[theme music]

NICK BROOMFIELD: It was here in
these woods off Florida's I-75

that in the space of
one year the police

found the bodies of seven men.

They were killed with this gun,
a High Standard double 9.22.

Richard Mallory, Walter Antonio,
Dick Humphreys, David Spears,

Charles Carskaddon, Peter
Siems, and Troy Burress.

REPORTER [ON RADIO]: Eight
men have been shot to death

in cold blood on central
Florida highways,

including the busy
tourist route of I-75.

But this time,
there's an even more

chilling twist to the slayings.

Police say for the first
time in criminal history,

these killers may be murdering
with a feminine touch.

NICK BROOMFIELD:
On January 9, 1991,

Aileen Carol
Wuornos was arrested

in Daytona Beach, Florida.

She worked as a
hitchhiking hooker.

-Oh.

-How are you doing?

NICK BROOMFIELD: This
is the original police

video of Aileen
Wuornos' confession.

NICK BROOMFIELD: The idea
of a woman killing men,

a man-hating lesbian prostitute
who tarnished the reputation

of all her victims,
brought Aileen

Wuornos a special
kind of hatred.

Terry Humphreys' father
was a retired police chief.

-There wasn't any sex
involved in my dad's murder.

They cut him-- they did
an autopsy on my dad.

They wouldn't release
his body for over a week.

They cut him from stem to stern.

There wasn't any
semen there anywhere.

-You just cannot imagine
the grief, the hurt,

the anguish that they
have caused this family.

This is a man that I had for--

-I hope she meets up
with quote, "Old Sparky."

You know who Old Sparky is.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Politicians
and the Christian right

campaigned for Aileen
Wuornos' execution.

-Because I'm tired of
this reelection jazz.

They're just trying to get
promotional ladder climbing,

political prestige from this.

And I'm sick and tired of this.

I'll probably get three
more Death Row sentences.

And then I got to go
to Pasco and Dixon

for two more d-- Death Row.

How many times you got
to kill me, you know?

I mean, this is--
this is bullshit.

They don't need
to be doing this.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Even Ted Bundy
was offered life imprisonment.

This was never offered
to Aileen Wuornos.

By the time I met
Aileen, she already

had four death sentences.

But surprisingly,
in an odd way, I

found her to be the most honest
person involved in the case.

All the others, her lawyers,
her born-again Christian mother,

the police, had
all been involved

in trying to sell her story
for as much money as possible.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Hi.

How you doing?

NICK BROOMFIELD: This is Aileen
when I first interviewed her

in 1992 for my original
film, "The Selling

of a Serial Killer."

-I say it's this.

The principle is self-defense.

They say it's a number.

I say it's a principle.

To heck with what--
it-- it-- it has

nothing to do with
the number killed.

It's the principle.

But they're saying,
there's a number.

No.

Self-defense is self-defense,
no matter how many times it is.

I don't care if it's 100 times.

I was very-- I never
provoked those guys.

I never provoked them.

I never showed any
provocations whatsoever.

I was very nice, very decent,
very clean, very lady-like.

I didn't even swear in
front of my clients.

And a lot of my clients
and I talked about Jesus

and I talked political
both mixed together

and we never argued.

NICK BROOMFIELD: My old film
had ended with this announcement

of the resignation of
Florida police officers

who had illicitly entered
into Hollywood movie deals

to sell the story of
America's first female serial

killer, the Aileen
Wuornos story.

-Major Dan Henry resigned as
Chief of Staff of the Marion

County Sheriff's Office
after being notified

of an investigation being
conducted by the Florida

Department of Law Enforcement.

The investigation being
conducted by the Florida

Department of Law
Enforcement centers

around taped telephone
conversations

made by Deputy
Munster between he

and Major Henry involving
the Aileen Wuornos case.

NICK BROOMFIELD: There was
speculation at the time

that if police officers
did, in fact, receive money,

all Aileen Wuornos' death
sentences could be overturned.

12 years later, Aileen
is still on Death Row.

There was no proper
investigation

into the police officers
and their movie deals.

It all got covered over.

Aileen and I kept in
touch over the years.

And then a few weeks ago
I opened my front door,

and to my amazement, was
served with a subpoena

to attend Aileen's final
appeal before execution.

I had no idea how
things would turn out

and that I'll be
witnessing an execution

in 1 and 1/2 years' time.

This is Ocala, Florida.

All us witnesses were
housed together in a motel.

-We're going to win this thing.

I'm telling you,
we're going to win.

NICK BROOMFIELD: This is Joe
Hobson, Aileen's attorney.

Lawyers like Joe
are kept very busy.

4,000 people are on Death
Row waiting for execution.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: OK.

-OK.

What--

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: You're not
very good at wheeling this.

-I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, bro.

-And has this
particular case been

stressful, the Aileen case?

-Uh, It's so important because
this is the legal system in a--

in a phase where it's doing
the most important thing it can

ever do, and that is
taking a human life.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Mm-hm.

-It's more important
than a money judgment

or an adjudication of guilt,
or 30 years in prison.

And we've really
got to be careful.

I mean, the whole system's
got to be careful.

And my opinion and the
whole gist of our motion

is that she's been failed
by the legal system.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Joe Hobson
felt that Aileen had been poorly

represented by her previous
attorney, Dr. Legal.

-Most of us will
probably never worry

about spending time in jail.

But if you're ever involved in
the criminal justice system,

you will need a lawyer who can--

NICK BROOMFIELD: Joe Hobson was
hoping to get Aileen a retrial

by discrediting Dr. Legal,
otherwise known as Steve.

This is the Ocala
Courthouse, where

we were going to
spend the next week.

Steve the lawyer
had made no attempt

to investigate the cops.

He plead guilty
to all the murders

and didn't even try and make
a deal for lesser sentence.

Aileen had no money
to pay him, so Steve

used the money obtained
from interview fees.

This man in front of me
is the state prosecutor,

who wants to execute
Aileen immediately.

This is the first time I've
seen Steve for 11 years.

He said my film got
him run out of town.

-Fuck you.

-What?

-Fuck you.

Fuck you and the [inaudible].

-I'm like, what are you reading?

-Fuck you and your
documentaries.

-Well, nice to see you anyway.

-Don't talk to me.

-What?

-Don't talk to me.

BAILIFF [OFFSCREEN]:
All rise, please.

Circuit Court is
back in session.

-OK.

You may be seated.

All right.

Let's continue.

-Now, um, you were contacted
by Mr. Broomfield in 1992.

Do you recall specifically
charging, or attempting

to charge Mr. Broomfield
$25,000 for an interview?

-I didn't attempt to
charge anybody anything.

If Miss Wuornos asked me,
Steve, I-- or told me,

Steve, I want $25,000
for this interview,

I would have passed
that onto the person

who was interviewing.

But it's-- it's not my
position to, um, um,

set fees or we didn't
have a fee schedule.

-Will you admit at you're
depicted on the movie

"The Selling of a Serial
Killer" doing exactly that?

Trying to get $10,000-- or I
think $25,000 for an interview?

-There's-- there's-- I don't
think there's any evidence that

I tried to get
$25,000 or anything.

-So the next stage is really
to come up with a counteroffer?

-No, the next stage is
to come up with $25,000.

-Right.

NICK BROOMFIELD: We're
just talking to you about--

-But--OK.
OK.

Well, then--

DIANE WUORNOS [OFFSCREEN]:
Well then, do a counteroffer.

-If you're not, then the next
thing to do is to really get

a counteroffer and let's--
and let's tell her something.

-So we would basically then
pay the money to-- well,

we pay the money to you,
or to, as her legal--

-As her mom, and then Steve
gets a percentages as our agent.

-Right.

I see.

DIANE WUORNOS [OFFSCREEN]:
Very tiny percentage.

This poor man works for nothing.

-Nick, wait a second.

What's Davy Crockett
doing on the $100? bill?

Thank you, very much.

-Have you seen the-- Mr.
Broomfield's production,

"The Selling of
a Serial Killer?"

-Yes.

-OK.

And you've seen yourself
depicted in that movie?

-Yes, sir.

-Do you recall
joking in that movie

that your advice to any client
facing the electric chair was,

to quote Woody Allen,
don't sit down?

-I remember making a lot
of jokes in that movie.

-Judge, we're talking about
the depictions of Mr. Glazer

in the movie "The Selling
of a Serial Killer,"

that the defendant submits
fairly captures the essence

of his approach to
a representation,

which clearly impeaches
his claim that he had taken

this as an altruistic pro
bono national lawyer's

guild [inaudible].

It helps establish the claim
that all along his motive

in taking this case
was the publicity

and the money to be made.

NICK BROOMFIELD: I have to
say, I always liked Steve.

He was an old
hippy from Micanopy

who was just way
out of his depth.

-The only thing
really to do here

is to have breakfast
and then leave.

[all chuckle]

NICK BROOMFIELD: This is Dawn
Botkins, Aileen's best friend.

-What was that little
ditty you had about Ocala?

NICK BROOMFIELD: I really don't
believe Steve took the case

on for money, but he
was so inexperienced he

could only plead
guilty for Aileen.

He didn't even have a fax
machine or law office.

-When I was living in a
tepee in Micanopy, I had--

I went through the whole thing,
cows, chickens, geese, and--

DAWN BOTKINS [OFFSCREEN]:
I got all that.

--pigs.

I had a cow called
Sir Angus McBeef,

just so you know what
he's going to be.

You know, you try to
rationalize that you're

going into the
refrigerator, you're going--

and that was the last
meat I was able to eat.

DAWN BOTKINS
[OFFSCREEN]: I guess

you can look at it that way.

-Yeah.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Aileen lived
in a total fantasy world.

She thought she'd
get off the murders

and then live with this
woman, Arlene Pralle,

a born-again Christian who
had seen Aileen's picture

in the local newspaper
and had adopted her.

Together, they planned
to run a horse ranch

and raise she-wolves

Arlene Pralle, the
born-again Christian,

hired Steve and persuaded
Aileen to come clean with God

and plead guilty.

Steve had been advised
that Aileen was paranoid

and suffered from borderline
personality disorder,

but still went along with
this cockeyed scheme.

Aileen seemed to think
a miracle might happen,

and was outraged to receive
three more death sentences.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]:
I sentence you

to death for the murder of
Charles Humphreys, case number

91-112, Cypress
County case number.

I sentence you to death for
the murder of David Spears.

-Thank you.

And, I'll probably see you.

I'll be up in Heaven while
ya'll are rotting in hell.

I hope they get whipped in
the ass one of these days.

COURT OFFICIAL [OFFSCREEN]:
Fifth Circuit to handle that.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: OK.

There will be an
automatic appeal.

You have the right to an appeal.

Mr. Glazer is that
going to be handled

by you or the public defender?

-May your wife and
kids get raped--

-I would ask that you appoint
the public defenders office.

--right in the ass.

I know I was raped and you ain't
nothing but a bunch of scum.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]:
Therefore, these proceedings

are now concluded.

-Putting somebody who
was raped to death?

-All rise, please.
Court will be adjourned.

-You bunch of motherfuckers!

NICK BROOMFIELD: In many Death
Row cases, a client in despair

will say they want to die.

It was a measure of Steve
the lawyer's inexperience

that he took Aileen's
wish on face value.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: Sir, will
you come on up here, please?

NICK BROOMFIELD: I
like to flatter myself

that I was being asked
for my legal opinion.

But it turned out
I was there to talk

about Steve's marijuana smoking.

The big question was whether
Steve had consumed seven

very strong joints before giving
Aileen legal advice in prison.

-You know, I've got a short
video clip I want to show,

if I may.

It's an excerpt
from the film that

depicts this alleged
six, seven joint ride.

And as a preliminary
question, isn't it true

that in doing your work, you
routinely edit things, correct?

-Well, you always
edit afterwards, yeah.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
And editing

involves cutting and pasting
and putting things together.

-Mm-hm.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]: Correct?

-Yeah.

PROSECUTOR
[OFFSCREEN]: And that's

what you do all the time?

-Well, I don't know
about the pasting,

but you certainly can't.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
Pasting in terms

of inserting and connecting
and making things fit together.

-Correct.

-OK.

NICK [ON VIDEO]: It was 6 AM.

Steve said it was a seven
joint ride to the prison

and he brought along a
tape of his own music

with him singing and
playing all the instruments,

especially for the occasion.

[music playing on video]

-OK.

Let's go back.

You recognize that?

-Yes.

Apol--
-That's your work, isn't it?

-I apologize for the quality.

It's not a very good copy.

-But that's still your work?

-Yes.

-You notice that the shirt that
Mr. Glazer has on is white?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Uh-huh.

PROSECUTOR
[OFFSCREEN]: Now, here

he's got a blue
shirt on, correct?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Maybe
he changed his shirt.

I don't know.

I mean--

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
He had a blue shirt on.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And now
he's got a white one on.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
Now he's got a white shirt.

-Well, it's possible
he changed his shirt.

I've-- I've got--
maybe he put a clean

white shirt on for
the prison visit.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]: But
isn't it also possible that you

just cut and paste and took
footage from one episode

and cut and paste it into
another episode to make it look

like something that
hadn't, in fact, happened?

-Uh, I remember distinctly the--
I mean, the seven joint ride

if that's what
you're referring to.

I don't remember him
changing his shirt.

But we could-- if you want,
we can make all the outtakes

available from that
particular journey.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]: Well--

-Because they're
still available.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]: -that's
not very convenient right now.

And you hadn't made
those available before.

-Well, I didn't know
you wanted them before.

And I-- you know, I didn't
even know that the film was

going to be submitted
as evidence.

If I was making that
trip, I would probably

change my shirt at
the end of the trip.

I don't know about you.

-But that's not part
of my question, is it?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: I don't know.

But I would-- I
would probably bring

a clean shirt
along for my visit.

Wouldn't you?

I would.

-Keep in touch.

-Uh-uh, sir.

No, sir.

-Sorry.

Sorry.

-I got a message
that Aileen wanted

me to come meet her
at the local jail.

She had something to say.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
Thank goodness.

-Oh my, God.

-How are you?

-I'm doing good.

Get it out of there, Nick.

-I'm just trying to-- sorry.

-Ah, there.

Shoo!

-It was the microphone,
we're adjusting now.

Sorry about that.

-Oh, Lordy.

-All right.

-OK.

I can't believe this
microphone, how small it is,

you know, and it actually works.

-It actually works.

[aileen laughing]

-OK, Nick.

Nick, this-- this
interview, man.

I got to-- I-- I just-- let
me do this thing over one more

time because I know
you guys pre-tape

then you clip and stuff.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Right.

-So let me say it one more
time, kind of right, OK?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: OK.

-Because I'm really concerned
about the family members.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Right.

-I got to get my hair out of
my face while I'm doing this.

Because I'm really concerned
about family members, man.

So I want to say
this again over.

Nick, the reason I'm-- I'm
coming forth with you with this

interview is because I'd like
to come clean about my cases.

And because there's
only about a 1% chance

that a person can
get off Death Row.

And I come to realize that
that is actually true.

Very, very true.

There's only, like, about 82
people that got off Death Row

af-- in-- in like 30 years out
of like about 4,000 or 5,000

Death Row inmates, and those are
only DNA people, blood samples.

So the chances of getting
off Death Row are 1%.

99.9% you're going to be on
it and you're going to die.

OK, I cannot go in the
execution chamber and die

in the execution
chamber as a liar.

And I cannot go in
the execution chamber

and be executed under the devil.

I have to come clean
and clean-- cleanse

my spirit in the
name of Jesus Christ.

So I have to come clean
and tell the world

the lies that went
on through my mouth.

I mean, now
prosecutors and cops--

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And
that you killed seven men.

-Huh?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: That you
killed those men in cold blood.

-Yeah.

I got to come clean that
I killed those seven

men in first-degree
murder and robbery.

As they said, they had it
right, a serial killer.

Not so much like thrill kill.

I was into the robbing biz.

I mean, you know,
serial killers are

in this thrill killing jazz.

I was into the robbing just--
and eliminate a witness.

But still, again, I got a
number so it's serial killer.

But I'm coming clean before I
go in that execution chamber

and be executed
that I killed them.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And
so when you met them

from the beginning,
did you know that you

were going to kill them?

When they picked you
up in their cars?

-I pretty much--
I pretty much had

them selected that
they were going to die.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: But when
you're saying that there

was no self-defense, so
there was no self-defense?

-No.

There was no self-defense.

Uh, I'm being really
straight up about everything.

There's no self-defense.

I'm really sorry what
happened about everything.

I was in-- in
this-- this-- to me,

this world is nothing
but evil and all of us

are full of evil
one way or another.

And whatever we do,
we have evil in us.

All of us do.

And my evil just
happened to come out

because of the circumstances
of what I was doing.

Hitchhiking,
hooking, on the road,

I was a homeless
person all my life.

And then the hitchhiking
and hooking I

learned off the
homelessness and cruising

all over the United States
of America and stuff.

And so, learning how to be
a hooker as a hitchhiker

eventually got
tiring in the end.

I carried the gun
for protection,

but then I got where I
was getting a real problem

and our rent was
due, $1,200 behind.

Tyria was doing a lot of
beer-drinking and stuff.

She wanted to go
out all the time,

so she was burning up
the money I was making.

I was making good, about
$200 to $300 a day sometimes.

Sometimes $150.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
But did she-- and did

she know what you were doing?

-Oh, yeah.

Tyria always knew
everything I was doing.

-I met her in a bar.

NICK BROOMFIELD: This is
Aileen's great love, Tyria.

One of the reasons I had felt
so much sympathy for Aileen

was that she was betrayed
by those closest to her

all her life.

-We were sitting on
the floor watching TV

and she just come out and said
I have something to tell you.

And I asked her
what, and she said

that she had shot and
killed a man that day.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Tyria know
about the murders all along,

but didn't come
forward to say anything

until she was
questioned by police.

Tyria, who was never
charged with anything,

was then made a state's witness.

And, it has been asserted,
became part of the movie rights

package in the Hollywood
police film deal.

It was Tyria who got
Aileen to confess

in a series of
taped phone calls.

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: Hello.

OPERATOR [ON
RECORDING]: Miss Ty?

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: Yes.

OPERATOR [ON RECORDING]:
Collect call from Aileen.

Do you accept?
TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: Yes.

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: Yes.
TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: Hi.

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: Hey.

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]: Hey,
I had to call you early

because I didn't know if you
were going to leave today,

or what.

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: I don't--
what the hell's going on, Lee?

They've called.

They've been up to
my parents again.

They've got my sister
now asking her questions

and I don't know what
the hell's going on.

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]: Huh.

What are they asking your
sister questions for?

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]:
I don't know.

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]: Hmm.

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]:
Lee, Lee, listen.

They're coming after
me, I know they are.

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]: No,
they're not. [inaudible].

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]:
They've got to.

Then why are they asking
so many questions then?

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]:
Honey, listen.

Listen.

Listen.

Do what you gotta do, OK?

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]: I'm
going to have to because I'm not

going to go to jail for
something that you did.

This isn't fair.

My family is a nervous
wreck up there.

My mom has been calling
me all the time.

She doesn't know what
the hell's going on.

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]: OK.

Do what you gotta do, OK?

All righty?

Tyria?

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: What?

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]:
You-- I'm not

going to let you go to jail.

You hear me?

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]:
I don't know

whether I should keep on
living or if I should--

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]: No, Ty.

Ty, listen to me.

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: And
what if they don't believe me?

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]:
Tyria, listen to me.

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: What?

AILEEN [ON RECORDING]:
I'm not going

to let you go to
jail or anything.

Listen, if I have
to confess, I will.

TYRIA [ON RECORDING]: OK.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: So
you were very close?

-Yeah, we are.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: All right.

-And I still miss her
and I still love her.

And I really-- and I'm
really sorry about everything

I've done.

I miss Ty.

I lost Tyria over this.

And then the people
that lost their loved

ones and everything.

I really think first about the
people that lost their loved

ones and then Ty
second, because I

have to put them in first
on this whole thing.

I'm really sorry for, you know,
them losing their loved ones,

man.

I know the feeling.

-And what about with
Richard Mallory?

Because you gave that
testimony with Richard Mallory.

-Yeah, Richard Mallory
is definitely-- was not

self-defense.

Richard Mallory I killed in--
for he had-- uh, I needed

his wheels to move the stuff
and he had the right amount

of money I needed to move
into the apartment, so.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: But
what about the testimony

that you gave in court about--

-Oh, that's just--
like I was saying.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
About the Visine.

-Oh, I just doing a lying biz.

It was just my lying gig
to try to beat the system.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Really?

So that was really all--
none of it was true?

-And he said, it
doesn't matter to me.

Your bod-- your body will
still be warm for my huge cock.

And he said-- he was choking me
and I was holding it like this,

and he said, do you
want to die, slut?

And I just nodded no.

And then he said, are
you gon-- you going

to listen to everything I've
got to say, have you do?

And I'm just nodded yes.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
Then what happened?

-Takes the Visine and
he lifts up my legs

and he puts what turned
out to be rubbing alcohol

in the Visine bottle and he
sticks some up my rectum area.

And that really hurt
real bad, because he

tore me up for a while.

And he put some in my vagina,
which really hurt bad.

And then he walked around back
to the driver's seat-- side

and he pulled my nose open
like this-- pulled them open

and then he squirt rubbing
alcohol down my nose.

And he said, I'm saving your
eyes for the grand finale.

And he put the Visine
back on the dash

and I spit in his face.

And he said, you're
dead, bitch, you're dead,

and he was wiping his eyes.

And I laid down real quick
and I grabbed my bag.

And he was starting
to come for-- for me

when I grabbed my bag
and turn-- whipped

my pistol out toward him.

And he was coming toward me
with his right arm, I believe,

and I shot immediately.

And I think I shot twice
as fast as I could.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
Because in court,

you gave such a
graphic description

of what had happened
with Richard Mallory.

-Yeah, after sitting
around thinking

how I could drum up a story.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: That
was pretty convincing.

-Was it?

That's sad.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
Well, I thought so.

-God, that's sad.

Well--

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And it's
not-- and it's not that you just

decided that you wanted to die
and you wanted to get it over

and done with that you
changed your story?

-No.

The reason is, it's serious.

You-- there's no way-- nobody
should go in that execution

chamber dying on a hope for
a lie, and even by the second

make it out of this
thing on a lie.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
But I hear, you know,

that you just couldn't
stand being on Death Row

after 12 years.

-Nick, and that-- this is the
last time I'm going to say it.

You have to kill Aileen Wuornos
because she'll kill again.

NICK BROOMFIELD: I had always
believed that Aileen Wuornos

had acted in self-defense,
and that Richard Mallory,

her first victim, who had a
long history of sex crimes

and who had spent five years
in an institution for sex

offenders, had tortured and
tormented Aileen, pushing her

over the edge into
an insanity which

led to the other six murders.

This is what Aileen said
to Judge Uriel Blount

before the sentencing on
the Richard Mallory murder.

-What I did was what
anybody else would do.

I defended myself,
which everybody

has the right to
defend themselves.

And I had no intentions
of killing anyone.

I would not do that.

Not-- I'm not that
type of person.

NICK BROOMFIELD: But the
jury didn't go for it.

This was Aileen's
reaction on receiving

her first death sentence.

COURT OFFICIAL [OFF SCREEN]:
Count one, the majority

of the jury by a vote of
12-0, advise and recommend

to the court that it impose the
death penalty upon Aileen Carol

Wuornos, also known as
Susan Lynn Blahovec,

also known as Lori
Christine Grody,

also known as
Cammie Marsh Greene.

Dated at DeLand,
Volusia County Florida,

this 30th day of January 1992.

REPORTER [OFFSCREEN]: Hi, Lee.

How do you feel
about the verdict?

-Innocent.

And I was raped
and I was tortured.

And I-- they had
a steering wheel.

They took the steering wheel
and it had scratches all over it

and it was broken.

And it proved that I was
tied to that steering wheel.

And I cannot believe-- I
cannot believe what happened.

REPORTER [OFF SCREEN]: Why
did this jury find you guilty?

-I think it's the
media coverage.

It's a conspiracy.

NICK BROOMFIELD: I couldn't
believe what happened

the next day in court, Aileen
objecting to her own witnesses.

-Um, and-- and I need to get
this on record, if I could.

JUDGE [OFF SCREEN]:
She's taking it down.

-OK.

Uh, the-- there's some
witnesses that are coming.

JUDGE [OFF SCREEN]: Yes, ma'am.

-And I've already told my
attorneys on numerous occasions

these people did not
grow up with me at all.

Um, they lived in
the neighborhood,

but they didn't really
associate with me, my brother,

and my sister and
everybody else.

-Here's the only thing.

The attorney can
call them, but he

can't put on anyone he thinks
is, uh, committing perjury.

That's unethical
for him to do that.

If he thinks they're lying--
if he knows that they're lying,

he can't put them on.

-OK.

JUDGE [OFF SCREEN]: Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Judge?

JUDGE [OFF SCREEN]: Yes
ma'am--uh, yes, sir.

-May the defense request
a, uh, 10 minute recess?

JUDGE [OFF SCREEN]: Yeah, OK.

In view of-- OK, in view
of those statements.

-I need to confer
with my associates.

JUDGE [OFF SCREEN]: Of course.

Yeah.

OK, they want to take
10 minutes and confer

on what they want to say, OK?

-Yes, sir.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: All right.

We'll be recessed
for 10 minutes.

NICK BROOMFIELD:
Aileen was deliberately

sabotaging her own defense.

But the witnesses
were called anyway.

[background conversation]

NICK BROOMFIELD: Danny
Caldwell, like many

of the boys in the neighborhood,
lost his virginity to Aileen.

Aileen was trading blow
jobs for cigarettes

from the age of nine.

-I was just heading over there
to see who was there and got up

to the fort and the door was
kind of closed, so I, you know,

opened it up.

And Keith had-- Keith and
Mark had Aileen in there.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
What do you

mean that they had
Aileen in there?

-Well, they had her in
there and, you know,

she was naked and--

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
And-- and what was happening?

-Well, um, Keith was
having sex with her.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
Did you stay during that?

-Yes.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]: Did you
ever have sex with Aileen again

afterwards?

-Uh, just that day.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Jerry Moss,
who was a lover of Aileen's,

pretended in public he
didn't even know her.

-She-- she wanted us to be
boyfriend-girlfriend in public,

and I--

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
When-- when you were in public

around other kids, when the
rest of the kids were around,

how did you treat her?

-Like she was nobody.

Like she was dirt.

Like I had nothing to
do with her, you know.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
What would you say to her?

-Tell her, get the
fuck out of my face

and go some fucking place else.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
Would you call her any names?

-Call her ugly, bitch.

[deep sigh]

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]: If
she were following along

behind you, what would you do?

-It would, uh, depend on
who was with me or whatever.

But I'd turn around
and throw rocks at her

and tell her to get the
fuck out of there, go home.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
Why--why would you do that?

-Because I didn't want
to be seen with her.

I didn't want to be
associated with her.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]: Do you
know whether she was having

sexual relations with
anyone else at this time?

-Yes, I do.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
And who was that?

-Um, her-- her brother, Keith.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
Is that her uncle?

Or is that her
actual biological--

-That's her actual--
actual brother.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: I just want
to make sure that, you know.

-I just wanted to
remark that they need

to take a polygraph
on what their saying

because there's too
much perjury going on.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: All right.

NICK BROOMFIELD:
Michelle Chauvin

recalled an incident with
Aileen's grandfather.

-Raise your right hand.

-I don't know how much
you want me to say.

He was a bastard.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
Do you recall an incident

when you and Aileen
skipped school?

-Yes.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]:
What happened

when-- did you go to
Aileen's house with her?

-Um, I walked home with her
and we had gotten caught.

And I remember looking
through the front--

they had a screen door view.

And the minute she walked
in, he had her over a chair.

And I stood there
and watched him.

And he beat the hell out
of her with a black belt

that was around his waist.

He took it off and told
her to lean over the chair,

and walloped on her for
a good five minutes.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]: Was this
what you would call a spanking?

-Oh, no.

No.

It was like, I was--
it left me hypnotized.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]: Did
he know you were watching?

-Yeah, he did.

He was aware I was watching.

PROSECUTOR [OFFSCREEN]: Is that,
uh, just an example as to--

-That's an example, yes.

NICK BROOMFIELD: It had been
a long week, all the witnesses

stuck together in this motel.

-Do you think we'd
all go mad if we were

locked up here much
longer together?

-Well, I'm getting tired of it.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Dawn insisted
that gays hadn't been invented

when she and Aileen
first became friends.

-They weren't
invented or whatever.

There was no gay people.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: Well,
what were they all doing?

-They weren't gay.

There was no such thing as gay.

-They were in the closet.

-No they weren't There
was no such thing.

I don't remember a
person at school gay.

I didn't hear this gay
stuff until 10 years ago.

Well, maybe 15.

It's just now starting
to be acceptable.

But, no, there was not.

Was there gay people
when you went to school?

-I'm sure that
there probably were.

I went to a British
public school, there were

many-- that's where it was
invented, us and the Greeks,

you know?

-No way.

Really?

-Yeah, of course.

-I just have to do this.

Sorry.

Look!

Come on you guys.

NICK BROOMFIELD:
After all that, Aileen

decided to volunteer for
execution and we all went home.

Now that Aileen was confessing
to being a coldblooded killer,

Aileen found she had
a lot of new friends.

-Her appeals have
been exhausted.

She wants to meet her Creator.

She's on the list.

Absolutely.

REPORTER [OFFSCREEN]:
Governor Jeb Bush

is expected to sign
Wuornos' warrant soon.

NICK BROOMFIELD: We had all
come to this as witnesses,

hoping to get Aileen
off Death Row.

But it now felt like we were
taking part in an execution.

There was talk of
making an appeal

on the grounds of Aileen's
mental competence.

We traveled to Troy,
Michigan, where

Aileen grew up to find out more.

This is Dawn's house.

-Hi, Joan.

How are you?

I think about you a lot.

My kids just come over
with the grandbabies,

so you get to see them.

-Her granddaughter
and her grandson.

-How are you?

NICK BROOMFIELD: Dawn gets up
and writes to Aileen at 5 AM

every morning.

-I got looking for
one thing today,

so I figured while I
had Aileen's shit out,

you can sit here.

-What, all this?

-Yeah, and I got lots of
pictures of her brothers

and stuff like that, that
you might want to look at.

-Really?

-Well, yeah.

-All this?

-All this.

I was looking for her Will.

I couldn't find her Will.

-Her Will?

-Yeah.

OK, here you just
sit down for a while.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Aileen does
the most amazing ink drawings

that you can only see
against the light.

-It's because you can't see
them by looking down at them,

but it's perfect with
the sunlight outside.

See how that does that?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Wow.

Have you got any-- any pictures
of when she was quite young?

Ah.

-Isn't that kind of funny?

-That is funny, isn't it?

-Oh, that's her sister.

-That's--

-That's her graduation.

-That's Lori?

-Yeah.

That's what she looks like now.

NICK BROOMFIELD: There
were other photos, too.

Aileen aged four.

Her brother Keith, age six.

Aileen's biological
mother, Diane,

who abandoned Aileen when
she was six months old.

Aileen's father Leo, who
was convicted of kidnapping

and sodomizing an
eight-year-old boy.

He committed suicide in prison.

Aileen's grandfather Lowry, who
she called dad and is rumored

to be Aileen's
biological father.

He abused both Aileen
and her mother.

Aileen, aged 13,
when she got pregnant

and had a baby boy that
was put up for adoption.

After the baby, Aileen
became the local untouchable.

She spent two years
living in the woods

at the end of her street.

DAWN [OFFSCREEN]: Aileen used
to have a fort back here,

as a matter of fact.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: A fort?

DAWN [OFFSCREEN]: A fort.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: With Dennis.

DAWN [OFFSCREEN]: Uh, yeah.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: So Aileen
would just sleep rough?

DAWN [OFFSCREEN]: Mm-hm.

She would either
sleep in the cars

or she would go
around prostituting

at night to keep warm.

Stuff like that.

And, hopefully,
she'd get a hotel.

You know, some of these guys
would say we'll go get a hotel

and she could get a shower.

That's how she washed
and stuff like that.

Or she would go to
that gas station

up there, which is
still there by the way,

used to be the Clark.

That's-- we used to
go in there and pinch

our nose and drink what was it?

MALE [OFFSCREEN]: Boone's Farm.

-Peppermint schnapps.

It's disgusting.

It's the only way you could
drink it to get the quick buzz.

I know it sounds sickening,
it was sickening.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: But it must've
been freezing in the winter.

-Well, it was for her.

I didn't come out here
in the winter, I'm sure.

I don't think none of us did.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: She was
out here in the winter?

-Yeah.

That's why she left.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: So did the
other kids pick on her at all?

-Yeah.

Do you remember where we're at?

Yeah, they always picked on
her or she picked on them,

because they always
had something

terrible to say about her.

But that's because
she had a baby,

and they naturally assumed that
she-- well, she did get-- you

know, she slept with people
for money and all that.

So I imagine the
girls in our days

probably thought, well,
she sleeps with everybody

and they just didn't like that.

They don't think it's
funny now, though.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
How do you mean?

DAWN [OFFSCREEN]: I think it's
terrible how they treated her.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Now--

-And everybody all of a sudden
comes out of the woodwork

and said, oh, I was nice to her.

I gave her clothes
and stuff like that.

No they didn't.

NICK BROOMFIELD: We went
to visit Dennis Allen, who

lived in the woods with Aileen
and now lives in this house.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Hi.

-How are you?

-Hi.

How do you do?

I'm Nick.

-Nick?

Dennis.
-Hi.

How do you do?

-Hi.
JOAN [OFFSCREEN: Hi.

I'm Joan.

-Hi, Joan.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Hello.

-Hi.

-And who-- who are
these fine creatures?

-Oh, those are my birds.

That's, uh, Freckles and Freda.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
Freckles and Freda.

-Mm-hm.

NICK BROOMFIELD:
This is a picture

of Dennis, who used
to be a cross dresser.

Dennis looked out his
only picture of his time

in the woods with Aileen.

-Now, it was kind of
a mess around there.

In fact, the police
took this picture.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Oh, did they?

-That's how I got it.

Yeah, I don't know
if you can see--

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: What's it of?

-Let me see.

Well, this was when
they were subdividing.

They threw all the stumps
over in one section

and these were all
made with stumps

with straw packed in around.

This is where I slept.

It was just long enough
to get in there and sleep.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And so,
Aileen would come and visit you.

-Yeah.

Every now and then, she'd
find one of my camps and come.

In fact, the last camp I
was at when Aileen found

me was what we called
the little round lake.

It was way down at the bottom
of a gully and it was round.

And I had a piece of plywood
that somebody had left there

and I just made a
lean-to with two posts

and put that up on it.

And that was the
last place, in fact,

Aileen-- the last camp she
come that I had was that one.

NICK BROOMFIELD:
This is a picture

of Chief, the local pedophile.

He's thought to be the
father of Aileen's child.

Chief later committed suicide.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: He was like
this bit of a strange old man,

wasn't he?

-Kind of, yeah.

A lot of people thought he was.

But they were a gathering
place there for kids

because they had
kids from everywhere

that came there all the time.

And I remember when
I was little, see,

Chief would want to pick kids
up and put them on his lap

and he'd talk and tell
them about this and that.

And I never would allow
it because I just-- he

kind of freaked me a little bit.

I can remember one time he had
some chicken eggs because he

had chickens and all
this kind of thing,

and he'd pick them open when
they were ready to hatch.

And I couldn't stand
it, him doing that.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
He'd pick them open?

-He would pick the
shells open as they

were trying to come through.

He would pick them open and
it would be too early for them

still, you know.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
And they'd die?

-A lot of times they would.

They weren't really ready
to come out of there yet.

They wouldn't live.

-They're still there.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Michelle
drove us to Aileen's old home.

They grew up as
Vietnam was ending

and drugs were everywhere.

-Aileen's house is
right over there.

You want to go by it?

-Yeah.

-OK.

I'll take you by it.

This was Mark Farron's house.

We are all connected together.

We all used to hang
in the neighborhood.

You know, all the
kids packed together.

This was Terry Cox'
house right here.

Um, she used to
do a lot of drugs

with [bleep] who lived
in this little white one.

This is Aileen's
house right here.

This is it.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
That's it there?

-That's it.

This is her house.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And when
you saw her being beaten.

DAWN [OFFSCREEN]: Ah,
that door right there.

I was in front of that door.

See, they've redid
the house since then.

But that room in the
very back is her bedroom.

Not the first one, but
the one in the back.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And
that's where she was being--

DAWN [OFFSCREEN]: Yeah.
This one.

The second window.

And see how low they are?

She used-- she used to
climb right out of them.

If somebody sees us in there,
they will come out and raise

hell, because I'm--
Corey was with

me when that happened last time.

And [bleep] lived right here.

And they were druggies also.

We used to hang together and go
over there and smoke pot and do

what not and get in
all kinds of shit.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: But
lots of different drugs?

-Yes!

Lots of, um, pills actually.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Pills?

-LSD, mescaline, blotter acid.

Um--

NICK BROOMFIELD: Aileen, age 16,
left Michigan and traveled down

here to Florida looking
for sun and friends.

She was young and pretty,
earning good money as a hooker,

but with a violent temper
and soon in trouble.

She knocked one
man out with a beer

bottle, another with
a billiard ball.

She particularly liked it
here near Daytona Beach.

This is one of the
motels, the Fairview,

where she frequently stayed.

It was all so new and exciting.

Just down the road is
the Last Resort biker

bar, where Aileen
liked to hang out.

She was allegedly great
friends with the Human Bomb.

[all counting together]

-3, 2, 1.

[explosion]

[cheering and applause]

-How do you feel?

-Real dizzy right now.

Real dizzy.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Did
you know Lee well?

-Yeah.

Uh, can I talk to
ya'll in a few minutes?

I gotta walk this off.

NICK BROOMFIELD: After
Keith, her brother,

died of cancer at age 21,
Aileen surprised everyone

by marrying this man, Lewis
Fell; who was 76 years old

and President of the
Keystone Coal Company.

But after only a month, Lewis
filed for restraining charges

after Aileen beat Lewis
with his own walking stick.

In her late 20s,
Aileen gave up on men

and started dating women.

Here's Tyria, who
became Aileen's family.

They lived together
for over three years.

This was one of
the homes they had.

Aileen saw herself
as a kind of Bonnie

and Clyde character on the
run with her lover, Tyria.

Aileen and Tyria's
favorite pastime

was drinking beer and firing
their pistols in the woods.

Aileen got books on
being a survivalist.

She wanted Tyria all to herself.

Tyria described
Aileen as a fantasist,

who became jealous
and possessive,

and who could be
violent and frightening.

In the end, Tyria ran off as
the police were closing in.

In loneliness and
desperation, Aileen

ended up with this
man, Dick Mills.

-This is that paper
you're talking about?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Yeah.

It's-- it's called "My Sex
Romps with Kinky Mankiller."

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Dick
had sold his story

to the "News of the World."

-All I want to know is, who's
the best lawyer out there, man,

to sue them for this trash?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Can I quote--

-I never even talked that shit.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Can
I quote you a bit?

And get-- if you
said this, right?

We were lying in bed one
night when she started talking

about her favorite
sexual fantasies.

She said she often got
turned on by imagining

she had a black
hood over her head

and was tied to a
tree in a forest.

Then a guy would come up, rape
her, and shoot her in the head.

She said the actual killing
would make her climax.

I was real sickened
by what she said.

-Wrong.

Wrong.

There's partial truth to that.

But most of that, I don't
know where it came from

or who got it or
nothing about it.

And you can check
any film anywhere

in the country or
anybody that's got it.

I never said that, OK?

It goes along the lines that she
told me one time that the idea

was that she'd like
to lay in bed out

in the middle of the
forest, the woods

or somewhere in the
mountains or something.

Have a hood over her
head or something,

and somebody crawl in
through the window.

No-- they had the
hood on or something,

and would rape or this
and that kind of shit

and she'd like that.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
I mean, did you--

-As far as all these other
things go pertaining to it,

there's no reality to it.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Did
you get any feeling

that she hated men, or?

-No, I just got the feeling
she is what she was, a dyke.

Except I didn't know
she was a killer.

There's no way I
could know that.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
I mean, could you

tell that when you
made love to her, or?

-Nah, not particularly.

She just probably
liked it either way,

whatever came along.

Didn't really seem
to matter much.

It's just another
bad experience,

I'm sure, for both of us.

NICK BROOMFIELD:
This is Aileen when

first charged with the murders.

It was just after the
phone conversations

with Tyria that had
led her to confess.

What Aileen didn't know was that
Tyria, herself, was involved

in movie discussions
involving Florida State

Police and production
companies in Hollywood.

They were selling
her story, the story

of America's first
female serial killer.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]:
You understand

the nature of the charges?

-Yes, I do, sir.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: Do you wish
to be represented by counsel?

-Yes, I do.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: Can you
afford to hire an attorney?

-No, sir.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: Do you work?

-No.

I'm in jail.

How can I work?

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: Well,
obviously you're not working

now, but how long has it been
since you've last worked?

-Oh, about, um, '84, possibly.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]: You haven't
worked in six or seven years?

How do-- how do you
support yourself?

-I was a special call girl.

NICK BROOMFIELD: When Sergeant
Brian Jarvis, who is now

police chief in New York
State, objected to these movie

discussions, he was taken
off the Wuornos case.

-Right, I was
actually transferred

back into the patrol division.

It had followed a month
of continual harassment

on the job in the current
position I was in,

which ultimately started when
Captain Binegar had realized

that I found out about their
plan to work with Tyria Moore

in obtaining a movie
rights package.

NICK BROOMFIELD: The
state attorney's report

found that three of Jarvis'
fellow officers, Captain

Binegar, Sergeant Munster,
and Major Dan Henry

were involved in movie
discussions with Tyria Moore

after Aileen's arrest.

-Yeah, ultimately when
the--when the arrest came,

Lee Wuornos was charged
with the murder and Tyria

Moore was not charged
with anything.

But she was made
a state's witness

and she was working with
these fellow officers

on obtaining movie rights.

NICK BROOMFIELD: This note
was them pinned under Sergeant

Jarvis's back door
and his home burgled.

-Less than a month
later, on November 25,

my wife had gone out to the
post office and the store

during daylight hours, like
10 o'clock in the morning.

When she came home, the
house had been broken into.

The doors were ajar.

She went up to my office
and all of the files

on the Wuornos case,
on the investigators,

and all the information
I had had been trashed.

Nothing else had been
touched in the house.

REPORTER [OFFSCREEN]:
How do you feel, Aileen?

-Bust these crooked cops and
their conspiracy, please!

REPORTER [OFFSCREEN]:
Are you afraid, Aileen?

-I'm innocent.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Aileen
was right about the cops

and their movie deals.

But in her paranoia, she also
believed that the police had

known about the first murder
but allowed her to become

a serial killer,
because then they'd

get more money for
their film deals.

Aileen's lawyers are
challenging the execution

on the grounds of her
mental competence.

Not that executing insane
people seems to be a problem.

In 1989, the Supreme
Court ruled it was not

unconstitutional to execute
the mentally impaired.

Aileen's paranoid delusions have
gotten much worse on Death Row.

She now believes her
mind is being controlled

by radio waves
beamed into her cell.

-Aileen Wuornos says her
food is being tainted

and she's being
threatened with rape.

-CBS 4's Joan Murray is live in
Fort Lauderdale with the story.

John Joan.

-Well, now she has
written a 25-page letter

where she names names, names
security-- or rather guards

at the prison where she
was being held in Pembroke

Pines accusing them of harassing
her while she awaits execution.

-And I need some-- an attorney,
like a private attorney

to oversee my well-being
until my execution.

Maybe that would keep
things kind of in line

because there's a lot
of illegalness going on.

NICK BROOMFIELD: It's
actually pretty hard

to help Aileen, who by
now, not surprisingly,

doesn't trust anyone.

And she's threatening
to fire her lawyer

if he continues to try
to fight the execution.

Dawn told Aileen about
our visit to Troy.

And Aileen asked
for the opportunity

to put the record straight
about her childhood.

-All right.

Yep.

Will-- will you let
me know when she is?

OK.

You don't have any secret
cameras in your belt, do you?

-Oh, no.

I just have this rather
large one right here.

[INDISTINCT YELLING FROM
INMATES]

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Hello.

-Hello!

Hey, how you doing?

Good to see you.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Hi.

It's good to see you.

-Hi, Nick.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
Hi, how are you?

-I'm doing all right.

How you doing?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Good.

-Check out the orange shirt.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Wasn't it
orange-- wasn't it orange

before?

-No, they changed it.

It was-- there-- they
got this new thing

to wear the orange
shirt out for Iraq

or wherever-- whenever
you get out of your cell,

like-- like Death Row
has never escaped.

Nobody on Death Row has
ever escaped, right?

And they're acting like we're
escape risks or something.

-What-- what it's like
being here all the time?

-What's it like being in here?

Well, here it's OK.

It's all right.

But, you know, you
have your problems

with some staff don't like you--

[laughs]

Oh, you're a serial killer,
you know, biz and stuff.

And so they-- you
know, some staff

won't treat you right
because of who you are.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Have
you got any friends?

-You can't be in
control of everybody.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Have you
got any friends here at all?

-No, I stick to myself.

I just stick in-- in
the cell with myself.

I don't even care
about going outdoors.

There's nothing out there.

I don't smoke anymore, so.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: So
what's you're day like?

How does it start?

-I spend 24/7 in the cell
watching TV, reading the Bible,

writing letters to Dawn.

Um, sitting around doing a
lot of thinking, preparing.

Think-- memory-- going
back in time, memory

of all-- everything I've
been through in my life

and then just
preparing for my death.

Get all the tears out of
me and stuff so I won't cry

and that sort of jazz, you know.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
So you won't cry?

-Because it is going to be a
little bit tough when I go.

Huh?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Getting
all the tears out of you?

-Yeah.

Because I just don't want to be
in the execution chamber crying

my eyes out, and
I'm not going to.

I'm going to tough it
out as tough as I can.

Just lay on the table, give
everybody a little smile,

and close my eyes and go.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
With Richard Mallory,

he was the first
that you killed?

-Mm-hm.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Did
he abuse you or not?

Because in the court you
said that, you know--

-Aw, see, I'm not going to
go into the-- wait a minute.

Ow.

No, I won't go in-- I
won't go into the murder.

I won't go into the murders
if it was self-defense or not.

I'm not going into
any of the murders.

Whether or not they died
in self-defense or what,

I'm not going to say.

I'm not saying nothing.

My concern-- the only reason
I'm doing interviews for anybody

or anything-- my concern
is there's-- you've got law

enforcement out there
allowing people to die.

You got those 50 men in
Canada-- I mean, those 50

women in Canada that
died, I'm sure the cops

knew who the guy was.

They're letting them kill.

They want to turn them
into high-profile cases

for books and movies.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Well, what
was it-- so what was it--

NICK BROOMFIELD: I
wondered how Aileen,

herself, viewed her
childhood in Troy.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: -quite
nice living there?

-Yeah.

Troy's all right.

Oh, and I want to straighten
out something, man.

See-- hey, Nick, I've got to
get this straightened out.

See, the cops lied about my
family, Jackie, Drew, and them.

They all lied about my--

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Well, how
did they lie about your family?

-Because see-- OK,
now I got-- see,

I got-- if this
documentation, I got

to square some stuff up here.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: OK, so
tell me about your family.

-OK.

The truth about
my family is this.

My dad was so straight and
so clean he wouldn't even

wear-- take his shirt
off to mow the lawn.

He did not believe in cussing.

He did not believe
in-- in, uh, long hair

and mini skirts and stuff.

He was really straight,
really decent.

And so was my mom.

My mom hated swearing
in the house.

If you swore-- if you
said one swear word,

you had a whole bar of
Lava soap in your mouth.

So I came from a real
clean and decent family.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
But why, then, did

you get thrown out
after the birth?

-See, after my mom died-- after
my mom died, my dad got pissed.

He's like, OK, this is
the last straw, you know?

I think you are the
cause of mom's death

because she had physical
problems that-- because of all

the stress and the pain and
suffering and everything.

And what I'm going through as
a wild kid is pissing him off.

I mean, he thinks that that
killed her as well, induced

her death, and so
he's pissed off.

And he doesn't want
me home anymore.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And how--
how did it feel, like,

having to live in cars and
in other people's house?

-It was living hell.
That's why I went to Florida.

[aileen laughs]
NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Living hell?

-Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, you know,
sleeping in the snow.

I mean, sleeping in snowy
weather in a vehicle

on cinder blocks
at Richie's house.

Sleeping in it with no blank-- I
think I had one blanket and one

pillow and it's
ice cold outside.

That's when I said,
well, I got to go.

I got it down to
Florida or something

now, because I was
sleeping in the snow.

Out in the woods sleeping
on the ground in the snow.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: You
must have been frozen.

-I was frozen, man.

Yeah.

I still got marks where my
toes are blue to this day,

and the bottom of
my feet are blue.

And this is probably why I even
got my hands like this today.

I don't know.

My hands are-- as
you can see, they're

like they're frostbit looking.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And how
were the other kids, though?

-How-- the other kids?

They were all living
in their houses.

[aileen laughs]

While I was out on the streets.

But that's all right, man.

Because, see, I
lived through it.

I survived.

I went down to Florida.

And then I could--
you know, started

trekking all over the United
States of America and stuff.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Aileen,
let me ask you one question.

Do you think if you hadn't
had to leave your home

and sleep in the
cars and stuff it

would have worked
out differently?

-Now, if I could do
my life all over again

and I came from a background
of a family that was right

on, where-- I-- I mean,
my family was right on.

When I was thinking that I meant
as far as my mom not dying,

my dad not freaking out, and
us-- if I could do it all over

again, my family died too
young, I had to hit the road.

And I came from a family
that was supportive,

we didn't have split
sister-- half-sister

and brother stuff and all that.

It was all true blood,
real blood and everything

was financially stable and
everybody was really tight,

I would have became more than
likely an outstanding citizen

of America who was--
who would have either

been an archaeologist, a
paramedic, a police officer,

a fire department gal, or an
undercover worker for DEA,

or arch-- did I say archaeology?

Or-- oh, or a missionary.

Because I believe in God, but
I'm not a Christian freak.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: So
you think it would've--

-And so scrub missionary,
because I'm just-- I'm

just thinking what-- you know,
I would've came from a decent,

I would've done it
real decent and stuff.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Let
me ask you something.

What-- what do you think was
the single most happy time

in your life?

What-- what do you think
you've enjoyed most?

[aileen sighs]

-Nick, I've been through
so much hell I can't even

think of something
there right now.

And I'm so burning
fucking mad about how I'm

being-- I got to wait
for my execution!

I want to get in the fucking
chamber tomorrow and leave.

And then they play--
since-- since I waved off,

I've had nothing but
psychological and physical

fucking problems playing
with it because I'm

on hold with my execution.

I'm so fucking mad I
can't see straight.

And they're just daring
me to kill again.

They got me pissed.

United States Supreme Court, you
fucking-- I'm telling you, man!

You motherfuckers keep fucking
with my goddamn execution,

there's going to be bloodshed.

I'm sick of this!

Get that fucking warrant signed.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Aileen waited
until she thought we weren't

filming to talk
about the murders.

AILEEN [OFF CAMERA]:
I can't do it.

I would never be able to handle
a life sentence or anything.

And then they've said other
things that are really crazy.

They do crazy things to people
while they're incarcerated.

I'd never be able to handle
it, so I'm going for the death.

I have to because
they're too evil.

They're too evil to
people incarcerated.

And they're too
evil on the cases.

They're so corrupt it's not
funny, so I've got to go down.

I have to.

That's why I can't say
nothing about self-defense

on tape or anything.

-But was it self-defense?

AILEEN [OFF CAMERA]: Huh?

-Was it self-defense?

AILEEN [OFF CAMERA]: What?

-Was it self-defense?

AILEEN [OFF CAMERA]: What?

-Was it self-defense.

AILEEN [OFF CAMERA]: Yes,
but I can't tell anybody.

Never.

I have to go down
to the execution.

They're too corrupt.

They-- they-- they
stick together.

Hand over fist,
hand in glove, man.

-So, it was self--

AILEEN [OFF CAMERA]: Let's see.

Hand-- hand over
fist, friend in glove.

-So was-- wasn't there
any self-defense?

AILEEN [OFF CAMERA]: Yeah.

And so was some others.

But there's nothing
I can do about it.

All they'd do is give me
an overturned sentence.

They would never
do me righteous.

You see what I'm saying?

Never do me right.

They'll only fuck
me over some more,

so I can only go to the death.

-You know, I'm going to always
remember you and love you.

-Yeah, Aileen.

-I love you so much, man.

Take care of yourself.

-All right.

-And nice meeting you.

Take care.
-Nice to meet you.

Take care.

-Goodbye, Aileen.

Bye.

-See you later!

NICK BROOMFIELD:
Six months later,

this announcement was made.

REPORTER [OFFSCREEN]:
Governor Jeb Bush signs

death warrants
scheduling executions.

44-year-old Aileen Wuornos
is one of the nation's

first known female
serial killers.

She will be executed October
9 for the murders of six men.

Wuornos has dropped
all of her appeals.

-I did it because, uh, I
believe in the death penalty

and I have a duty to
implement the law.

And a great majority
of Floridians

want their governor to do this.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Jeb Bush
is running for reelection

on a law and order pro
death penalty ticket.

Aileen's execution
date for October 9

fits him perfectly, a month
before these elections.

Brad Thomas, Jeb Bush's
political adviser,

is reported as saying, we want
to become more like Texas.

Bring in the witnesses, put
them on a gurney, and let's

rock and roll.

We're driving to
meet Diane Wuornos,

Aileen's biological mother.

They haven't laid eyes
on each for 25 years.

This is Calumet, a
copper mining town

on Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

The Wuornos family
originally came here

as immigrants from Oulu in
Finland to work down the mines.

-OK, let me fix my pillow again.

OK, I want to tell you, I'm
probably going to cry a little.

I want to tell you
something about her birth.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: OK.

-She was a frank breech birth,
that means bottom first.

And a breech birth
is very dangerous.

And that's feet first, and a
frank breech, bottom first,

is really very bad.

The doctor even
called in other people

to watch it because
it was so unusual.

But I thought maybe that she
got some kind of brain damage

during that birth.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Yeah.

-And that may have cau-- while
she's mentally competent,

it may have caused her problems.

What does Aileen
think about what

caused her to act like that?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
Well, originally,

she said she did
it in self-defense.

And then she said she
just needed the money.

And she says that
if she'd, you know,

come from a home that
wasn't split and--

-Oh, because her-- her father
and me getting a divorce.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: I--
she didn't say that.

But I think, um, I
think she's confused.

Because she, on
the one hand, says

she-- says it had nothing
to do with her childhood.

But then on the other
hand, she was sleeping out

in the snow for a while
and living in the woods.

-She was sleeping in the
snow and living in the woods?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Mm-hm.

Immediately after
she had the baby.

-I know nothing about that.

I never heard
Barry tell me that.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
After she had the baby,

she couldn't-- she
couldn't move back

into the house with your father.

-Yeah.

-Then she was living in
the woods in the snow.

-Didn't agenc-- agency find her
and take-- take care of her?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: No.

And then she ended up, you
know, hitchhiking around.

-Which she liked.

Do you know the exact
date of the execution?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
I think it's soon.

-OK.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: I
think it's very soon.

-I think I'll rest better.

NICK BROOMFIELD:
As we were leaving,

Diane asked for
Aileen's forgiveness.

I heard Aileen just
fired her lawyer.

I drove to Stark, Florida,
where the execution will happen.

And to meet Dawn, who's doing
the funeral arrangements.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
So what does Aileen

want to wear, again,
for the execution?

-Um, a black Harley
Davidson t-shirt

with wings, because she
believes she's earned her wings,

which she has.

A pair of jeans.

A pair of boots with,
um, corner toes.

And a military belt.

I think that's it actually.

She might have something
else on that, I don't know.

Probably a leather
jacket if I know Aileen.

I know if she can or not, but.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: No other
wishes that she make?

-You mean to be-- afterwards?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Mm-hm.

-To be cremated and
come home to my house,

be around the people
that love her.

Why would she want
to stay in Florida?

Hmm-mm.

She's coming home to Michigan.

NICK BROOMFIELD:
Aileen's ex-lawyer

made a last minute plea
to stop the execution.

But Jeb Bush was not
going to be stopped.

-Based on his concerns,
uh, we're going to, um,

ask three psychiatrists to,
um, analyze her to make sure

that she's fit
for the execution,

which is a duty that I have.

And I intend to do it.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Jeb
ordered a stay of execution,

but guess what?

His psychiatrists examined
Aileen for just 15 minutes,

and then gave the
thumbs up to go ahead.

-Lynn Gordon is in our newsplex
now with the latest details.

Lynn.

-Laurie, we have just learned
that Governor Jeb Bush has

lifted the stay of execution for
serial killer Aileen Wuornos.

She has been found to
be mentally competent.

That means she will be
executed next Wednesday.

NICK BROOMFIELD: Aileen's
given up the opportunity

to do a mass press
conference and has

asked me to do her
last interview.

I'm sure that's because
she wants me to communicate

her ideas about what she
calls the crooked cops.

The last interview,
dumb rules like I've

got to stand behind this rope.

There'll be 15 guards, including
the warden, in attendance.

And Aileen, for no
good reason, will

wear shackles throughout
the interview.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
She-- is he on her way?

-Pardon?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Is
she on her way, or?

-Not yet.

NICK BROOMFIELD: It's
been proven that the death

penalty is absolutely
no deterrent.

States without the
death penalty, in fact,

have lower murder rates.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Hi, Aileen.

Hi.

-Hi.

You know, I already
told you everything,

so you know, you just go
ahead and ask me questions.

And if I want to answer
them, I'll answer them, OK?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: OK.

So-- so I-- I guess, you know,
I was just wondering how you're

going to be, you know,
at 9:30 tomorrow morning?

Are you prepared?

-I'm prepared.

I'm all right.

I'm all right with it.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And how--

-I'm all right with it.

But, like I said,
remember and tell--

let them know that I know
that the cops knew who

I was after Richard
Mallory died.

I left prints everywhere and
they covered it and let me kill

the rest of those guys to
turn me into a serial killer.

I know they did because I was
no professional serial killer

or anything, murderer or
whatever you want to call it.

Wasn't specialize,
what I was doing.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: So,
Aileen, how--how--

-Did some sloppy work, you
know, and I left prints.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
-how have you prepared

yourself for tomorrow morning?

-How?

I'm all right with it.

Hey, I'm ready to go.

Hey, I was tortured at BCI.

They had-- they had the
intercom on in the room

and they kept lying
that it wasn't on.

And they were using sonic
pressure on my head since 1997.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
Sonic pressure?

-And every time I was
trying to write something,

they-- and I think they had
some kind of eye in the cell,

I'm not sure.

But every time I started writing
something, it went up higher.

So I'm thinking that they
probably had the TV rigged.

The TV or the mirror or
something was rigged.

They got a huge satellite
on the compound.

After they put the huge
satellite on the compound,

it could have been either rigged
to the TV set or the mirror

or something, because the
electrician, when he put

the mirror on the wall,
he said, doesn't that

look like a computer?

The back of it, and he
stuck it to the wall.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And do you--
did that affect your mind,

do you think?

-Huh?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
Did that affect

your mind in some
way, the sonic?

-It was crushing i my head in.

They were using sonic
pressure continually.

Then when I had three meetings
with Miss Villacorta on it,

every meeting I
had she increased

the pressure of the
volume of the com,

increased the
harassment on the floor,

increased the trays
being inedible.

Just increased every
bit of my complaints

and trashed all grievances.

They're trying to make it look
like I was crazy at all times,

rig up the room with torture.

If I said anything
about-- their whole--

I think their whole plan was to
try and make it look like I was

totally crazy and so nobody
wouldn't believe anything

I had to say about anything.

And then drive me
there, if they could.

I suffered so bad.

I was really
struggling to survive.

Had a lot of trays
that were attempted

murder and everything.

I had to wash all my food off.

And then one day, I
didn't wash my food off

and I was sick for three
weeks, almost died.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
But you're OK now?

-I'm OK.

I'm OK.

God is going to be there.

Jesus Christ is
going to be there.

All the angels and everything.

And, you know, whatever--
whatever's on the beyond.

I think it's going to be
more like "Star Trek,"

beaming me up into a
space vehicle, man.

Then I move on, recolonize to
another planet or whatever.

But it's-- whatever's beyond,
I know it's going to be good

because I didn't do anything
as wrong as they said.

I did the right thing.

And I saved a lot
of people's butts

from getting hurt and
raped and killed, too.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: So are
you saying that you killed

in self-defense or
in-- in cold blood?

What do-- what do-- because
you've changed your story.

I'm just trying to--

-What are you ta--
talking about?

Changed the story on what?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
No, about whether it

was self-defense or not.

-I'm not going to
say in-- I'm not

going to get into depth
about my cases, Nick.

I'm on my way to the chamber.

Nothing's stopping it.

You can believe it or you
don't have to believe it.

That's up to you, man.

Put a big question
mark on your film.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Just
before we came here,

we met with your-- with
your mother, Diane.

-You met with my
brother and Diane?

I could give a--

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
Your--your mother.

-Oh.

My mother, Diane, let
me tell you something.

She plopped me out of her belly,
left me with my grandparents,

and we never knew her.

So tell that damn whore I could
give a fuck if she even had me.

She had me and left to Texas.

And my mom, my dad, Barry,
Keith, Lori, all of us

never saw her ever again,
accept at funerals.

My mom's funeral,
my dad's funeral,

and my brother's funeral.

And if she's at mine, sp-- I'll
probably be spitting on her.

I could care less.

I don't give a damn
about that whore.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Well,
she-- she ask you--

-I don't know her!

I never even knew her.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: She asked
you for your forgiveness.

-She can go to hell.

She doesn't have any
of my forgiveness.

I don't know-- I
don't even know her,

don't even want to know her.

My only interview concerns are
about cops letting me kill.

So if you don't
ask me about that,

I'm going to cut this interview.

Ask me about the cops.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: What do--
I mean, what more is there

to-- what more is there
to say about the cops?

What more do you want
to say about the cops?

-A lot of stuff.

Did you know that they were
surveilling me before I killed,

and that I knew it?

And that was covered up.

Did you know there was
helicopters dropping down

from the sky, deputy sheriff
with decoys picking me up four

or five months before my arrest?

It was covered up?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
But nonetheless--

-Nobody ever asked
me these questions.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: -whether the
cops were following you or not,

Aileen--

-Oh, whether the cops
were following me or not,

Aileen, what?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
OK, let's say--

let's say the cops
were following you.

-Yeah.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Let's say
they were following you--

-Uh-huh.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: -and
they did everything that

you're-- you're saying they did.

-Uh-huh.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Nonetheless,
you killed seven men.

-Yeah, sure did.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
And I'm asking you

what got you to
kill the seven men?

-And I'm telling you because the
cops let me keep killing them,

Nick.

Don't you get it?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Not everybody
is killing seven people,

so there must have
been something in you

that was getting you to do that.

-Oh, you are lost, Nick!

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: So explain.

-I was a hitchhiking hooker!

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Right.

-Running into trouble,
I shoot-- shoot

the guy if I ran into trouble.

Physical trouble.

The cops knew it.

When the physical
trouble came along,

let them-- let her
clean the streets

and then we'll pull her in.

That's why.

JUDGE [OFFSCREEN]:
But how come there

was so much physical
trouble and just--

because it was all in one year.

Seven people in one year.

-Oh, well.

Oh, well.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]:
But why not say now?

-Because I'm-- out of
retaliation for taking my life

like this and getting rich
off it all these years

and-- and total
pathological lying.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

I lost my fucking
life because of it.

Couldn't even get a fair trial.

Couldn't even get a fair
investigation or nothing.

Couldn't even have
my appeals right.

You sabotaged my ass, society,
and the cops and the system.

A raped woman got
executed and was

used for books and
movies and shit.

Ladder climbs, re-election,
everything else.

I got to flip the finger in
all your faces, thanks a lot.

You're inhuman-- you're an
inhumane bunch of fucking

living bastards and
bitches, and you're

going to get your
asses nuked in the end.

And pretty soon it's coming.

2019, Iraq's supposed
to hit you anyhow.

You're all going to get nuked.

You don't take fucking
human life like this

and just sabotage it and rip it
apart like Jesus on the cross

and say, thanks a lot
for all the fucking

money I made off of ya.

And not care about a human
being and the truth being told.

Now I know what Jesus
was going through.

I've been trying
to tell the truth

and I keep getting stepped on,
concerned about if I was raped,

if I-- I'm not giving you
m-- book and movie info.

I'm giving you info for
investigations and stuff

and that's it.

We're going to have cut
this interview, Nick.

I'm not going to go
into anymore detail.

I'm leaving, I'm glad.

Thanks a lot society
for railroading my ass.

OK, let's go.

You dirty son of a bitches.

Took a raped woman and sent her
to-- well, you sent her to God.

But you're going to get
your nuke someday soon.

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: Hey, Aileen?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

-Nice try, Nick.

And thanks a lot.

NICK BROOMFIELD: It was
really pretty incredible

that Aileen had just sailed
through the psychiatric tests

the day before.

It makes you wonder what you
would have to do to fail.

Later that night, Dawn met
Aileen for her last meal,

Kentucky Fried Chicken
and french fries.

She was limited to a $20 budget.

-She's sorry, Nick, that she--
she didn't give you the finger.

She gave the media
the finger, and then

the attorneys the finger.

She didn't give you
the, uh, finger.

And she knew if she said
much more that it could make

a-- make a difference on
her execution tomorrow.

So she just decided not to.

OK?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: They
thought-- she thought they

might not execute
her if she said--

-Yeah.

She's afraid-- she's
afraid of something

jeopardizing her ex-- you
know, execution in the morning.

OFFICER [OFFSCREEN]:
Keep going, ma'am!

Don't stop!

[muffled pa announcements]

-At 8 o'clock, time ticking
away for serial killer Aileen

Wuornos.

-Her date with death set for
about 90 minutes from now,

7's Patrick Fraser
is live in Raiford

as her sentence is
about to be carried out.

Good morning, Patrick.

-Christina, in an
hour and a half

exactly Aileen Wuornos will
be injected with a poison.

Within about two minutes, she
will begin to stop breathing.

Now, it's tough to say who will
be happier that she is dying,

the families of the victims
she brutally murdered

or Aileen Wuornos.

-We did wake her up at 5:30.

She, uh, um, requested
a towel and wash cloth

to wash her face and freshen up.

And she is very
calm this morning.

Not-- not as talkative as
she has been in the past.

NICK BROOMFIELD: It was hoped
Aileen would confess all

to a priest before
execution, but she remained

angry and defiant
to the very end.

Aileen sent the priest
packing, and then knelt down

and prayed for her
victims, believing

they might be too evil
to be accepted by God.

--talk about dying and--

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: She did
talk about dying at all.

REPORTER [OFFSCREEN]:
What about remorse?

NICK [OFFSCREEN]: And it was
ver-- all she wanted to do

was talk about the police.

And I--I-- you know, I just
formed the impression that here

was somebody who is-- has
obviously lost her mind,

has totally lost
touch with reality,

and we're executing
a person who's mad.

And I don't really know
what kind of message

that-- that gives.

I found it very disturbing.

[background conversations]

-We're going to have a briefing.

We're going to have a
briefing then the witnesses.

-Is everybody ready?

-Good.

-At 9:47 this morning, the
case of "The State of Florida

versus Aileen Wuornos" was
carried out at Florida State

Prison in a very professional
and humane manner.

During Aileen Wuornos' brief
one-minute final statement,

she alluded to the
fact of-- that she

would be sailing
away with the Rock.

She'll be back with Jesus Christ
like on "Independence Day,"

on June 6, just like the
movie, on the big mothership.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.
