  • Tonight on Prime Crime we discuss Anthony Kirkland a brutal serial killer out of Ohio. What's really chilling is how this started out as a case of a missing teenager, but ended with multiple dead bodies. Not only are Kirkland's interviews with police riveting but his legal journey was anything but straightforward, there is a surprise twist!

      Agreed, however, there are always some people who have issues, like Vets, who have a flashback where they are living through an experience again and don't know it isn't happening at that moment. There are Vets who have killed family members and were whle having flashbacks either asleep or awake.
      I have had flashbacks where I was back in the situation and someone, at the time was able to bring me out of it. I never hurt anyone because of the flashbacks. The violence of the situation wasn't like a war zone. Many Vets have done things that they didn't want to do, but had to do, at the time. That man may have has some flashbacks, but he kept killing people and burning them. He knew what he was doing.

      I was working at a store close by where this happened. And this guy is horrible he has a passed he was in prison for more then 19 years prior to this. He set his uncle girlfriend on fire. Then years later they let him out then this happened a year after being out . Just horrible the system let's out killers but worried able people on drugs . Just sad story.

Not defending the guy, but from my perspective the fact he went and prepared for his statement means he took it seriously. I've seen people wing it, it's full of 'ums' and 'i swear to god', they come off as genuinely not interested, saying whatever because it's that time to say whatever.

      In a way it is true what you say. I am against death penalty, but I would change the system itself: "Either you work 14 hours a day in a mine (uranium or something like that) until you die naturally or you chose the death penalty, but then INSTANTANIOUSLY. Not after 30 years of comforting." But here (Germany) you may not die under any circumstances. You can suffer from the worst cancer, if you want to die you have to go to Swizerland or the Netherlands (dignitas). Because they all refer to the 2nd world war and euthanasia. This is more important than your personal right to die. Sick world!!

He noticed my sister and just walked by very agressively and gave me a CHILLING look. I am grateful my sister was with me that morning because I think he would have hurt me if she wasn't. He was radiating so much hatred I could phisically sense it, really strange. My sister said it gave her chills how much hatred he looked at me with. Nothing really happened, but I often think of him when I hear a crime story. Wonder what secrets he has and how/why can he hate someone he doesn't even know so much.

      Going through this trial must have been so hard on her family. She did everything right, and likely everything they thought her, but in the end it was no use. She apologised, but it angered him. She showed her innocence but he didn't care. She seemed like a sweet young girl but he blamed her for wrongs she never did.

I've been an advocate my whole life trying to wake people up to the dangers in this world. My belief is these types of criminals should be tortured to death live by the victims families, send a message to darkness that we're done turning the other cheek, Jesus said if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.

For me, it gives the impression of not feeling any real guilt or remorse. Like he was almost proud. Maybe he was actually happy with the death penalty because he knew that one way or another the end was near. Or he just knew that it generally takes quite awhile for the actual act of killing him would not be for quite awhile and at his age he may die before it’s imposed.

So much so that every word out of their mouth is a lie. They are so convincing they can look you square in the face and tell you a stream of lies you would swear are the truth.
      Luckily in my case all I had to do was ask for the password to the laptop their cousin supposedly gave them. You know, the one person on the planet who doesn't have a cell phone you can call to get the password. Even when you call them out for being a liar they have the balls to try and insist that everything they're saying is the truth.
      But again, up to that point you would swear every word coming out of their mouth is the absolute truth. Unfortunately, it's a story you've heard 15 times that week.
