Right. I remember him. But what I was wondering was whether he was one of the monsters that had vocal celebrity supporters.

I was thinking that he did, but I could have him confused with someone else. But is sure seems that he had some celebrities in his corner.

Do you remember?

As I recall they had this guy nailed and no one really supported him. The only guy I recall getting celebrity support in Texas at that time was Clarence Brantley who was on Death Row for killing a girl in Conroe.

Brantly, was on Death Row until the late 1980's when after a great deal of effort by celebrities, AI and other groups had his conviction overturned when DNA proved that he did not kill the Girl.

Brantley was weeks if not days away from an appointment with the needle when the state finally reviewed his case.

Scary stuff, The state came very close to executing an Innocent man.

A serial killer profiting from their heinous crimes is a terrible injustice. Unfortunately every country has had its share of serial killers.

I don't recall any celebrities supporting Watts. Perhaps you're thinking of Gary Graham? He had quite a few celebrity supporters.
