The case wasn't even weird at all. Everything was a standard series of hate crimes from a bigot. Killing gays because he hates homosexuals. Then he started killing for monetary gain. Completely standard. Even him eating flesh isn't weird anymore, because there have been plenty of canabalistic murderers. Only thing this case was was brutal, really brutal. But not weird.

I feel you on this.. personally I think the kindest (?) Death penalty is a bullet to the head... Quick and clean. And while I fully understand the want to see those who carried ou utterly horrific crimes suffering the same way their victims did, I would be happier if they were quickly expunged from this world. I think it is bs that the legal system has successfully argued against some methods of death penalty under the guise of cruel and unusual punishment - seriously?!!

@@masterpieces2218 no, there is a difference between killing and torture. Jail's around the world are full of people on death row (for how many years?) Or life in prison. Murdering someone doesn't equate to a death sentence yourself. It should. Torturing someone.... Lethal injection. You know the one that often goes wrong and involves some prolonged agony before death ensues? I'm good with that also As.for the families of the victims, I'm sure the thought of the perpetrators suffering would be welcome, but ultimately they just want them to no longer exist. Just my opinion. But (and I will be honest!) I'm sure if this was.closer to home then my opinions would change

"Crikey" is really only used ironically in Australia. It has about the same place in our lexicon as "Begorrah" does for the Irish, just so you know.

The suburbs mentioned Salisbury, Elizabeth, Daveron Park, Smithfield etc where this all happened are much better but still some of the highest crime areas. Elizabeth is so multi-generationally intrenched with a deep culture of boganism that when they made the Snowtown movie they realised that they could never make faux bogan film sets better than authentic bogans in their natural habitat. So they just rented places 'as is' from the locals at the time.

Juror's where so traumatised from the information presented in this trial, they had to be dismissed and counceled, some never recovered. The trial was restarted 3 times. Costing the state government millions. Eventually the Judge told potential new Juror's be prepared to hear pure horror. if you think you can't finish what you start, leave now before your selected. It took 12 months more just to select a third time jury. This was a first in Australian criminal history.

Mayte!!! My wife and I are local to the area, and have followed this as it happened. I have also followed your channel for a while. I want to give you the highest compliment. even though we were local to this - you're information is better than anything we have heard locally or otherwise. Most You tube channel's care not for facts but clicks. Cudo's to you mate. Even the origin of the slang ''rock spider'',, i never could work it out, nor do people whom use it know the origin either, yet You are the other side of the world - the cold rainy side :) Also, people are not aware of the prevalence of Rock Spiders over here, in the area there and surrounding towns. The news played down - not mentioning their original motivation (I'm not condoning it) . This is something we learned years later. Snakes, Crocs, Dingos, more snakes, spiders, blue ringed octopii, box jelly fish - get a bad wrap over here - rightly so - however they have nothing on the real, institutionalized sexual murderous predators that are way more, numerous and dangerous. The the victims of abuse seek revenge and become twisted murderous, torturous abusers themselves. How the cops could take so long, and not respond etc etc is common, not surprising anymore. Mate, please pin this comment for others to see as my main point is to compliment your accuracy, and clearly thorough research. You are doing a great service with your films. Good educational material for parents with teenagers, and the likes of us trying to make sense of the twisted parts of our society. Onya, from ""Astraya"".
