No kidding. The folks saying he wanted to get the death penalty really need to put a sock in it.
He died in prison (of some health problem, if I recall). He was jailed for over 25 years for the crime (and was sentenced before he was 25).
Video surfaced after his death of him in prison with fists full of cash, snorting cocaine, and receiving or giving oral sex (I think with another man). Yeah, life in prison was "sure" hard on that serial killer.
