00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.080
Caalarogus Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter, Sunday, October
2
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:17.199
twenty sixth, twenty twenty five. Yesterday we covered Jeffrey Dahmer's
3
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:21.879
thirteen year killing spree, seventeen victims, a criminal justice system
4
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.440
that failed at every level, Tracy Edwards escape that finally
5
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.519
ended the murders. Today what happened after the arrest July
6
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:35.399
twenty second, nineteen ninety one, Jeffrey Dahmer was taken into
7
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:40.840
custody at Milwaukee Police Headquarters. Began confessing immediately, matter of fact,
8
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.799
no emotion, describing murders like he was discussing construction projects.
9
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.920
I killed thirty or thirty three, I don't remember exactly.
10
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.399
Over the next two weeks, detectives Patrick Kennedy and Dennis
11
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.439
Murphy interviewed Dahmer for more than sixty hours compiled a
12
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:01.119
one hundred and seventy eight page confession. Dahmer waived his
13
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.079
right to an attorney, said he wanted to confess everything.
14
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.879
I created this horror, and it only makes sense I
15
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.680
do everything to put an end to it. He described
16
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.560
his methods in detail, the drugs he used, how he
17
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:18.040
strangled victims, the dismemberment process, the cannibalism, which body parts
18
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:22.200
he kept, and why where he disposed of remains, all
19
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:28.680
described clinically without remorse. Investigators confirmed seventeen victims, Stephen Hicks
20
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:33.719
in Ohio nineteen seventy eight, sixteen more in Wisconsin between
21
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.959
nineteen eighty seven and nineteen ninety one. Dahmer couldn't remember
22
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.799
exact numbers, said there might have been more. The victims
23
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:46.920
blurred together in his memory. January thirteenth, nineteen ninety two,
24
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.319
Dahmer appeared in Milwaukee County Circuit Court before Judge Lawrence Graham,
25
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.239
charged with fifteen counts of first degree murder. Wisconsin couldn't
26
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.079
charge him with Stephen Twomey's death no physical evidence. Dahmer
27
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.599
claimed he didn't remember committing it. Dahmer changed his plea
28
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:09.319
from not guilty to guilty but insane. That plea changed everything.
29
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.680
No criminal trial to determine guilt. Guilt was admitted. The
30
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.960
only question was Jeffrey Dahmer legally sane when he committed
31
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:25.199
these murders. January thirtieth, nineteen ninety two, the trial began
32
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.520
not about whether Dahmer killed seventeen people, about whether he
33
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.960
understood his actions were wrong, about whether he could control
34
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:38.120
his impulses. About whether necrophilia, cannibalism, and creating zombies by
35
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.960
drilling holes in skulls was insanity or evil. The jury
36
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.240
would decide. Ten out of twelve jurors needed to agree.
37
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.919
If they found him insane, Dahmer would go to a
38
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.800
mental institution for treatment. If sane, prison for life. Wisconsin
39
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:58.280
had no death penalty. February fifteenth, nineteen ninety two, after
40
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.479
ten hours of deliberation, the jury returned with a verdict
41
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.759
Jeffrey Dahmer was sane legally responsible for his actions, guilty
42
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.360
of fifteen counts of murder. Judge Graham's scheduled sentencing for
43
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.840
February seventeenth, fifteen consecutive life terms nine hundred and fifty
44
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.840
seven years. Jeffrey Dahmer would die in prison, but he
45
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:22.800
wouldn't serve even three years. November twenty eighth, nineteen ninety four,
46
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.280
Dahmer was working a cleaning detail in the Columbia Correctional
47
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.319
Institution Gymnasium. Left alone with two other inmates, Christopher Scarver
48
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:40.400
and Jesse Anderson, twenty minutes unsupervised, Scarver picked up a
49
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.639
twenty inch metal bar from the weight room, cornered Dahmer
50
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.439
in the staff locker room, crushed his skull, beat him
51
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.000
until his head was unrecognizable, then killed Anderson two. When
52
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.240
a guard asked Scarver why he was back in his
53
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.759
cell early, he said, God told me to do it.
54
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.639
You will hear about it on the six o'clock news.
55
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.960
Jesse Anderson and Jeffrey Dahmer are dead. Jeffrey Dahmer died
56
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.319
at the hospital an hour later. He was thirty four
57
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:12.280
years old. I'm reed, Carter. This is celebrity trials today.
58
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.480
The trial of Jeffrey Dahmer, The insanity defense that failed,
59
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.399
Prison Christopher Scarver, and the Legacy of the Milwaukee Cannibal,
60
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:30.279
Part two of two, January thirtieth, nineteen ninety two. Milwaukee
61
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.920
County Circuit Court Judge Lawrence Graham, Presiding District Attorney Michael
62
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.759
McCann and Assistant District Attorney E. Michael McCann. Prosecuting defense
63
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.279
attorneys Gerald Boyle and Wendy patrickis representing Dahmer. The courtroom
64
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.199
was packed families of victims, media from around the world,
65
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.920
true crime observers. Everyone wanted to see the man who
66
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.240
had shocked America with the most grotesque killing spree in
67
00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:01.160
modern history. And there sat Jeffrey Dahmer, thirty one years old, glasses,
68
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:08.639
short brown hair, wearing a tan suit, expressionless, calm. He
69
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:12.839
looked like an accountant, a librarian, a neighbor you'd wave
70
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.000
to while mowing your lawn, not a serial killer who
71
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.839
murdered seventeen people and ate their flesh. The trial lasted
72
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:25.439
two weeks, battle of the psychiatrists, defense experts versus prosecution experts,
73
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.959
all trying to answer one question. Was Jeffrey Dahmer insane?
74
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:36.279
Wisconsin law defined insanity narrowly. Did Dahmer lack substantial capacity
75
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.079
to appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct? Could he conform
76
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.079
his behavior to the requirements of law? Not whether he
77
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.240
was mentally ill? Everyone agreed he was mentally ill. But
78
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.319
was he so mentally ill he didn't know right from wrong?
79
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:57.199
The defense argued, yes, Dahmer suffered from necrophilia, sexual attraction
80
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.319
to corpses. This wasn't a choice, This was a compulsion
81
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.240
he couldn't control, a paraphilia so overwhelming it drove him
82
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:09.759
to murder. Defense psychiatrist doctor Fred Berlin testified that Dahmer
83
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.560
was unable to conform his conduct at the time he
84
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.279
committed the crimes, that his necrophilia was a mental disease
85
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.879
that overpowered his ability to make rational decisions. That he
86
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.160
preferred unconscious or dead sexual partners because he wanted complete control,
87
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:30.120
complete submission. Doctor Judith Becker, professor of psychiatry and psychology,
88
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:36.399
diagnosed Dahmer as a necrophiliac. Testified that he told her
89
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.439
he preferred comatose partners to dead ones seventy five percent
90
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.959
of the time, that he killed because death was the
91
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:48.360
ultimate form of control and possession. Doctor Carl Walstrom, forensic psychiatrist,
92
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:54.680
diagnosed Dahmer with necrophilia, borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder,
93
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:59.240
alcohol dependence, and a psychotic disorder. Said all these conditions
94
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:03.240
combined to make Dahmer unable to resist his impulses. Defense
95
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:07.240
attorney Gerald Boyle described his client as a steamrolling killing
96
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.800
machine and a runaway train on a track of madness.
97
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.360
Said Dahmer got sicker as his killing spree. Continued that
98
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.839
by July nineteen ninety one, he was completely out of control,
99
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:23.759
killing every few days, couldn't stop, but the prosecution had
100
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.800
a different story. They presented evidence of Dahmer's planning, his
101
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:32.480
deliberate victim selection, his methods of avoiding detection, his clean
102
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.800
up procedures, his explanations to neighbors about the smell, his
103
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:41.600
lies to police, all evidence of a calculating mind, not insanity.
104
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.759
Doctor Frederic Faustall, prosecution witness, testified that Dahmer had told
105
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:51.319
him I had choices to make. I made the wrong choices.
106
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.759
That's not insanity. That's a man who knew exactly what
107
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.920
he was doing and chose to do it anyway. Doctor
108
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.519
park Elliott Deet, prosecution expert, said Dahmer's killings were well
109
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.439
planned and deliberate. Pointed out that Dahmer used condoms because
110
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.439
he feared contracting aids someone afraid of disease as someone
111
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.040
making rational decisions about consequences. Someone insane doesn't care about
112
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:21.480
getting sick. Doctor George Palermo, court appointed psychiatrist, diagnosed Dahmer
113
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.480
with antisocial personality disorder, but didn't find he met the
114
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.360
legal definition of insanity. Said Dahmer was in control of
115
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.080
his behavior, knew right from wrong, chose to kill anyway.
116
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:38.240
The prosecution argued that Dahmer carefully selected vulnerable victims. Men
117
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:44.159
without cars because missing persons could be traced through vehicles, runaways, minorities,
118
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.879
men from poor neighborhoods, people who wouldn't be immediately missed.
119
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:56.480
That's not insanity, that's strategy. Dahmer lured victims with specific stories,
120
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:02.399
job offers, money for photographs, al alcohol, promises of companionship.
121
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.000
Tailored his approach to what each victim wanted. That's manipulation,
122
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:12.000
that's planning. He drugged them systematically, knew exactly how many
123
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.720
sleeping pills to use, started with three, increased to seven,
124
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.960
experimented to find the right dosage. That scientific method. That's calculation.
125
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.840
He cleaned up after murders, dismembered bodies in his bathtub
126
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.960
to avoid mess, wrapped body parts, carefully disposed of remains,
127
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.519
methodically kept his apartment organized despite having body parts stored throughout.
128
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.399
That's not someone out of control. That's someone managing evidence.
129
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.919
When police questioned him about missing persons, he had explanations ready.
130
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:46.399
They ran away, they moved on, they were unreliable. He
131
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:53.799
was calm, cooperative, plausible. That's not insanity, that's deception. Prosecution
132
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:59.639
argued that Dahmer's real motive wasn't necrophilia, it was control possession.
133
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.159
He wanted people who would never leave him. He killed
134
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.080
to create permanent companions. That selfishness taken to its most
135
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:12.200
extreme conclusion, not mental illness, pure evil. And here's the
136
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:17.120
key evidence that destroyed the insanity defense. Dahmer functioned normally
137
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:22.120
between murders, went to work, paid his bills, interacted with neighbors,
138
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.320
performed as Pogo, the clown at children's hospitals, Wait wrong,
139
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.159
serial killer. But the point stands, Dahmer maintained a normal facade.
140
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.360
If he was so insane he couldn't control his actions,
141
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.440
how was he functional the rest of the time. The
142
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:42.240
prosecution displayed photographs of all fifteen victims during closing arguments.
143
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.600
Put their faces in front of the jury, made them real,
144
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:52.120
made them human. These weren't abstract concepts. These were sons, brothers, fathers,
145
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.399
people with families who loved them. Michael McCann's closing argument,
146
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.759
Jeffrey Dahmer was a sane man, in full control of
147
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.080
his actions, who simply strove to avoid detection. He killed
148
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.240
to control his victims and retained their bodies merely to
149
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.480
afford himself a prolonged period of sexual pleasure. By pleading
150
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.960
guilty but insane, he seeking to escape responsibility for his crimes.
151
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:21.200
Gerald Boyle's closing argument, he was so impaired as he
152
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.919
went along this killing spree that he could not stop.
153
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.799
He was a runaway train on a track of madness.
154
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:32.120
February fifteenth, nineteen ninety two, the jury deliberated ten hours
155
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:37.360
longer than expected. Families waited, media waited. Everyone wondered which
156
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:40.759
way they'd go. The verdict came back. Ten out of
157
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:43.960
twelve jurors found that Jeffrey Dahmer did not suffer from
158
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.679
a mental disease or defect that prevented him from appreciating
159
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.840
the wrongfulness of his conduct. Two jurors dissented, but ten
160
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:55.960
was enough. Guilty but sane on all fifteen counts of murder.
161
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.240
The courtroom was silent. Then the families began crying, some
162
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.840
from relief, others from grief. The verdict brought back everything
163
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:10.000
they'd lost. Shirley Hughes, mother of victim Anthony Hughes, said,
164
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.679
I had my faith in God, and I believed, and
165
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.720
I know this man was not insane. Juror Carl Stahl
166
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:21.600
later told reporters he was a con artist. His whole
167
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.720
conduct showed that he was a con artist. He had
168
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:29.320
planned well, and he is above average intelligence. He had plans,
169
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.440
and he had just one thing on his mind, to
170
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:36.440
satisfy his ego and to satisfy himself, and he didn't
171
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:43.720
even think of anybody else. February seventeenth, nineteen ninety two,
172
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:48.519
sentencing day, Dahmer asked to address the court, first time
173
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:53.600
most people heard him speak. His voice was soft, flat, emotionless.
174
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.440
He said, I wanted to find out just what it
175
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.600
was that caused me to be so bad and evil.
176
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.440
I know my time in prison will be terrible, but
177
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:05.679
I deserve it. I created this horror, and it only
178
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.919
makes sense I do everything to put an end to it.
179
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:13.519
Judge Graham sentenced him to fifteen consecutive life terms, nine
180
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.919
hundred and fifty seven years in prison, no possibility of parole.
181
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:23.679
Dahmer would die in prison May one, nineteen ninety two.
182
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.440
Three months later, Dahmer was extradited to Ohio to face
183
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:31.679
charges for Stephen Hicks's murder. The hearing lasted forty five minutes.
184
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:37.159
Dahmer pleaded guilty, received a sixteenth consecutive life term, sixteen
185
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.360
life sentences for seventeen confirmed murders. The numbers don't even
186
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:46.000
add up to the horror. Make it make sense. We'll
187
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.440
be right back with Jeffrey Dahmer in prison, his interviews,
188
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.919
his zero Remorse, and November twenty eighth, nineteen ninety four,
189
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.519
the day Christopher Scarver crushed his skull with a metal bar.
190
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.600
February nineteen ninety two, Jeffrey Dahmer arrived at Columbia Correctional
191
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.080
Institution in Portage, Wisconsin, maximum security prison, home for the
192
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.240
rest of his life. For the first year, Dahmer was
193
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:24.120
held in solitary confinement, his choice. Prison officials were concerned
194
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:27.080
for his safety. Child killers rank at the bottom of
195
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:33.000
the prison hierarchy, below rapists, below cops, below snitches, and
196
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.360
Dahmer wasn't just a child killer. He was the child
197
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:41.000
killing cannibal. In solitary, Dahmer had minimal contact with other inmates,
198
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.120
received mail, bought cigarettes and magazines with money sent by supporters. Yes,
199
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.240
he had supporters. People who wrote to him, sent him money,
200
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:55.600
defended him Welcome to America. He gave interviews, told reporters
201
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.039
he'd become a born again Christian, was baptized in May
202
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:03.159
nineteen ninety four, said he was remorseful, said he wanted
203
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.320
to be studied so science could understand what created him.
204
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.799
Said he deserved to die. But in private, according to inmates,
205
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.200
Dahmer showed no remorse. He made jokes, taunted other prisoners,
206
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.919
fashioned food into severed limbs, drizzled ketch up on them
207
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:20.960
to look like blood, left them where inmates would find them,
208
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.799
dark sense of humor, testing boundaries, seeing how far he
209
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.159
could push before someone snapped. July nineteen ninety one, while
210
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.320
Dahmer was still in jail awaiting trial, inmate Osvaldo de
211
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.879
Ruthi tried to slash his throat with a razor in
212
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.440
front of guards. Didn't succeed. Dahmer wasn't seriously hurt, but
213
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.559
it was a warning, a preview of what was coming.
214
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.480
After a year in solitary, Dahmer requested transfer to general population.
215
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.759
Said he was ready, didn't care what happened to him,
216
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:57.279
told family members he was prepared to repent and meet
217
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:01.320
his maker. Prison officials approved the trend. NSFER assigned him
218
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.279
a two hour daily work detail cleaning the toilet block.
219
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:09.120
Easy job, low interaction with other inmates. Should be safe,
220
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:12.200
but nothing is safe when you're a child killing cannibal
221
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:16.240
in prison. Enter Christopher Scarver, thirty five years old in
222
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:20.879
nineteen ninety four from Milwaukee, same city where Dahmer killed,
223
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.559
serving life without parole for murdering his boss during a
224
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:28.840
robbery in nineteen ninety shot Stephen Lohman three times. After
225
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:32.440
receiving only fifteen dollars, said he heard voices calling him
226
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:37.519
the chosen one. Scarver arrived at Columbia Correctional Institution around
227
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.919
the same time as Dahmer. Knew exactly who Dahmer was,
228
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.639
kept a newspaper clipping about Dahmer's crimes in his pocket,
229
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:50.159
read it constantly. Felt fiercely disgusted by what Dahmer had done.
230
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:54.120
Scarver watched Dahmer from a distance, like a wolf watching prey.
231
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.320
Never approached him. Didn't want to be part of his
232
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:01.320
sick games. But he saw the food limb with ketchup routine,
233
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.319
saw Dahmer taunting other inmates, saw him showing no remorse.
234
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.559
Some people who are in prison are repentant, Scarver later said,
235
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.519
but he was not one of them. November twenty eighth,
236
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:19.000
nineteen ninety four, Monday morning, eight am Three inmates were
237
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.440
assigned to clean the prison gymnasium, Jeffrey Dahmer, Jesse Anderson,
238
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.799
serving life for murdering his wife in nineteen ninety two,
