    Not only is Dahmer the only serial killer to ever have a real apology, he's the only criminal/murderer that didn't blame on anyone but himself.
  • @that1chick92
    Jeff Dahmar will forever be one of the scariest and most disturbing cases in history
  • @afrajahin1899
    His being so calm and normal is the most terrifying thing ever
  • @nene8482
    We can say he wasn't legally insane. But this is still completely abnormal. Noone with any sound mind would do this. There's something fundamentally wrong. Not everything can be diagnosed, understood or even given a name. Some people are just the way they are.
  • I feel so bad for the families involved. The victims’ parents having to live with the horror that their sons were not only murdered but eaten. The father also has to live with the notion that he failed miserably with his son. This is just so heartbreaking
  • @raiden031
    The Netflix series led me here. It's crazy to think someone who committed such heinous crimes could end things the way he did with apologies and full cooperation.
  • @caddieohm7059
    Wow this judge stands out in terms of eloquence and humanity and empathy and intelligence. Rarely seen a man that sensible, rational and warm hearted at the same time.
  • @Baldwin-iv445
    I can only imagine how his father felt discovering what his son did. It's a miracle that he still loves him. Edit: Mom I'm famous!
  • He really is a wonder. He speaks with intelligence and understanding but with no emotion. When he says he loves his family very much he says it with a monotone dead emotion. What he did was horrible beyond belief it’s a shame they didn’t get him sooner. Rip to the victims and healing for all the families on both sides
  • @MiaMaven
    I really like this judge. He is so thoughtful and thorough in his explanation. Not many judges convey emotional intelligence as he did. May all the victims rest in peace.
  • @Tassie85
    The judge was so eloquent and greatly affected by this horror show. A historic case.
  • @dandrea4762
    He even apologized for those 2 lazy cops 💀
  • It’s weird how no one is mentioning how the judge has a great view of point. He understands from many different ways. He has a great mind set and a great skill with thinking and understanding.
  • I have heard this case so many times, but I’ve NEVER heard him speak.. it’s so eerie and unsettling how he has no emotion behind it.
  • @00BeesKnees00
    We only saw one of side him where he appears "normal". The victims saw the other side of him, where he is so different in mannerism, speech, appearance. They knew what we don't know and have taken this with them to their graves.
  • I don’t believe those officers deserve anything except to never be in positions they were in ever again
  • @ophelia9604
    He wasn't a psychopath, he was a sociapath with borderline personality. His case is so so complicated and psychologists are still working on that because its never fully solved. He was a mix of thousands things.
