No Creo Que El Fuera El Primero Al Que Denominaron Asesino Serial, Pero Lo Segundo Es Cierto. 

Courtroom Sketches of Infamous Killers

Ted Bundy

Ted Bundy was a serial killer active in the 1970′s who ruthlessly murdered at least 36 young women and girls. He had multiple trials, the last of which in Florida ultimately consigned him to the electric chair in 1989. Ted was found guilty for the Florida murders of Margaret Bowman (21), Lisa Levy (20) and Kimberly Diane Leach (12).

Despite losing both his Florida trials, Bundy had a team of five court appointed lawyers. It is reported by these lawyers that Bundy’s self important ego caused him to try to handle much of the case himself. Attorney Polly Nelson (a member of Ted’s defence team) stated: “he sabotaged the entire defence effort out of spite, distrust and grandiose delusion”.

Night Stalker Richard Ramirez

Richard Ramirez was a serial killer active in California during the 1980′s responsible for the murders of 14 people. In his first ever court appearance in July 1988 he exclaimed “Hail Satan!” and displayed a pentagram he had drawn on his hand.

Ramirez was found guilty of all charges in September the following year and sentenced to death in November 1989. After being sentenced to die Richard told reporters: “Big deal. Death always went with the territory. See you in Disneyland.”

Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh

Timothy James McVeigh was a terrorist responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995 which killed 168 people. McVeigh was tried in Denver, Colorado in 1996 with the trial being presided over by Judge Richard Paul Matsch.

McVeigh wanted his lawyers to use a necessity defence against the federal government but this was not the route taken. McVeigh was found guilty of all charges in June 1997. He was subsequently sentenced to death and executed via lethal injection on June 11th, 2001.

Moors Murderer Ian Brady

Alongside his accomplice and girlfriend Myra Hindley, Ian Brady murdered 5 children between 1963 and 1965. Brady and Hindley’s trial was held in 1966 and they were convicted not long after the death penalty had been banned in the United Kingdom.

During his incarceration, Brady made multiple appeals on several issues. One of which was his being force fed during his time on hunger strike. Brady expressed regret over his and Hindley’s imprisonment - but not the crimes themselves.

John Wayne Gacy

John Wayne Gacy was a serial killer who between 1972 and 1978 murdered 33 young men and boys in Chicago, Illinois. Gacy’s trial began in February 1980 with the case being presided over by Judge Louis Garippo.

The jury on Gacy’s trial deliberated for less than two hours before finding him guilty of all charges. They took slightly longer for their decision in the sentencing phase of the trial where Gacy was sentenced to die for his crimes. Gacy was executed via lethal injection on May 10th, 1994.

Charles Manson

Charles Manson was a cult leader who in 1971 was convicted for the nine murders carried out by the Manson family between July and August 1969. Despite not actually being present for the murders themselves, Manson was convicted of murder and sentenced to die.

Manson’s death sentence was commuted to life with the possibility of parole after the death penalty was suspended in California in 1972. Charles Manson died aged 83 of natural causes on November 19th, 2017.

hace un rato que no subo nada por falta de tiempo

acá en mi rancho se celebra el “Día de muertos”

en un diplomado que tome un maestro nos comento que nos llama la atencion mas el agresor de un crimen, porque este se sale de la “norma” y en cambio una victima podría ser cualquiera de nosotros.

justo ayer escuchaba un programa de radio donde se hablo de Ted Bundy (abajo dejo el link para que escuchen el programa) y al final la experta “Susana García” dejo una reflexión sobre que todos recordaran a Ted pero que ella prefería recordar a las victimas.

ya que hoy es un día para recordar a las personas fallecidas quería dejar esa reflexión, que recordemos a las victimas de cualquier asesino, atentado, tiroteo etc. porque les fue arrebatada la vida injustamente.

puse la foto de las victimas de Ted, pero realmente esta dedicada a todas y todos.

¿Qué es la criminología?

LA CRIMINOLOGÍA NO ES

- Sinónimo de criminalistíca

- Ciencia jurídica

- Ciencia heroica o superior a otras

- Apología de la violencia y el delito

- Ciencia de los muertos

- Una ciencia vinculada a las armas

- Admiración y/o justificación de la conducta criminal

LA CRIMINOLOGÍA SI ES

- La ciencia de la generosidad

- Una ciencia primordialmente preventiva

- Una ciencia vinculada inherentemente a la victimología

- Una ciencia que no justifica el crimen, solo lo explica

- Una ciencia respetuosa de los derechos humanos de victimarios y victimas

- El estudio integral de todo aquello que se relacione con la conducta criminal

- Una ciencia tendiente a la especialización

El día de hoy se presento una manifestación en el 18 Congreso Mundial de Psiquiatría, por parte de un grupo que dice defender los derechos humanos (CCHR).

es interesante sobre todo por el debate en torno a la salud mental, por un lado se ha criticado mucho a la psiquiatría por defender una agenda política, tener un pasado lleno de abusos y convertirse en un negocio en torno a los medicamentos (como casi todo lo que toca el capitalismo)

no obstante las enfermedades mentales existen, los avances científicos en esta área han permitido ayudar a las personas que las padecen y como muchos médicos de esta especialidad afirman “la psiquiatría no mata, salva vidas”.

por mi parte me veo con la inclinación de estar del lado de los psiquiatras, no obstante entiendo las implicaciones y la difícil tarea de definir la “salud mental” de la cual me gustaría poder hablar en otra entrada de blog, la cual tiene ya connotaciones sociales, filosóficas y científicas mas haya de la psiquiatría. 

no tiene nada que ver con criminólogia, solo lo publico
