"Actually, "serial killer" is a very specific term in criminology. Someone can kill a bunch of folks in sequence, but that isn't what makes him a serial killer."

Actually, I've done homicide prosecutions in this jurisdiction and you're wrong.

:P

No seriously. No really. I don't know what y'all are learning on court TV, but around here, this is a serial killing! Sheesh, I'd be giggling but it would be nervous giggling too. Because they may be right about the terrorism.

According to the dictionary, a serial killer is "A person who attacks and kills victims one by one in a series of incidents."

Serial means "Of, forming, or arranged in a series." Killing means... oh, forget it. The guy's obviously a serial killer, I don't know where other posters are getting their definition of the word.
