I can't help but think its the exposure that did him in. People like this like their uglyness to remain in the darkness, and his is out for all the world to see. He tried so hard in the courtroom to make it sound less ugly, but that was impossible.
Can you imagine standing before God after this?
He'll get his just rewards.
And remember how he kept refusing to open his ugly eyes? His reputation was of utmost importance to him. Like Israel Keyes, he wanted to control what people knew about him.
It says in the above article that his family learnt about his death from media reports first. Regardless of who he was, that was wrong IMO
I suppose that would be pretty hard to keep from the media pending notification.
Prisoners can make phone calls and prison guards have families.
LOL I used to be like you. Sometimes I miss that.
AC claimed to have been abused when he was a child. But instead of empathizing with the victims, instead he emulated his abuser. At some point an adult has to take responsibility for his/her own actions. He had to quit blaming what he did on his abuser. He claimed to have a sex addiction. He claimed to be addicted to *advertiser censored*. He claimed to regret that. Yet there is no record of him seeking out counseling for any of it. There is no record of him ever trying to change.
As far as remorse, he was incarcerated for a period of time after the girls rescue, until the trial. He was in isolation for a period of time. So he had opportunity to think to make the comparisons. Yet when he stood up in court to speak, his story was the girls got into his car voluntarily, they had a 'happy' home, and sometimes the girls asked for sex. He claimed remorse for his addictions to sex, but not for kidnapping torturing and raping the girls. Not for forcing Michelle to miscarry.
So using AC's own logic, he pleaded guilty. So he went to prison voluntarily. He wasn't beaten, raped, starved or tortured. And he couldn't even handle a quarter of what he put those girls through.
Yes I would like to believe that in the end he felt remorse. But seeing his brand of "remorse" in court leads me to believe he probably died blaming someone for his predicament. Probably the girls. Killing himself was probably supposed to punish them.
Yeah, I agree, give me a break. This guy had as much remorse for his victims as Hitler. Perhaps he didn't kill himself until now because he wanted the last word. Which he kind of had in court and shouldn't have had, IMO.
He blamed the victims for getting in his car and the. Tried to justify his behavior. He tried to make himself out to be the good guy. He diminished his victim's intense pain.
He tormented his wife, beating her repeatedly, and continuing his torture after she fled. Then he acquired three new punching bags who couldn't flee. He had ten years to feel remorse. Instead, during that time he committed murder.
In court, he reacted with righteous, naricissitic anger at DeJesuses' relatives when they told him "May God have mercy on your soul.". He chastised them for that comment.
Finally, watching him read his pathetic statement (most of which I refused to actually listen to), he had multiple micro expressions of intense rage, with a vicious, growling and clenched mouth. He was extremely angry to be called out and cast as the villian.
He's a bad guy. He's not complex. He's just a run of the mill predatory murderer and wife beater who found a way to indulge his sick passions without interruption.
Ick.
