They flattened the house after a quick cursory look. I think i know why. With years of records showing they allowed this man to torture and murder multiple women and girls it's more convenient for those cops to just bulldoze the house and make it all go away.

This is why the 2nd amendment is important. Because if the government has no obligation to protect you, then it is 100% up to you to protect yourself.

I can guarantee you that Russell has changed the narrative in his own mind so that he can ultimately tell anyone who will listen that he WANTED the life sentence all along and that this was just another time that he was smarter than the system. It doesn't sound like a win to anyone normal but it is to a sociopath and/or psychopath.

I do appreciate your videos and sense of humor. I have been homebound with a severe illness and you have made my life more enjoyable. Thank you.

It seems he was trying to use reverse psychology to ensure he doesn’t get the death penalty by stating that what he fears the most was rotting in jail for the rest of his life. I believe he planted that seed for consideration when the moment came for the judge to decide his sentencing.
