This method sounds fictitious to me. If the guy was really into pain, wouldn't he have wanted to experience the ecstasy of at least watching a few choice morsels carved off and served with a properly decanted vintage red wine?

How do we know that wasn't the case--and that at some point he might have said, "Gott in himmel, I've made a mistake. No more for me, thanks."

We're supposed to rely on the cannibal's word?

I've never understood it before, but perhaps suicide does indicate extreme mental illness and that's what elevates the injury of oneself to a crime.

No more for me, thanks...

No more for me?

Or perhaps "No more of me." :-)

Says he was obsessed with pain, not into pain. there's a difference, especially when pain's involved.

The court found that his consent was real, and a videotape of the killing was part of the evidence.
