  • Murder In The Heartland (1993) Part 2
    Starring:
    Tim Roth, Fairuza Balk, Brian Dennehy
    The miserable life and long-overdue death of thrill killer Charles Starkweather is the basis of the two-part TV movie Murder in the Heartland. Over a bloody few months in 1958, Starkweather (Tim Roth), a 19-year-old high school dropout, embarked on a killing spree, snuffing out 11 victims. Along for the ride was Charlie's 14-year-old girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate (Fairuza Balk). The debate still goes on as to whether Caril Ann was a willing accomplice or a reluctant prisoner; as played by Ms. Balk, she comes off as dumb as mud. A shorter, fictionalized account of the Starkweather killings was offered in the critically acclaimed 1973 theatrical feature Badlands, starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. Murder in the Heartland originally aired May 3 and 4, 1993. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I respect how they told this gruesome true story. No horribly bloody, agonizing murder scenes, no scenes of the rape and no bad language. It just goes to show you can make a good movie and get all the points across without all of the gratuitous blood, sex and terrible language that seem to be in every movie today..

    It was hard back then to understand that someone could not try to get away from a psychopath like Starkweather. It was before people like Elizabeth Smart, Patty Hearst, and Shawn Hornbeck. All of them had opportunity at some point to leave their abusive captures but didn't. She obviously was afraid, and had no reason to help him kill for the one great reasons that they all seemed to look over and that was that she broke up with him! That was the whole catalyst for him going to her house in the first place! He was obsessed with her! I imagine she was terrified and did whatever she knew how to do to survive. She probably even gave Charlie Starkweather the impression that she didn't want to leave him so he wouldn't kill her, and that could be why he said she was in all the way. He was also bitter that she turned against him. He was a ruthless killer that murdered a baby! To believe anything he said was a sign to how much they wanted to fry Caril.

    The Mrs. says: I went to a small country school in 1957, there was a little teeny boy who got picked on by the other big over fed country boys, he would run to us girls and we would stick up for him, he was very gentle and wanted to design ladies fancy clothes, so we new he would never be a mans man, he was like our little boy and so we protected him. come Christmas time he came to school with these little packages and gave each of us girls a present, they were beautiful scarves, he made them all different prints and I was so happy, I had nothing and that was a treasure, he hand sewed each one and the boys knew they were never going to pick on him again so they gave up and leaved us alone with our little fashion designer. I so prayed he would be successful and have a great life, when I left that country school he was the one I will never forget. We always told him Jimmy, be big in your mind and you will be rich and happy.

    In reality,of all 17 counts Charlie was given chair on one count of killing Robert Janson, as victims mother was good friend of this prosecutor. It is true, that Ann had many opportunities to run for help or alert authorities but she was under impression that if she did so, Charlie will harm her parents, she was a kid, u tell a 8th grader that I will kill ur parents if u did this or that, won't he be terrorized. It's very easy to manipulate kids. Jury didn't buy Ann's hostage story n gave her life.

    From everything i read and pictures ive seen, Caril was a sullen bad tempered teenager who hated her little sister and being told what to do by her mother and stepfather. Did she think he would kill them? Nope but at time she couldve ran to the police but she didnt. She was numb? Bullocks. She was having fun and only decided to play the victim when she got caught. Her tears and outburst show her childish logic that she shouldn't pay the concequences of her actions. I think Starkweather told the truth he didnt have any reason to lie at that point he was going to die anyway.

      How would you account for the note signed by Miss Bartlett--a two year old who couldn't read-- and one of the victim's books found in the road? Also being Starkweather's girlfriend is NOT a bullet-proof vest. Fugate had better do as Starkweather says or she would be just as dead as the victims. Also this took place before the Patricia Hearst case. Patricia Heart was kidnapped by the Symbonese Liberation Army and was locked in a closet for 60 days. Hearst was next seen holding a rifle in a bank robbery so people said she was an accomplice. I think that Fugate and Hearst was in similar situation--you better comply or you won't survive.

When it became clear to Starkweather that he would not be able to kill more victims and that his destiny was the electric chair, that is when he chose to hurt Caril Ann Fugate. After all, what was his motive for confessing that he killed all the victims?

      vocalist777 yes that’s right, human skin smells of burned/grilled pig. The more the skin is prone to produce oils or has deep layers of fat, the more the smells will have a scent of burned/old used pig fat/overcook oils. You can smell this odor, while having hot laser surgery with local anesthetic, or having hot laser wound sealing. I had 6 hot laser interventions of different types mainly for removing part of the gums that were overlapping some teeth, skin with abnormal dangerous formations, a tonsillectomy’s, and sealing surgery wounds. Sorry if I seem weird, but after the smell and being empty of food for one day, before surgery, the only thing I was able to think about was a pork chop or barbecue pork ribs.

    This reminds me of the Meagan Grunwald case in Utah. Her ex-boyfriend forced her to go with him and drive the car. He killed a cop, he in turn was killed, and the judge sentenced her 25 to life.
    Prior to meeting the loser ex-boyfriend she had a bright academic career, was involved in 4H, etc. I think she wanted to break up with him too.
    The judge had the nerve to tell her that she should somehow known he was evil. Oh really? How can a 17 year old have the life experience to always recognize evil early on? There are women in their 30's, 40's, and 50's who have been married to serial killers and not known it! An entire NATION (Germany) did not recognize evil until it was far too late !

      +sbarr10 I agree that at 14 she wouldn't have known exactly what to do, but I don't think she is as innocent as she wants people to believe. I also don't think she killed anyone and is a guilty as Chuck said she was. The truth, obviously, lies somewhere between their two stories and we will never know the whole truth. I thought she was pretty innocent until she was caught in 2 big lies.1. That she didn't know her family was dead but she told the officer she ran to that she watched him kill them and 2. That she didn't know how to shoot a gun when she had stated she did previously. Although I don't think she was casually laying on her bed in her room watching TV while he killed her family.

Where she just don't have it in her to kill anybody. Trust me if she did from the way he dragged her and treated her, she would've killed him already.

And as much as any person says they couldn't kill someone, they can, there is a certain situations for everyone to make anyone do anything. And that's a fact. I would have held tight and tried to survive hoping that if I was saved that the people in charge of everything would make things right but as proven here people brake the rules that are put there for a reason and put innocent people in jail, for what reason I don't know. When the person at the top with the most power in the situation breaks a rule to benefit one then the rest falls. You need to stick to what is written and what is right. Every rule has a purpose and you have to follow them all for any of them to work. I don't know why people see her as guilty, they would have done the same if put in her situation, anyone would and if they hadn't just like the man defending her said they would have been dead very quickly.

    As a Criminal Justice Major this movie is an excellent example of how criminal law is illustrated. From a critical analysis, I found several key issues that could have been argued on an appellate level. Such issues consisted of whether Caril should have been tried as a juvenile, whether the prosecution was prejudicial in presenting the case and during trial proceedings. Furthermore, the defense should not have been over ruled on several aspects. In addition, the presiding judge seemed some what biased towards the defense. As far as Stark weather is concerned, my perception of him is such that he was the town bad boy that went to great lengths to exploit anyone to get what he wanted and still refused to take accountability for his actions. Nevertheless, this movie is a must watch.

      +Michkie Marschall As a Canadian I am always perplexed and shocked each time I see minors tried as adults in American courtrooms. I don't understand how a person's age can be ignored based on the crime of which they're accused. Either you have juvenile laws for juveniles, and adult laws for adults, or you just have laws and you disregard age altogether. Why have the pretence of making a distinction between the two when it can be ignored whenever the prosecution feels like it? In Canada many citizens are outraged at the lenient sentences shown to minors in our system for even severe crimes, and I am one of them. But I still believe we have to take the age of the accused into consideration when they're tried. It makes no sense to me whatsoever to try a 14 year old as an adult, for the very important reason that they are NOT an adult. How did this even get started in American courts?

The coroner said her skull was crushed with a blunt object but Chuck said he threw a knife at her. In an interview with Caril in the 80's she said she couldn't believe anyone could think she would be able to be in the house with Chuck while he put a gun in her little sisters mouth. It doesn't seem very clear how the poor baby was killed.

    Not to make excuses but seems Starkweather was severely picked on when he was young which at least in part led to his demeanor and his crimes. As for Caril, I believe she was highly manipulated. There was no physical evidence (required by law) to convict her and obviously the letter she had written was destroyed by the prosecution. I feel she was convicted primarily by guilt by association and probably shouldn't have been sentenced for so long if at all. She had no past record of any violent behavior and was a model prisoner up until her release.

    If Charles Starkweather stayed in Wyoming, he more than likely would have never been executed. He fried his own bacon when he said, I don't like the smell of gas. The governor of Wyoming, at the time was very much against the death penalty. If Charlie only had known, but he was a cocky mass murderer, so he was electrocuted. This was a really good movie. I'm not usually a fan of made for tv movies. Another one to check out is, "Murder In Coweta County" (1983) starring Andy Griffith and Johnny Cash. Which was based on the true story of John Wallace, in Georgia. It took place in the late 1940s. Andy Griffith did a great job in his performance (You won't watch The Andy Griffith Show, the same way, at least in the short term) of John Wallace. Johnny Cash was great as well, as Sheriff Lamar Potts. John was convicted and executed in Georgia's electric chair in 1950. It's worth a watch.

    Although this move was good they got a vital part completely wrong. Before someone is executed in the United States, the person carrying out the sentence must quote (In Charles Starkweather's case it would have been. Charles Starkweather, electricity now will be passed through your body until you are dead in accordance with state law.
    They must say it and it is vital that they do because of the double jeopardy law. A person cannot be tried or convicted twice for the same offense and the sentence can only be carried out once. If they had failed to say that sentence before Charles Starkweather;s execution, then after the switch was thrown once and Starkweather survived it, they would have had no legal authority to throw the switch a second time as under the law Charles Starkweather;s sentence would have been carried out. They would have had to unstrap him, provide him with any necessary medical care and let him go. They must specify it clearly so they can legally execute the person without infringing on the double jeopardy law.

Today that can not be answered even by a medical doctor, because it is a "legal term," and to be determined only by the jury, and/or judge of the case. So whenever a mental health professional testifies, she/he can not speak to whether or not some is sane or insane, only where they fall within the DSM, for what that's also worth.

    Charlie was a bad boy. Capitol punishment works real well; he's never murdered since.

    Also, check out the movie with Martin Sheen and Cissie Spacek. That was from the girl's perspective. Very good movie also. Peace.

      Badlands was loosely based on this event. For a while people thought it was an original work. But check out Natural Born Killers.
