Gilgo Beach LISK Serial Killer, Rex Heuermann, charged with 7 murders, July 2023 #16

[Inthedetails]

they are going to try all 7 victims at one trial...if the trial goes wrong...oh brother...if he pleads guilty he saves the tax payers $$$..but the victims get lost in the vacuum and that makes me feel sick...look at Kohberger...it all just felt so wrong.

In the Kohberger case, it was a big unknown why the killer committed the crimes. In this case, I think that isn't a question - they were sex crimes by a serial murderer and the targets were selected because they were sex workers he arranged to hire. There isn't the same desire to know "why," imo, because it's not a mystery what RH's motive was, imo.

The big question to me is how long it will take the jury to deliberate to find him guilty. But I can live without that process if he takes a plea.

Of course, we don't know if a plea really in the works or a rumor.

my opinion only

I wonder if his attorneys are seeing these latest court rulings as a serious problem. With the cases tried together and DNA evidence allowed, they may feel it’s a losing proposition to go to trial. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at their meetings.

Has attorney John Ray made any comments lately?

Is Rex Heuermann going to plead out?

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

After all of these decades and he pleads! (If he does) He may realize that it would be so visually condemning that he will pay the price in prison.

Oh please, please, please, I hope he pleads guilty.

Why would he do it, though? His personality seems more in line with making people suffer, and a trial will do that. He's not getting any deal, I mean his crimes are so heinous, what could the state legitimately offer him? Aside from maybe butter and candy bars. He's so vicious, I can't picture butter and candy bars going that far with him, he's a true sadist and a trial will cause pain, giving him a rush no amount of butter and candy ever could.

I wonder if there's something we don't know as of yet that he desperately wants concealed, and a trial might further poke into it. Can you imagine how bad that "something" would have to be, considering the state already has HK in hand?

I will be shocked if he pleads guilty. it won't keep him from prosecution in other states...and they are going to run him through Codis, once he is prosecuted. He may believe his other victims have not been found or maybe he's just praying his DNA isn't found again. it won't keep them from further prosecuting him in ongoing cases...unless he's going to spill the beans...and I doubt it.I don't like this guilty pleading...he gets to go hide. I don't like it one bit. mOO

Totally agreed. There's something to this if he does it, there's something in this for him that we're not yet aware of, and that's a pretty scary thought.

But it won't matter because the state has all the information they'd offer at trial already, they can continue to build on that and develop it in other directions if they're inclined. In the meantime, they can literally build him a lagoon of butter in his cell and let him frolic in it naked for all I care. (His hair looks like he's already doing that, but jmo.)

It'll be a happy holiday season for everyone with the vicious troll rolling in butter in a cage somewhere, forced to accept reality, jmo. And hopefully vomiting up some good information that can be corroborated.

It will be maddening if they don't make Rex allocute. If true and he does plead guilty I certainly hope they make him tell us.

I understand this sentiment 100%, but here's the problem as I see it.

RH is a psychopath just like Bryan Kohberger and Ted Bundy.

Psychopaths lie. They love to manipulate others for their own twisted ends.

There's zero reason to believe that he would suddenly become truthful in an allocution after a life of lies.

JMO

He sure is, but unlike Kohberger, RH can potentially offer a lot of information that can be corroborated, at least to some degree.

Yes... and Dennis Rader, commonly known as BTK the serial killer, did just that. He *loved* talking and being chummy with the officers. It was amazing the info he coughed up.

One of his murders happened while he was being a scout leader in a troop compound sleeping in a tent with his son. He sneaked out after everyone was asleep, travelled to his victims house, broke in, tortured and killed her, travelled back to the campsite and sneaked back into bed without being missed.

He hadn't been suspected for that one because, well, his alibi seemed pretty darned tight, right??
