Ted Bundy, the gas chamber, the firing squad...

Post Reply New Topic

Ted Bundy said as he awaited trial for murder in Colorado: "I think I have as much chance of dying in front of a firing squad or in a gas chamber as you do of being killed in a plane flight home". Is this why he then broke out of jail and rushed over to an electric chair state to commit some murders?

Sorry Ruve, but it did. Bundy was imprisoned in Utah in 1975 for aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault, Bundy was the prime suspect in a list of unsolved homicides in multiple states; a list that grew longer as time progressed. Facing murder charges in Colorado, he engineered two dramatic escapes and committed multiple additional assaults, including three murders, before his ultimate recapture in Florida in 1978. He received three death sentences in two separate trials for the Florida homicides. Ted Bundy died in the electric chair at Raiford Prison in Starke, Florida, on January 24, 1989.

And everything Bundy did was because of porn...

He was able to commit these crimes because of the way he looked,it proves that the people who look " creepy" usually are not dangerous,the one that look like they just rolled out of the country club are.

I watched the made for TV movie- there was a scene in the coloroda jail where asked his lawyer "what states still have death penalty?" The lawyer mentioned florida. Soon after that scene he engineered his escape, and fleed colorado for....Florida.


Magazine articles have said that "there is evidence that he was drawn TO florida because of its death penalty". So apparently he did have some kind of death wish.

Colorado is and was a death penalty state, at the time, a gas chamber state. Utah was and is a firing squad state, the Garry Gilmore case most famously. Bundy was in danger of being charged with capital murder in either a gas chamber or firing squad state, however, he was very good at covering his tracks and he was told that he had a good case and should not try to escape again. This meant that though the danger existed, it was not likely that he would face either of those things for what he had done. He escaped anyway and went to Florida where he murdered in a far more reckless manner and apparently did not count on the forensics people using bite marks to tie him to two of the murders. Moreover, it is true that Colorado and Utah are death states, they never used it quite as much as Florida did and does.
