Content: TRIAL BY ORDEAL; CELL 2455 DEATH ROW, and THE FACE OF JUSTICE. Chessman was executed in the California State Prison at San Quentin on May 2, 1960, just minutes before Judge Goodman attempted to grant him one more stay of execution. Chessman's fame was based on his ability to extend his execution, his publications and the intricacies of his various legal manuvers. Jeffrey DAHMER (1960 - 1997 )
One of the most bizarre criminals in the 1990s. Jeffrey Dahmer was accused of sadistically murdering, mutilating and canibalizing male victims in his apartment. Court records noted he allegedly dismembered fifteen men or boys in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For several weeks his case brought the attention of the Milwaukee Sentinel and the Milwaukee Journal, as well as the local electronic media and the national media which made him known as a "media criminal." The defense pleaded Dahmer was insane and a necrophilec. Being raised in a broken home, sexually abused as a child and having above average intelligence, Dahmer complemented the classic pattern for a serial murder.
