienced in this courtroom; you're a bright young man, you would have made a good lawyer, and I would have loved to have you practice in front of me, but you went another way, partner. Take care of yourself".
***** He was talking to bundy why would it be aimed at everyone watching, it wasn't a jerry springer moment it was aimed at bundy. He meant it but he didn't really think before he said it.
Zac Efron really did a great job. He actually made me sympathise the man. Proves that he can be a serious actor after all. Also, the most chilling scene imo was in the end when he wrote hack saw. That was scary
I think the judge did more harm in his final sayings than good. He basically told Ted he was wasted potential and could have lived in an otherwise fruitful and successful life. That has to be constantly be ringing in Ted's ears in his prison cell for all those years awaiting death row
Bundy didn't care about anyone but himself, telling him that he indeed could've been a great man had he not chosen to go out and murder people was the most effective way to reach him on some level. Bundy can't feel sorrow and remorse for what he did however he can feel these emotions for himself, so making him well aware of what could've been probably hurt him more than just calling him a despicable human being or monster.
Very well said, the exact psychology the judge was using to break him down to shit. With that being said, I would've ordered to give him over to the victims families and let them do what they want to him.
Rena Sherwood Was the entire trial broadcast back then, or was it just highlights? The OJ Simpson trial seemed to be very much like this, in that it was televised. Sadly, though, Simpson got away with two murders. But at least he is where he beongs.
+Rena Sherwood I think you're right: The trial was filmed, but was not on live TV like it would be today. Here in Florida, PBS stations aired a nightly show called: State of Florida vs. Theodore Robert Bundy. It was a 30 minute show that aired highlights of the day's proceedings.
They cut off the entirety of his quote. He finished with "I don’t feel any animosity toward you. I want you to know that. Once again, take care of yourself." I know justice is supposed to be blind, but this isn't that. Thankfully they fried the creature despite Judge Cowart's many intercessions on the defense's behalf. Simply grotesque.
What the judge said to him at the end really hit home, he wasnt praising him he was simply telling him how disappointing that such a bright young man throw his life away like that
40yrs later and ppl still talkin about the judge. All he was saying is that Bundy was proof that it’s not always the crazy homeless guy from the alley. Bundy was most definitely a smart, handsome man. Gotta be so careful out there.
I think i heard something about ted always being 10 years behind his peers or that may have been jouberrt.. But nah that judge was just from a time in american history that if you reached a certain age it was deemed acceptable to treat other grown men as children. Plus you know how old people like to think there superior to younger males.
Charlie Van Kampen he was probably both but your right because he didn't wanna say he was guilty because the shame it would put on him and a narcissist would not be able to handle that.
It's ironic that in this country, it takes so long to execute someone that the person imposing death on the defendant may have less time in this world than the defendant himself. By the time you're executed, the judge that pronounced doom on you is already gone.
‘Take care of yourself young man’. Does anyone know if any of the relatives of Bundy’s victims ever publicly addressed those particular comments from the judge?
"I'm not asking for mercy because I find it absurd to ask for mercy for something I did not do!" Oh surely he wasn't stupid enough to think anyone believed that, was he? So he might have been handsome, clever, well read and all the rest of it, he was still a rampant psychopath!
Actually I'm not inclined to agree with you there, I think he knew perfectly well what he was doing but it gave him too great a sense of excitement and power to stop!
David Frigault so then how do you know that your statement is right? How do you know that your lifestyle is right? How do you know that me not shooting you is right?
I don’t think people truly understand how charismatic this guy was as a “person” , the judge is simply saying that with all that charisma he’d went far as a lawyer but he’s a serial killer, “waste of humanity “, you guys can’t be that naive to believe he’d want Bundy on his bench
I know it sounds cheesy, but in the eyes of the law he was technically cloaked in the presumption of not guilty. However, the may reason is it was a jury trial and he was acting as his own attorney. The law does not allow the defendant to be in prison uniform, shackles, or handcuffs in front of the jury. It's to not prejudice the jury by making the defendant already look like a criminal. I have no idea if Bundy was wearing one but now days a defendant like that will be wearing a shock device under his clothes the jury can't see. One of the guards in the court will have a remote they can drop the defendant with if anything happens.
What the judge said to Bundy was great. I bet he wanted Bundy to regret what he did... And yes, Bundy was inteligent and he was charming and he would make a great lawyer, but he destroyed his own life by destroying other people's lives.
I saw this in a movie about Ted Bundy. I thought it was just a script, but this judge really made that comment. It is bittersweet that judge sentenced you to death and told you that you could have been a great attorney.
It kinda pisses me off how he had a girlfriend who he loved and was kind too yet killed women like they were nothing it’s like what made that woman’s life more valuable than another ones
He was a very good looking man unheard, maybe after living in a prison for months without food and light might have affected his appearance in this video
Why did the judge say nice things to him that fueled Bundys narcissism. I wonder if the judge would have said those words if it were his daughter/wife/family that Bundy bludgeoned as they were sleeping in their bed?
He was a very handsome, charismatic guy -- I can understand how young girls could have been taken in by his charms. Thank God the Devil's finally taken him home.
“You went another way, partner.”
I feel this quote should be used more often than it is.

Ted Bundy wasted his gift of intelligence and used it for evil instead.
i dont think the judge was praising him, its just sad like he said.. such a smart guy having to result in such horrible, horrible acts , could've been someone decent in society .. Total human waste
Swiit Lime no
@Swiit Lime It only looks that way on the surface level. People should dig deeper. Only an idiot would take what he said completely literally.
Swiit Lime So what gotta praise his genius but not what he did
Swiit Lime He praised his ability in the courtroom. He told him he could’ve been a good lawyer if he didn’t waste his talents for evil shit. That’s psychological torture if I ever saw it.
Exactly. If anything he was throwing salt in his wounds, and attempting to psychologically destroy him.
What the judge said definitely hit him harder than any name calling. In that moment Ted realized he threw his own life away.
I don’t think bundy gave two craps what this judge ever had to say. He didn’t care about anything. If a human being is going around from state to state raping, killing women and beheading children, trust me.. they do not care about one. Single. Thing. He was a monster in the highest degree. Devil had the time of his life using this monster of a half human.

The judge is praising him for his intelligence and saying that it's a waste of good intelligence but unfortunately he used it in the wrong way. The judge sentenced him the death penalty. What more do you want?
To not shower a psycho serial killer with praise?
Rob F he didn’t praise him. He said he’s smart and therefore literally “a total waste of humanity”. Ted had to go back to his cell and contemplate those words.. that he had potential that he himself wasted.. every night for a decade after that. The judge didn’t appeal to his sense of remorse to the people that he hurt. That was pointless. He appealed to his sense of remorse to hurting himself, the only one he cared about. And I bet its the most painful thing anyone psychologically could do. That was verbal slaughter.
@@rmiddlehouse, I 100% agree.

Yeah but him saying he has no animosity towards Ted makes absolutely no sense to me. He killed a 12 year old girl and you WOULDN’T kick him in the throat given the opportunity? I know he sentenced him to death, but saying he had no animosity toward Bundy was weird and a little uncalled for considering the victims parents heard him say that.

The judge literally sentenced him to death and y’all are mad that he was polite. It’s an important precedent to set that you, especially as a judge, can see the good in people and yet still carry out what justice must be done. I don’t want my judges to be sentencing people to death out of spite and anger.
Seriously, let justice be done without hatred but with care. The court is for good, not revenge.

See the good? I think you need to look into Bundy' s criminology sweetheart. 30+ murders, likely much higher
@@brittanyperrodin7241 It is not about him being a good person. He could have been a good lawyer if he had not been a serial killer. That is what the judge meant in order to make him feel regret before his death. He had actually confessed a lot of his crimes before he died, so maybe somehow these words made him acknowledge a little what he had done .
'' But you went another way partner '' deeply moved by these last words
What was Ted Bundy’s hidden, dark side? Buy this book at Amazon books for a new look at Ted Bundy: TED BUNDY’S SEX LIFE: My Prison Interviews with The Serial-Sex Killer by Dr. Paul Dawson.
I'm really amazed at the judges comments and it confirms to me how dangerous Bundy really was.
Absolutely, it shows how his poor victims fell for his spellbinding charms, totally horrifying.
It is utterly chilling that a Judge would somehow find compliments for a mass murdering brutal rapist and psychopath. Goes to show that Psychopaths can fool literally anyone. He gave him the death penalty but seemed to feel some kind of weird guilt that he had passed the sentence at the end.
He was also objectively fooled by the very same murderous psychopath that had charmed women in a similar manner, he represented himself for his own sick gratification nothing more, not because he could argue against cold hard evidence and charm a Judge. If that Judge had been a pretty woman in another situation on a highway hitching a lift Bundy would've picked her up charmed her, strangled her ,raped her anally and then mutilated her body like the other victims. The Judge was irrational not objective, his irrational feelings of guilt are blindly obvious but not his fault since Bundy was a master at charming people.
even the judge died 2 years before bundy's death.
Crimhthan Mor not really it just goes to show how shit the justice system was then and how it had worsened since then
I really do not think the words of the judge were totally praiseworthy of Bundy. A little too chummy, sure; however, I think what he was trying to say if he was not a total psychopath he would be an upstanding citizen and that it was sad that he was such a piece of garbage.
the judge just sentenced a man to death....maybe he felt that wrong..so offered to counter it..it does not matter anyway
I agree with you.
Your assessment is more accurate. There's other footage where the judge admonishes him. He also comforts the mother of a nervous witness. He heard all the horrors first hand, probably felt some sympathy for Bundy's mother, and probably just felt what a waste. He wasn't fooled by anyone's "charm".
The "partner" comment and saying "I would of loved to have you practice in my courtroom" were a little too much for someone who had raped and murdered so many young women, including a 12 year old girl. I personally would of said: I'm glad you will no longer be living among us. Then left it at that.

The fact he even charmed the judge to a degree... no wonder the world is ruled by psychopaths.
What Judge Cowart said to Ted Bundy is without question the most relevant, necessary, and well-thought out statement I have ever seen a judge say to a criminal defendant (I am a law student and I have read plenty of these statements). What he said needed to be said to Ted: He had such great potential to make a great attorney or politician, and he peed that opportunity down his leg and instead used his potential to kill innocent women and cause irreparable damage to numerous families.
What a disgrace that the judge was so nice to that animal. The judge practically spitted on the faces of the family members of the victims. It shows that people like quote "good looking people" no matter what the criminal does.
I'm so glad I found this intelligent comment amongst a sea of idiots wishing harm upon the judge or calling him an idiot for "praising a murderous criminal".
What are you even saying? "People like good looking people no matter what the criminal does?" How is that relevant with what the judge said. Many people - mostly women - loved Bundy due to his good looks but I doubt the judge was one of them. Bundy was a smart, educated man who had a bright future had he not turned to murder and necrophilia.
I agree. the judge is stating the truth. total waste of humanity. talking about the victims and ted.
Lots of politicians are rapists and murders like Ted Bundy. Just look at Hilary Clinton Obama and Podesta. Ted Bundy would of fit in well with them and would never gotten caught if he became a politician before murdering women first. Just look at the coverup of #pizzagate in D.C Washington. There are a lot of Teds in government

he deserved what he got for all the women he killed not just the 3 he was convicted of killing and the ones he admmitted to killing but was never taken to court for. or all the ones who have never been found.
i thought it was the 12 yr old girl .well any rate, the whole point is watching this and I just thought it was weird calling a convicted murderer ,,"partner" no matter the context. that is all i was commenting on. . Ted Bundy would take his dead victims to the woods line them up and have sex with them until they were decaying too much to do so. I cant think of ANY setting on this planet where i would call a guy partner after that.....can you imagine if your out in the woods and you stumbled upon that scene......jesus...there are a lot of good people in the world,,,but as a collective whole, , the human race is a piece of shit. we have such a short time on this planet and the shit we do, worry about, act upon, think about, watch, control, lie about just amazes me. we seem to be getting meaner too, which is pretty scary as if things are bad enough...oh well, i just saw kiss for the 16 time....i have to say that was a bright spot for this year...LOL
“You went another way partner” and then that nod in his head. He verbally destroyed him. If you can’t see and hear that you really don’t master the language.
It’s funny how people In these comments are taking the judges words right over their heads and not even thinking about what he is saying to Ted, he is giving him these praises because he wants ted to know just how much he wasted of himself, Ted was a really smart person, and was incredibly charming would have made an amazing politician or lawyer and he wasted all of his potential on the heinous things he did, what the judge did was shame Ted by giving him a perspective of the man he could have been.

It is a sentence of someone else who is not standing here today.”

Both are dangerous
The words of the judge haunted Bundy as he waited for his execution. It reminded Bundy of what could have been, which is a terrible thing to live with. Many ppl here are saying the judge was charmed by Bundy or that he shouldn’t have complimented him. The words weren’t complimentary. They just reminded Ted that he had potential to be something but that he never achieved it.
yeah and he didnt go along with bundys facade. Even though bundy was still denying it the judge spoke to him as a convicted man
After all the monstrous acts, I hope there was something that rattled that bastard to his very core as he sat on death row awaiting his fate. He was a fucked up waste of a human being. He was “so charming” until he was alone with those women and then attacked them without warning.
And even further than that, inadvertently reminding him that he still got caught and couldn’t outsmart the law or justice. Shot to the ego
The judges final words were crippling, not polite. His decision and dialogue explained how Bundy not only failed at becoming a decent lawyer, but also as the elusive murderer he always was.
Bundy cared only for his escape, the judge understood that and almost seemed to hint that he was a better lawyer than killer. The biggest slap in your face to Bundy
I truly believe the judge attacked Bundy where it hurt, right in his deep murderous heart
Oh please! He wasn't even a lawyer. He didn't even attend his classes in law school. He dropped out after the first year because he was hunting UNDERAGE girls in Utah.And who do you think paid his college tuition? His gf Liz Kendall.

Judges also are to remain emotionless as possible over matters. What he said was wise and respectful as it should be when upholding a position of power like that
It always amazes me, what the judge said at the end. I guess that was the influence of Bundy. Many police officer said they liked him as well.

One of Bundy's best performances.....fortunately the jury and the judge saw
right through him and found him guilty.
Narcissistic psychopaths in court, besauce they think they are smarter and can fool everyone in the room, just dig their own grave.
It wasn’t a good performance he turned down a plea deal that would have saved his life turned his own trial into a media farce by getting himself onto his own legal council and turned the jury and his own defence against him with his antics. He literally got himself the death penalty with his antics, the prosecution literally offered him a plea deal because they didn’t think they had enough evidence for a conviction
The jury found him guilty. The judge was a little gay for him tbh 🤣
It wasn't that the judge was caught up in Bundy's charms. It was quite to the contrary. He was pointing out to Bundy how dramatically different his life could have turned out, had he chosen to practice law and live within the confines of the law. The judge chose to state this out of compassion and sorrow, from one human being to another. Issuing a death sentence is no easy matter, no matter how much someone deserves it. And at the end of the day, it didn't change the fact that the judge felt that weight upon his shoulders, as I am sure he did many others. Don't misunderstand me, Bundy deserved the sentence that he was given. I'm only saying that judges are human, too. They have the ability to express compassion, even to the most heinous of offenders. I believe the moment that we cease to show compassion, our effectiveness as law enforcement officers, attorneys, and others courtroom actors will preclude us from being interested in the truth or doing what is right any longer. Many call Bundy a "monster", and on some levels, he was. However, at the end of the day, he was just a man, who was caught and arrested by men, tired by men, and sentenced to death by a man.
Well said. Humanity is the difference between the judge and Theodore

_Laggy he was bright in a charismatic way but he had other things he wanted to pursue, total waste of humanity
The irony being that Judge Cowart died before Bundy.
A local actor I know who's a retired attorney told me he was in law school in the state of Utah where Bundy was imprisoned. He told me as he was touring the facility, he saw Ted heading to court with his team of lawyers. Ted looked at my friend and said to his lawyers, "See that guy over there? He's a law student. I can smell him a mile a way." Then gave him an evil glare.
My actor friend said "That comment sent chills down my spine."
+Russell Nielsen Whoa.
He's a Mormon.
Russell Nielsen you totally made that shit up you colon cowboy
Psychopaths are often very good at reading people, since they spend their lives mimicking human emotions. Either that, or it was simply a lucky guess. Ted liked being right, and he also liked getting a rise out of people.
Slippery Storm If he lied it was very convincing. Having not been there, I don't know if it happened or not.
Even though the judges words were "kind", I believe them to be the final nail in Bundy's coffin. Imagine how that must have made Ted feel hearing the judge say that, thinking about what could have been had he not done what he did. If I were Bundy, those words would eat me alive. I would probably think about them everyday.
Taking care of himself like the judge said must had been hard for Bundy considering the judge also condemned him to be killed a minute before.
It’s funny how the judge said to Bundy take care of yourself right after he sentenced him to death😂

@@NikephorosCaesar Who cares if people remember you if you're dead? Like you're not there to even appreciate it so why would that even matter. But, if it did matter. I've watched multiple Ted Bundy Documentaries and movies but I can't name one of his victim's names off the top of my head. I'm sure most people can't. Experts believe Ted killed way over 30 women, and Ted himself said he's killed in the triple digits. So there are probably a lot of dead women who suffered horribly that don't even get this said 'remembrance' you speak of.
WTF is the judge praising this guy for? "Bright young man"? The guy was a classic psychopath, and like all psychopaths he considered himself invincible. Sure, he was probably intelligent. But he had zero morality and empathy for any of his victims. Like other sociopaths, he believed himself totally superior to the rest us "insects". He regarded himself as too smart to get caught. But then he got caught, and whined that "the Devil and Playboy magazine made me do it" (as he claimed in an infamous interview with the Rev. Dobson).
He didnt praise him. He was simply saying that ted would have been a great lawyer if he didnt become a murderer

+Thomas Deakin Frustrating isn't it Thomas, why do they keep changing the names of things? I actually think Psychopath describes the condition far better, in that it is a disease of the psyche. I mean, socio says something about his attitude to society generally, in that he lives outside of the norm and does his own thing regardless of the impact it will have on other's lives. However, the reason for his doing that lies in the genetic make up combined with the environmental conditioning. So, to my mind, Psychopath says it better in that it admits of a genetic origin.
His victims would be in their 50s, 60s, or even 70s. Hard to believe that much time has passed.

When I read about Ted Bundy and I saw what he looked like I thought the same thing, or something similar anyway, to what the judge said. I thought to myself, "my God, this guy is really nice looking, he's extremely intelligent and he could have been _anything_!"
What in the hell drove him to be a monster? The only thing I can think of is that he was born one.
The effects of pornography watching addiction. He said this at the last interview...Bundy's zodiac is Sagittarius, his element is fire. Men whose element is fire like him and me are very attracted to practice anything they love. So, if a man like him is addicted to something, unfortunately it will affects him badly. So, to avoid this, follow the right path and you should have manners. Women are created to not be treated as objects or sexual materials. Any religion respects women as a human not a material for men's lust.
He said that?? That is probably apon one of his lies. What does Zodiac signs have to do with anything? Sagittarius is my astrological sign and I ain't interested in committing crimes against guys? And i'm pretty sure many men don't get obssessed with raping women! wtf r u ranting about?
Elisa Mastromarino Western zodiacs are not concerned with the future and what will happen, they put persons who are born on a specific date into a category which defines their character and their interests. Nothing more. I am not interested in Chinese zodiacs because my interests only is to know the character of the person I deal with. Sagittarius man is not like Scorpio man as interests and behaviors. Nothin' more. And I don't like wasting my time in other zodiacs talking because I don't believe in it. They knows nothin' about the future. I hope you get it. Western zodiacs are concerned with the character. I don't care about anything more than this. And you have the freedom to believe or not to believe like the religious believes.
Have a nice time! But, what do you base your belief system on? Do you believe that the Western zodiac is true, at least in part, because of scientific reasoning or just from your experience? Because I have noticed the Chinese Zodiac... and I think there can be some interest in what year we were born as well. As you probably know, the Chinese zodiac goes by the year you were born and follows every 7 years. For example, I was born in a certain year of the rabbit. My dad was also born in the year of the rabbit of course 35 years before me, but none the less we were born in the year of the rabbit. I am his only child that was born in the year of the rabbit under the Chinese zodiac and I am also the only child that ended up looking like him and also acting like him. I think it's probably coincidence but it makes me wonder if the moon, the tides, the Sun Etc don't actually play a Part in how we are or how we become. The Earth is 70% water and the human body is 60% water. Scientifically speaking, is it not possible that one effects the other?
Elisa Mastromarino Thank you, your points are very good. Actually I am not interested in Chinese zodiacs because my target is to know how to deal with the other people who are different from you and nothin' more. Western zodiacs are only concerned with general behavior in life, your targets, your interests, your major merits and demerits only and nothin' more. This is according to your birthday. The second part is the representative system, how you receive the information, visual imagination or audio or feeling. These are three systems and you have one of them as the dominant. If you are visual, you only concerned with the global image of somethin' not with the details of it. If you are audio, you are sensitive to sounds and you like talking to people and asking them a lot. If you are a feeler, you are concerned with the feelings towards somethin' and the details of it. The 3rd part is the type of your character, leader, thinker, affectionate and expressive. Everybody have 3 ..a zodiac, a representative system and a character type. This affects your behavior by your own choice not by the coincident events or the moon and the sun. I only know that the sun is for giving us the solar power, the moon for another function,......You decide, you choose your way...you are free...I have personal experience in these kinda situations, I had problems with visual people because I am feeler, and with the zodiacs that are not compatible with me specially Libra because our interests are completely different and so on. So, I have decided to read about zodiacs and the human development science. That's it ! :D please if it is possible, tell me your birthday date and your father to tell you my little opinion :). Thanks
"Take care of yourself. You would've been a great lawyer." WTH?!! Bundy screwed up his own case by representing himself and throwing tantrums. Most of his cases had minimal evidence and would've been thrown out, but Bundy didn't take advice of counsel and went his own way. I loved that because now he's dead!!!
+sightgags This guy was out of his tree himself: fancy telling some guy he just sentenced to death - twice - to take care of himself!
+sightgags They usually say "And may God have mercy on your soul." after a criminal is sentenced to death. So maybe this judge didn't want any mercy for Bundy.
+lonelyheroine Yep, the judge died of a heart attack before Bundy died. I think he had no choice under the law but to hand down the death sentence. I think, despite the horrific crimes Bundy committed this decision lay heavy on the heart of the judge. He could see the tragedy of Bundy himself. The waste of a fine young man. I don't believe in the death penalty. Had Bundy lived, he would have been an old man by now. He was born in 1946 and today would have been 69 this coming November. Because he died young and still handsome, he has erroneously become a poster boy for serial murder. Had he been placed in a secure psychiatric institution, where he could have contributed a great deal to the study of serial killers like himself, the world would have gained much. As it is, they lost a great deal in murdering Bundy. There is simply no excuse for this. There are many ways he could have been stopped from running, they just never bothered to try any of them. Drug control, even castration would I believe have been sanctioned by Bundy if he had the choice. Furthermore, electronic devices to monitor his whereabouts at any time could have been implanted in him. All of these things would have made the death sentence unnecessary. Bundy was definitely insane, even if the law did not categorize him as such. The proper place for an insane person is in a psychiatric institution, not a concrete cell in solitary confinement.
The forensic dental evidence matched his teeth to a bite mark on the victim.
+Pamela Valemont `"the waste of a fine young man! !?.........you seem to be a little blinded by the "handsome young poster boy" yourself.......do you know how many killers have escaped from prison or psychiatric hospitals, or god forbid, been parolled and gone out to kill again and again and again`? there are many victims of such sadists who became victims after this person was considered to be "healed" by therapy, or served their time in prison and were then set free to walk among us again.........also, i personally do not consider the death penalty to be murder, firstly there was NO doubt whatsoever that he commited these crimes, and in my opinion if you take someone elses life, and in such a horrific way then you have forfeited the right to your own, this is not revenge, but simply justice carried out by the state.......i am not religious, but even the Bible says "an eye for an eye" !......its easy to have sympathy for these people and state that the death penalty is wrong, but i think if someone you love was ever a victim or someone like this you would see things a little differently.
By todays standards, that judge would have had to resign for those weird comments..
This judge became immortalized when he said his final words to Bundy. Word for word what he said was perfect
Take care of yourself.... utterly bizzare
jim lennon I wouldn't call it bizarre, because the judge was quite sincere when he said that; if you listen to what the judge had to say after he imposed the sentence of death by electrocution, Judge Cowart said "It's a tragedy to see such a total waste of humanity that I've experienced in this courtroom; you're a bright young man, you would have made a good lawyer, and I would have loved to have you practice in front of me, but you went another way, partner. Take care of yourself".
***** Very true.
***** He was talking to bundy why would it be aimed at everyone watching, it wasn't a jerry springer moment it was aimed at bundy. He meant it but he didn't really think before he said it.
***** He could wrap people around his little finger could you imagine him saying that to Richard ramirez
jim lennon
Yeah! Be careful...especially around electricity!
Zac Efron really did a great job. He actually made me sympathise the man. Proves that he can be a serious actor after all. Also, the most chilling scene imo was in the end when he wrote hack saw. That was scary
Lewis Sison noup, Ripped Ted Bundy? too distracting
As u can see Bundy's smirk in that picture. He's not smiling now. A cold soul never rests.
The irony is that he sentenced bundy to death but died 2 yrs before him.
I think the judge did more harm in his final sayings than good. He basically told Ted he was wasted potential and could have lived in an otherwise fruitful and successful life. That has to be constantly be ringing in Ted's ears in his prison cell for all those years awaiting death row
Agreed. It was almost a 'this is what you could have won' if you wasn't such a fucking lunatic.
Bundy didn't care about anyone but himself, telling him that he indeed could've been a great man had he not chosen to go out and murder people was the most effective way to reach him on some level. Bundy can't feel sorrow and remorse for what he did however he can feel these emotions for himself, so making him well aware of what could've been probably hurt him more than just calling him a despicable human being or monster.
Very well said, the exact psychology the judge was using to break him down to shit. With that being said, I would've ordered to give him over to the victims families and let them do what they want to him.
''you would have make a great lawyer''
yeah cuz lawyer all have to do is cover things up like he did?
broken world we live in
you went another way.....understatement of the century
Damn! I remember watching this on CBS News when I was a kid!
Rena Sherwood Was the entire trial broadcast back then, or was it just highlights? The OJ Simpson trial seemed to be very much like this, in that it was televised. Sadly, though, Simpson got away with two murders. But at least he is where he beongs.
Quite honestly, I can't remember. I think much of the trial was filmed, but I do not think it was shown on TV in real time. I could be wrong!
+Rena Sherwood I think you're right: The trial was filmed, but was not on live TV like it would be today. Here in Florida, PBS stations aired a nightly show called: State of Florida vs. Theodore Robert Bundy. It was a 30 minute show that aired highlights of the day's proceedings.
They cut off the entirety of his quote. He finished with "I don’t feel any animosity toward you. I want you to know that. Once again, take care of yourself." I know justice is supposed to be blind, but this isn't that. Thankfully they fried the creature despite Judge Cowart's many intercessions on the defense's behalf. Simply grotesque.
the judge may have been afraid of his own life. and was trying to flatter him. Bundy had broken out of prison before...
I'll try to find out more about Judge Cowart's intercessions. Your statement suggests that the Judge was indeed charmed by that super-phoney!
What the judge said to him at the end really hit home, he wasnt praising him he was simply telling him how disappointing that such a bright young man throw his life away like that
The judge died 2 years before Bundy. He died of a heart attack at 62.
40yrs later and ppl still talkin about the judge. All he was saying is that Bundy was proof that it’s not always the crazy homeless guy from the alley. Bundy was most definitely a smart, handsome man. Gotta be so careful out there.
I like how he's carrying those books back like getting prepared for the next court day 1:26
Lmao
I miss when tv looked like this… early 90s /80s
Wow what the judge said was just so weird! I completely understand what he was saying, but the timing was just so weird.
so he even won over the judge omg, that judge is mad
+seco ndo Getting death penalty is winning?
+seco ndo no, he lamented having to send somebody to death. Usually people don't like killing people even if they don't like the person.
I think i heard something about ted always being 10 years behind his peers or that may have been jouberrt.. But nah that judge was just from a time in american history that if you reached a certain age it was deemed acceptable to treat other grown men as children. Plus you know how old people like to think there superior to younger males.
MP R Bundy wasn't a psychopath; he was most likely a malignant narcissist.
Charlie Van Kampen he was probably both but your right because he didn't wanna say he was guilty because the shame it would put on him and a narcissist would not be able to handle that.
It's ironic that in this country, it takes so long to execute someone that the person imposing death on the defendant may have less time in this world than the defendant himself. By the time you're executed, the judge that pronounced doom on you is already gone.
‘Take care of yourself young man’.
Does anyone know if any of the relatives of Bundy’s victims ever publicly addressed those particular comments from the judge?
We don't know that. Denise Naslund's mom said only that the electric chair was too easy for Bundy.
The judge probably felt bad for him, knowing Bundy could have had such a better life
"I'm not asking for mercy because I find it absurd to ask for mercy for something I did not do!"
Oh surely he wasn't stupid enough to think anyone believed that, was he?
So he might have been handsome, clever, well read and all the rest of it, he was still a rampant psychopath!
👏👏👏
+Juliacornwall he would have thought that he did nothing wrong, even if he legally or morally did do something wrong.
Actually I'm not inclined to agree with you there, I think he knew perfectly well what he was doing but it gave him too great a sense of excitement and power to stop!
Both to their own - either way, he murdered those poor girls.
But yeah, craycray
David Frigault so then how do you know that your statement is right? How do you know that your lifestyle is right? How do you know that me not shooting you is right?
He was just completely rotten through and through. I don't find him handsome either as he was called. He's a total creep. Ugh
If he was in Norway he would have got community service
When he said he would'nt share the burden of the guilt ,he was telling the court he was a psychopath, unable to feel remorse.
I don’t think people truly understand how charismatic this guy was as a “person” , the judge is simply saying that with all that charisma he’d went far as a lawyer but he’s a serial killer, “waste of humanity “, you guys can’t be that naive to believe he’d want Bundy on his bench
It's so unbelievable that he was just allowed to walk around court like he didn't murder 36, possibly more, human beings
I know it sounds cheesy, but in the eyes of the law he was technically cloaked in the presumption of not guilty.
However, the may reason is it was a jury trial and he was acting as his own attorney. The law does not allow the defendant to be in prison uniform, shackles, or handcuffs in front of the jury. It's to not prejudice the jury by making the defendant already look like a criminal.
I have no idea if Bundy was wearing one but now days a defendant like that will be wearing a shock device under his clothes the jury can't see. One of the guards in the court will have a remote they can drop the defendant with if anything happens.
Ted was convicted of 36 murders but it’s believed he killed about 300.... and only one was probably a man.
What the judge said to Bundy was great. I bet he wanted Bundy to regret what he did... And yes, Bundy was inteligent and he was charming and he would make a great lawyer, but he destroyed his own life by destroying other people's lives.
i think its a common feeling of hurt when someone says what you could have been, and what you missed out on.
Man i mistook ted with al bundy and was like wtf is going on what did i miss
I like that judge.👍
He told him like a man.🎯
He is so calm about it 😂
I saw this in a movie about Ted Bundy. I thought it was just a script, but this judge really made that comment. It is bittersweet that judge sentenced you to death and told you that you could have been a great attorney.
It kinda pisses me off how he had a girlfriend who he loved and was kind too yet killed women like they were nothing it’s like what made that woman’s life more valuable than another ones
Ted bundy had many girlfriends not just one and I think ted broke up with his first girlfriend and got a new girlfriend named Elizabeth.
He's gross. Why do people say he's attractive. I mean, he's definitely not ugly, but he ain't Romeo either.
Who's Romeo? George A Romero?
you just contradicted yourself badly
He's a creeep. Look at his eyes in his pictures. They're so evil
He was a very good looking man unheard, maybe after living in a prison for months without food and light might have affected his appearance in this video
@@TeamCGS2005 Its been a year but I had respond to you come on you never heard of shakespeare or maybe you just a kid in that case sorry buddy.
Zac effron did such a good job playing him he literally had the same expression
for all of you trying to interrupt what the judge said, its called "killing them with kindness".
Goes to show what you can get away with, with some charm and good looks. The man was a serial killer and had people's sympathy!
Free fries when bundy fries
Why did the judge say nice things to him that fueled Bundys narcissism. I wonder if the judge would have said those words if it were his daughter/wife/family that Bundy bludgeoned as they were sleeping in their bed?
He was a very handsome, charismatic guy -- I can understand how young girls could have been taken in by his charms. Thank God the Devil's finally taken him home.
