Is this the real Carol DaRonch? The young lady that escaped Ted Bundys car? Either way thank you for this amazing video 🙏 The interest in Ted Bundy and his victims will never go away I don’t think, just like Jack the Ripper never did a hundred years before. I have no explanation for why this is. But thank you for the video, it honestly was very interesting to see the way he looks when his mother said sime things. I think Ted being narcissistic and having dreams of grandeur would have hated it when his mother said Ted had to work during school and college, she said it was necessary. Just knowing the bit I do about Ted Bundy I think that would have bruised his fake image a bit. And he showed no emotion towards his very caring and loving mother. Zero.
@@dwood5252 The first time I saw a picture of kohlbeger, his eyes immediately struck me. They’re the same as fundies. It’s like a weird squinty, long distance stare, but their eyes are all the way open.
Things were much different back then. If your family member was sentenced by the state To die Your family didn't abandon you What he did he did was horrific But his mother loved him to the end I feel bad for her I hope her soul rests. Back Then family used to pick up the body and actually have a service. That doesn't happen these days you end up in a potter's grave. He had that Dignity of being creamAted and had his ashes thrown over the cascadian mountains
5:24 "How did you raise Ted?" If Louise Bundy had been honest here, as uncomfortable as it might have been, I wonder if the jury might have felt more sympathy for Ted. He was actually raised to believe that Louise was his sister, not his mother. His father was unknown (still to this day). According to testimony from other family members, Ted's grandfather (who Ted was told was his father) was incredibly violent, racist and abusive to animals. When he was four years old, Ted was taken away from his "father" to live with his "sister" on the other side of the country. He only found out that his sister was his mother when he was in his 20s. The point of this testimony, already having been found guilty, was to convince the judge and the jury to spare Ted the death penalty and give him life in prison. Had Ted, Louise and the lawyers been open and honest about his upbringing, perhaps the judge and jury would have recognised how disruptive and psychologically damaging his childhood had been and felt more sympathy when sentencing him. However, the crimes were terrible, and this was in Florida, and the death sentence had just been made constitutional again, so it might not have changed much.
Yes I read that about Ted and his mother. But there was a rumor that Teds Grandfather was his biological father too ?? I think it worked out the way it should’ve for Ted getting the Death Penalty, especially Ted being knowledgeable about the law . If he got a life sentence he might have found away using the law to be back out on the streets again doing the same thing but maybe even worse. 😮
Many of us have abusive parents, tragedy and trauma in our childhood. We didn't become mass murderers and that can't be used to excused something so evil.
That was the anomaly. He could be a caring, empathetic person, but it was a facade. That facade could drop easily to reveal a dark, malignant persona. Ann Rule, the famous true crime author who wrote the classic, "The Stranger Beside Me," worked alongside Bundy at this call center. Being a former detective, as the crimes rolled out across the country and Ted checked in with her, her suspicions were aroused, yet she had a hard time reconciling the criminal side of Bundy with the Ted she had worked with at the call center.
Hello Richard..just read your comment. Have you read Anne Rule’s book ‘The Stranger Beside me’? She wrote about TB and the time she, too, volunteered at the same crisis centre when he did. She wrote that he would, on his shift, just ignore the calls...What a revelation for her when the news broke about his murders. That would be shiver-making.
I can’t understand the irony in that. He took lives but at the same time, cared to be a crisis line worker. As a former 911 dispatcher I couldn’t fathom being both a monster and a compassionate person for those in distress
My mom was an admin at the University of Washington Law School. I asked her if Ted ever gave her a creepy feeling and she said no, not at all, but she never liked him because he was always trying to manipulate people and situations to his advantage.
I don’t think it’s really fair of anybody to say she didn’t care about the victims that he killed. If it was your child, your child is number one in your heart. You don’t automatically just look at them the way the rest of society would. She was probably tormented on the inside by what he did, but also the deep love she had as a mother for her son. None, absolutely none of us, should be judging her. She didn’t do it, and I think she cared a lot. The enormity of what he did would be unfathomable to any mother, if it was their son. I feel truly sorry for his family too. He destroyed them as well.
She can love him but lm not interested in anything she has to say. It's irrelevant. He was born, he was a child and then he was a depraved bastard. I would never have stood on that stand.
Without knowing any backstory, you’d think he was just another attorney in the courtroom. His ability to look professional, blend in and be likable was definitely a big part of what made him evil. Just goes to show you, an image goes a long way, even if it’s just a facade or trick.
Halo Effect in effect. His looks, fitness and full head of hair was disarming to the female victims that were duped and then killed. A guy like BTK or Ridgeway could never get that close in the context that Bundy did during his ruses.
We really need more judges like Judge Cowart presiding over court rooms of today. The man is a legend, he conducts himself with fairness, impartiality and most importantly, empathy for everyone, the jury, the witnesses, the prosecution, the defense and the worst of them all, Bundy. I wish more judges followed in his footsteps. RIP Judge Cowart!
Wait the judge die already no way..... well I love the line when he said to ted that they will put him on the electric chair 💺 until your whole body is dead.
She didn’t care about the victims. Even right to the last minute when he admitted he killed over 30 women all she was bothered about was him and his excuses.
Jesus you can’t expect a mother to stop protecting and living her child. It doesn’t matter what they have done. It’s a universal law of nature! And this poor mother had no control over her feelings of love for her child just like all of us who are mothers!
There are many victims and victims’ families who don’t believe in the death penalty, either. For one, it’s not the state’s place to do that. For another, it’s society’s obligation to be better than the most evil amongst us. Third, there are a dozen different psychologies and motivations behind murder, and not all are deserving of being written off as evil. The state is horrible at determining someone’s real motive/psychology, so we shouldn’t have the same reaction to all murderers. However, it gets tricky when trying to assess Ted Bundy’s mother here. Too many families/friends are blindly loyal to someone, despite what they’ve done to others. Ted Bundy was obviously evil to the core, but his psychopathy successfully charmed people. I don’t lose sleep over the fact he’s dead. But the practice of the death penalty, itself, is wrong.
I hate to say this , but his mother wasn't being honest while on the stand . It was later discovered as a fact that Ted Bundy went through absolute hell at home. I won't go into all of the details. You'll have to Google it. I'm also not making any excuses for Ted Bundy neither. Regardless of whatever justice had to be served
It’s actually a hormonal thing that happens to mothers when their babies are born. We love our children no matter what and we gave no control over that. That’s Mother Nature at work and there’s nothing any mother can do to change it. Which is a good thing!
Pues ella no cree así , el ultima día q llamo ted la mamá le dijo q lo quería y siempre será su hijo sea malo o bueno las madres los aman así si no tiene mejor no decir nada
I think so also, if you've ever seen any of his long form interviews, he can charming, comes across as very intelligent and his looks are disarming. I know a lot of people are on here attacking his mother, but she probably compartmentalized everything. She knows he's a monster for what he did, but she had a lifetime of him being the nice, responsible son.
@@powerboatguy2308 She raised him to believe she was his sister because she was unwed. She allowed her father, Ted's grandfather, to beat the hell out of him, show him p0rn and all of the other sick things he did. She taught her kids to be quiet and pretend they are the picture, perfect family. She continued to sick cycle of secrecy which is why Ted hated her. There is no truth to this woman. I don't care what anyone says, he was raised in a sick environment. There is NO stats or science that people are "born evil". There IS evidence that an unhealthy environment causes and/or perpetuates maladaptive behaviors. Every kid needs different rearing. They have emotional needs. This woman is heavily Christian as well that practically beat this in all of her kids. Please with the "compartmentalizing". She was NOT a nice woman.
The narrative that Mrs. Bundy presented here of a stable, wholesome, safe, loving family unit was FAR from the reality of his upbringing and family life. So far.
Those were the days if that's what they both wanted. Many women have different aspirations than cooking and cleaning and raising kiddos. That has to be respected too.
Imagine being able to raise 5+ children and buy a home in a fairly large city on just a cook's income. It's a shame the way we've allowed corporate greed to hollow out the middle class with low wages and price gouging, while the rich get richer.
The depth of his depravity - killed dozens of people, then has his MOM as a character witness????????? What did he think that was going to do [other than torture her???]
I think she was a good hearted niave/soft invidivual who he took advantage of. I think her lack of assertiveness in his upbringing potentially contributed to how he turned out, but she and the rest of the family were victims too
Bless your heart,no mother ever thinks her beloved child would end up this way💔 I’m also amazed at her poise and demeanor, I would be a sobbing wreck 💔
He apparently saved lives while he was doing that job. And it might have been before the killings began. Regardless of anything else though, it has been confirmed that he did save lives during those phone calls.
She didn't know if he was guilty or not at this point of the trial. It wasn't until Ted got founded guilty and he confessed that she knew he actually did it
Ted moms has nothing to do with his killings.I pity her so much.She's old and weak,hard up looking and kind looking and yet her son gave her too much stress and misery .She doesnt deserved this.May God bless you Mrs.Bundy.I hope you are now in peace already and the families of all the victims.
Aww his mum seems a lovely caring lady it’s so sad her son turned out like this how would anyone feel if it was their child god bless you mrs Bundy none of this is your fault she is a victim as well you can’t just stop loving your son no matter what he has done
She is opposed to the death penalty but yet can't see that her son killed so many young women robbing them and their families. I am all in favor of the death penalty especially in cases like this.
Absolutely wrong. His mother is playing the victim just like he does. You can still see her enabling his horrible behavior. And the fact that she didnt take responsibility for him as her son in his early life absolutely played a part in his psychopathy.
'Seems', just like he did. A lovely caring lady would not have stood by such a monster bragging on him and giving him full support, throwing loving and proud glances at him. Disgusting.
You would think he would. But criminals don't think. They just kill. The mind boggling thing is that Bundy could kill any of the other women in the courtroom and not be bothered by it. Psychologists also said that Bundy sought revenge on the woman who broke up with him yrs ago. So every young woman who resembled this girl he would torture, rape and kill.
She considered the death penalty barbaric all the while casually ignoring the barbaric murders her son committed. And clever of that defense lawyer to present her and her family as a wholesome all American family when the opposite was true.
At least he got gang-raped while in the death row. Also disgusting that he was allowed to keep banging a woman while incarcerated. Imo he and that woman should "please" the entire death row, one in front of the other, even with his mom watching, for him used her in courtroom, to try to teach something to that evil pos.
@@Scorpio72350 sure, he had a lovely upbringing compared to, say, Charles Manson. But that's a very low bar to set, isn't it? He was left alone for weeks as a newborn in a unmarried mothers home. He had very little contact with people, no hugs or skin-on-skin contact (which is important for newborns) and then he was raised by his grandparents (who he thought were his real parents until he acquired a copy of his birth certificate in his twenties) no one knows who his father is, I don't think even his own mother knows.. So his mother is running around sleeping with multiple men and gets pregnant, tries to abort the baby but it fails, she eventually gives birth and then abandons the baby for weeks, only to palm him off to her own parents when she *finally* picks him up.. Yeah, she sounds like a real class act 🤮 She was a cold and selfish liar, Ted must of inherited the trait from her
@@Angela-hv9jvAt this point in the trial she didn't know for sure if Ted actually committed the murders. It wasn't until he was found guilty and Ted confessed that she knew
As a mother myself I can only imagine the rollercoaster of emotions Louise was going through, I truly feel sorry for her. Its clear she did everything she could as a mother to raise him well. I have watched enough Ted Bundy content to know he is among the worst of the worst barbaric evil that has roamed this planet. R.I.P to all his victims, known & unknown 🕯Respect to Carol, Karen, Rhonda & all who other unknown survivors🌹
Alot good parents they raise their children with good morals and values and to respect people. If their child become Serial killer then they would be ashamed of their child and disown them.
It's not clear at all. We only see her recited testimony. We don't see how she treated this bastard as he was growing up. I'm not defending Ted. Just saying that we have no idea what kind of mother she was.
It’s all happy families until you have to appear in court concerning the shenanigans of your prolific necrophile psychopath serial killer son (who grew up believing you were his sister).
I can feel her heart breaking. She was the reason for his academic accomplishments. She, herself is intelligent and likely helped him to become studious and detailed. He broke her heart.
Louise bundy seems like a good sweet soul,I remember her saying how sorry she was that her son did this to the parents of Susan rancourt ,u could hear the pain her her voice,Susan's parents told her they didn't blame her and they realized ted is sick.
I am so very sorry for all the families who lost loved ones because of him. May they be blessed in the peace of God. Also, his mother, I am sorry for her. I don't know or understand what could make anyone do such unspeakable things to someone else. There is no easy answer, only God knows. Such a waste of his own life too. He was intelligent and successful. He worked very hard for all of his lawful accomplishments, he could have really been somebody remarkable. But this darkness inside him robbed him of being the son, husband, father and friend he could have been. Killing is wrong. All this needless suffering by everyone whose life this touched. May God continue to comfort them all always.
A mother will fight for her child. Always. That doesn't mean she doesn't care about the victims or what he has done. She can't help it. It's her child.
Not true at all. Some people, usually girls, have parents that hate them because they’re too good. The kid is scapegoated for life. Narcissistic parents like this can’t stand to face how evil they really are.
Well, lady, your son ABUSED, TORTURED, and MURDERED dso many human beings. For her to say the death penalty is barbaric, is an absolute joke! If she really had such a GREAT relationship to her son, how come she never suspected?
Because he was a psychopath and master manipulator, and they are absolute geniuses at hiding their pathologies from people they don’t want to know about them. He was also charming and always employed, often in jobs that helped a lot of people, and they were close, so it’s not really surprising at all that she still felt they had a great relationship.
@@nesadcruz7840exactly people saying they feel sorry for her. Even when he admitted to her he killed over 30 women all she’s could talk about was him and his excuses and not mentioned ANYTHING about the victims.
@@6859benbecause she genuinely believed he was innocent. Bundy was a master manipulator, he had a lot of people fooled. His own Mother didn’t stand a chance at seeing who or what he really was. You think you know your kids better than anybody. I think when he finally admitted it, it destroyed her but she had to keep it together for the other 4 kids. You should see his little brother Richard now, it’s completely wrecked his life. I see him as one of Teds victims. He idolised him. Now it’s like he almost feels some responsibility. It’s terrible. We shouldn’t sit in judgement of a Family going through hell. They are not responsible for what he chose to do. Ted is at fault, and Ted alone.
"Bundy was born at a home for unwed mothers in Burlington, Vermont, on November 24, 1946. He remained there for two months after his birth. His mother, Louise Cowell, considered placing her baby up for adoption, but her father, Sam, apparently wanted the baby to join the family in Philadelphia. There, Bundy-then known as Theodore Cowell-began life thinking Louise was his sister, not his mother." Tyler Piccotti And Sara Kettler
Under these terrible circumstances Ted Bundy's Mum handled the situation very well. I was impressed with her recall of his education, she was quite a bright lady under a lot of pressure. A tragedy from start to finish!
Thanks for sharing this. Until seeing this, I hadn't considered Bundy's family as victims, but they are. I feel for Mrs. Bundy. She must have felt enormous shame in her son.
She seemed to be absolutely so in love w her son. She smiles @ him, she just seems to adore him. Only a mother's love. It's too bad he disappointed her when he turned pure evil. Blessings her heart
To me the death penalty is the most humane way to end the life of one who has taken the life of another, yet Ted Bundy's Mom considers the Deathy Penalty to be the most primative, barbaric thing that one human can pose against another human.
Im pretty sure there is many mothers who love even more than her but wouldn't tolerate the evil shi he did. She is fkn lost. I have no admiration for her nor her stupid denial, on the contrary, imo she is defending evil, other moms would say something like feel sorry for the victims and say that he must pay, but btch just denied even after the necrophiliac rapist admitted. F em.
How embarrassing it must have been to have your own mother there to witness all of the testimony and images of his horrible acts. In the end, Florida and the families of his victims prevailed and he was put to death.
I have to say judge C. is a very good judge. He has class and during breaks he likes to laugh and tell stories. Especially about the woman juror who was so hungry after the trial. I guess they were given sandwiches.. But he thanked them for their civic duty and dismissed them. She didn't leave till she ate quite a few lol. And how he addressed Ted Bundy after sentencing says a lot about his character!; Before he was a judge he was a motorcycle police officer in Miami. I guaranteed he made jokes and gave breaks to the motorist ? He deserves everything he got the death penalty for. But that judge's comment at the end I believe he was right about Bundy. I can't get my mind around how someone with a beautiful girlfriend and little girl, smart going places could do the horror acts he did!! Such a waste of a up and coming career. But the DEVIL got fried!!!
She seems like a wonderful lady. Often times the parents of a serial killer come across as odd but she seems so very sweet. It must have been an awful thing for her.
Some documentaries have called her a cold and distant mother and I believe those to be true for a person to turn out like that has to start from the womb
His mother was his sister and the one he thought was his real mother was in fact his grandmother just back then to be a single mom wasn't a thing so they lied about who was the mother apparently he knew when he was 19 years old. It is what I heard I don't if it's true or not 🤷 🤔
Ted's mother Louise was just as sad and pathetic as he was. Parents always ready to protect and defend their kids no matter what they did. She says for any human to take another humans life is wrong. She apparently didn't tell her son that.
She thought she had a God fearing, loving son who lived a good life and many who knew him thought the same. They didn’t know they had an evil monster right beside them. He ruined the rest of his mother’s life but he was still her son and no mother wants to believe they gave birth to evil.
SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE ASKED LOUISE BUNDY, WHERE WAS TED, ON 8/31/61, THE NIGHT ANNMARIE BURR, WAS KIDNAPPED N BURIED IN THE FOUNDATION OF UNIV OF WASH BUILDING, SHE KNOWS BUT ACTS DUMB, AND SHE'S A FILTHY LIER, SHE LIED TO NUTJOB TEDDY, ALL HIS LIFE, FOUND OUT AT 15, WHEN HE KILLED ANNMARIE, THAT SHE WAS HIS MOTHER, NOT SISTER, 15 YEARS SHE LIED, AND 7 STATES, HAD TO LOSE BEAUTIFUL LADIES, CAUSE OF HER PROMISCUOUS BEHAVIOR, NO ANGEL THERE🖕🤡 THE BIDENS ARE RELATED, LOOK AT CRACKHEAD HUNTER N TEDDY CREEPY F!! F THE WHOLE BUNDY CLAN, THEY SHOULD SUFFER, THEY CREATED IT, GACY'S FAMILY TOO!! PROCREATING MORE MENTALLY ILL HUMANS, NO PEACE FOR VICTIMS FAMILIES, ABSOLUTELY ZERO, FOR SERIAL KILLERS FAMILY'S, 🖕🤮FTRB,FJWG, FJBLGB 🧠⚰️💩
His parents also seems psycho. It doesn’t seems she has any regard or any empathy about victims and how they get killed by his son. She argues his son can be useful for society & she is against his execution. She will keep meeting him in jail. Seems she is enjoying ‘lime light’. What a pathetic woman.
I agree. It’s bizarre that even right to the last minute when he admitted to her everything he had done she still didn’t even mention any remorse for the victims family’s or nothing.
She didn't raise Ted, his violent abusive grandpa did. Ted found out he was actually the person he thought washis sister around the age of 12 I believe?
I don't believe a thing happened to Ted that justified the horrific pain and agony he cause those poor innocent women. He didn't go after monsters. He murdered innocent women and deliberately made their last moments on earth full of pain and terror. I don't believe Ted's mother loved him. I think she loved the person Ted pretended to be.
i agree. shuld be allowed to see the faces. also findit interesting that almost all the jurers here were black. they all made the right choice unlike most jurers today
Speaking from my experience,9 brother and sister,blue collar,I had a few dysfunctional years,hurt my parents,21 yrs of therapy/ apologized,still under certain circumstances my head slumps... families...what have we learned 👀☮️
Watching ted and his mother on here smiling you would never believe what they were all in court for how can she believe that her son deserves to live after after what he did to all of those young girls 🤬
Fascinating. I am not a lawyer.. so this question is aimed at any lawyer (or law student) who reads this: Are defense attorneys (or prosecutors for that matter) allowed to voice an objection to the judge during final statements? There were a few things the prosecutor said that, in my layman opinion, would have triggered an immediate objection were I a defense attorney. Either way, Thanks Carol for making this available. Again, fascinating to watch. Oh... one funny anecdote to those who have read this far: A very good friend of mine was married in the courthouse in Orlando (where the trial took place) where a bunch of tables were stored out of the way. On one of them, the name "BUNDY" had been carved into the table, very deeply. (I figure that was his way of killing time (no pun) with a pen or some other instrument not considered to be a weapon). We jokingly all expressed our temptation to steal the table and put it in one of our residents. Of course we didn't, but were we a different sort, it would NOT have been hard to do in the middle of the pomp and circumstance (and chaos) of a large wedding. I have no idea why they left that table out in the open.
Hi there… Yes, both defense and prosecutors are allowed to object during closing arguments if they believe that the opposing side is making an improper argument. Typically, objections during closing arguments are made on the grounds of improper statements, mischaracterization of the evidence, or arguments that go beyond the scope of the evidence presented in the trial. When an objection is made, the judge will determine whether the argument being objected to is proper or improper. If the judge determines that the argument is improper, the judge may instruct the jury to disregard the argument or may order the attorney to refrain from making similar arguments in the future. In some cases, the judge may also declare a mistrial if the improper argument is serious enough to prejudice the outcome of the trial. It is important to note that objections during closing arguments are generally made for the purpose of preserving issues for appeal, rather than changing the outcome of the trial. The judge will make rulings on the objections, but the final decision on the arguments and evidence presented will ultimately be made by the jury.
I just watched a video before this one from grimmlifecollective, and he went to a museum that has that exact (assuming) table. They put plexiglass over it to protect the carving. They probably didn’t know the carving at the time and that’s probably why it was left out in the open.
She is one homely looking lady. She fails to mention the circumstances of Teds birth and how she didnt want him at first. She tries to paint a normal picture of his childhood and up bringing.
I realised that people have so much trauma they don't even know life is not perfect. I recently found out parents are narcs at 28 years old. Like bundy I thought my family was perfect. But me and parents have never really talked to each other
I found out that both of my parents were high on the narcissism spectrum when I was 59. They destroyed me and my whole life. I’m scrambling to pick up the few little pieces at 64.
Too bad his mother didn't talk about her pregnancy with Ted, that she was sent away to have him in an unwed mother's home & never revealed who his biological father was. Could be very revealing to learn. I don't like her. She strikes me as being narcissistic herself. Who smiles throughout their testimony at their son's murder trial? Creepy.
Judge cowart was an amazing guy. So attentive and kind. How he immediately picked up on his moms anxiety and reassured her all would be just fine was tops. He seems like he was a great person.
It is sad that he cannot appreciate the love a mother has for their children. If he did, the thought of killing anyone would have been repugnant to him.
The defense thought all those women and black males they picked for the jury, would be more sympathetic. Prosecution knew Bundy and evidence was so bad, they had confidence in that jury no matter who was who. They were right!! Thank God.

When you have to put your mother on the stand for defense all is lost.
For sure!
this was sentencing. He was already convicted.
Punishment should be personal, not carried out by some abstract interpretation of the law.
He enjoyed each second of it. Self-publicity for his huge psychopathic ego
Oh, yes, an abundance of narcissistic supply!
He looked embarrassed by the end
Exactly. The thing had to have his ego built up constantly, I guarantee you. I heard that the one thing that bothered him most was rejection.
Shades of Lori Cox VallowDaybell.
What are you basing that on?
He was the image of her but Fancy putting your own mother through something like this.. his sickening selfishness knew no bounds..
🧐👍🏻
Things were much different back then. If your family member was sentenced by the state To die Your family didn't abandon you What he did he did was horrific But his mother loved him to the end I feel bad for her I hope her soul rests. Back Then family used to pick up the body and actually have a service. That doesn't happen these days you end up in a potter's grave. He had that Dignity of being creamAted and had his ashes thrown over the cascadian mountains
5:24 "How did you raise Ted?"
If Louise Bundy had been honest here, as uncomfortable as it might have been, I wonder if the jury might have felt more sympathy for Ted. He was actually raised to believe that Louise was his sister, not his mother. His father was unknown (still to this day). According to testimony from other family members, Ted's grandfather (who Ted was told was his father) was incredibly violent, racist and abusive to animals. When he was four years old, Ted was taken away from his "father" to live with his "sister" on the other side of the country. He only found out that his sister was his mother when he was in his 20s.
The point of this testimony, already having been found guilty, was to convince the judge and the jury to spare Ted the death penalty and give him life in prison. Had Ted, Louise and the lawyers been open and honest about his upbringing, perhaps the judge and jury would have recognised how disruptive and psychologically damaging his childhood had been and felt more sympathy when sentencing him. However, the crimes were terrible, and this was in Florida, and the death sentence had just been made constitutional again, so it might not have changed much.
It wouldn't have changed much given the gravity of his crimes.
I've read this to...His violence could well have been a mixture of nature and nurture
So important to know truth about betrayal in his childhood
What a mess
Yes I read that about Ted and his mother. But there was a rumor that Teds Grandfather was his biological father too ?? I think it worked out the way it should’ve for Ted getting the Death Penalty, especially Ted being knowledgeable about the law . If he got a life sentence he might have found away using the law to be back out on the streets again doing the same thing but maybe even worse. 😮
Many of us have abusive parents, tragedy and trauma in our childhood. We didn't become mass murderers and that can't be used to excused something so evil.
Can you imagine being suicidal and calling a center and Ted Bundy picks up the call??? Heavens.........
That was the anomaly. He could be a caring, empathetic person, but it was a facade. That facade could drop easily to reveal a dark, malignant persona. Ann Rule, the famous true crime author who wrote the classic, "The Stranger Beside Me," worked alongside Bundy at this call center. Being a former detective, as the crimes rolled out across the country and Ted checked in with her, her suspicions were aroused, yet she had a hard time reconciling the criminal side of Bundy with the Ted she had worked with at the call center.
Hello Richard..just read your comment. Have you read Anne Rule’s book ‘The Stranger Beside me’? She wrote about TB and the time she, too, volunteered at the same crisis centre when he did. She wrote that he would, on his shift, just ignore the calls...What a revelation for her when the news broke about his murders. That would be shiver-making.
That would be my luck for sure.
I can’t understand the irony in that. He took lives but at the same time, cared to be a crisis line worker. As a former 911 dispatcher I couldn’t fathom being both a monster and a compassionate person for those in distress
Also, I feel so sad for anyone’s mother whose child ends up being a killer. I just couldn’t imagine the emotional pain of that
My mom was an admin at the University of Washington Law School. I asked her if Ted ever gave her a creepy feeling and she said no, not at all, but she never liked him because he was always trying to manipulate people and situations to his advantage.
I do not believe it. Why is it your mom doesn like manipulative behavior and at the same time like it?
Well thats something narcisist and psychopats do...
I don’t think it’s really fair of anybody to say she didn’t care about the victims that he killed. If it was your child, your child is number one in your heart. You don’t automatically just look at them the way the rest of society would. She was probably tormented on the inside by what he did, but also the deep love she had as a mother for her son. None, absolutely none of us, should be judging her. She didn’t do it, and I think she cared a lot. The enormity of what he did would be unfathomable to any mother, if it was their son. I feel truly sorry for his family too. He destroyed them as well.
She can love him but lm not interested in anything she has to say. It's irrelevant. He was born, he was a child and then he was a depraved bastard. I would never have stood on that stand.
Agreed , I’ve seen a clip of his brother and his life is in pieces too , it he’s doing best he can .
I could have not put it any better, well said!
Well said
She doesn't look tormented at all, she is in a state of denial and dillusion.....
Death penalty is barbaric? Then how would she describe what her son did?
Yeah that was the obvious thing to pick up on, what about the rest of what she said. Leave this poor lady alone! She hasn’t done anything wrong!
He takes lives.. and the state takes lives.. whats the difference..?
Elegant kills 😂😂😂😂
ya but shes the type who still doesnt think its correct to kill a person like her son even for what he did shes one of those "christians"
At that point Ted was still denting it was him so she could believe he didn't.
Without knowing any backstory, you’d think he was just another attorney in the courtroom. His ability to look professional, blend in and be likable was definitely a big part of what made him evil. Just goes to show you, an image goes a long way, even if it’s just a facade or trick.
Halo Effect in effect. His looks, fitness and full head of hair was disarming to the female victims that were duped and then killed. A guy like BTK or Ridgeway could never get that close in the context that Bundy did during his ruses.
Likable? Looks like a weasel
My aunt was the forensic pathologist on this case. She said he tried to " charm" her and she "wasn't having that crap!"
Wow, that is VERY interesting!
She had no doubt seen it all before - narcissistic killers like Bundy are arch manipulators.
Get her to write a book!
yea amd im thew queen of england
He’s handsome it’s a shame he’s that way in his head. SMH
We really need more judges like Judge Cowart presiding over court rooms of today. The man is a legend, he conducts himself with fairness, impartiality and most importantly, empathy for everyone, the jury, the witnesses, the prosecution, the defense and the worst of them all, Bundy. I wish more judges followed in his footsteps. RIP Judge Cowart!
Except for the last statement he made to Ted in front of victims. Disgusting.
Wait the judge die already no way..... well I love the line when he said to ted that they will put him on the electric chair 💺 until your whole body is dead.
*courtrooms
@@ashleypg1708 yeah his last comment was like a slap in the face to his victims sitting right in that room.
He was a piece of shit who could not contain his admiration and love for a sadistic, unrepentant killer.
If she doesn't believe in death penalty, how did she think of the many death penalties he son applied on the many young women her son killed?
She didn’t care about the victims. Even right to the last minute when he admitted he killed over 30 women all she was bothered about was him and his excuses.
Jesus you can’t expect a mother to stop protecting and living her child. It doesn’t matter what they have done. It’s a universal law of nature! And this poor mother had no control over her feelings of love for her child just like all of us who are mothers!
Im not for it either. Eye for eye.. never made justice. It makes more hate and shows that its ok to kill.
There are many victims and victims’ families who don’t believe in the death penalty, either. For one, it’s not the state’s place to do that. For another, it’s society’s obligation to be better than the most evil amongst us. Third, there are a dozen different psychologies and motivations behind murder, and not all are deserving of being written off as evil. The state is horrible at determining someone’s real motive/psychology, so we shouldn’t have the same reaction to all murderers. However, it gets tricky when trying to assess Ted Bundy’s mother here. Too many families/friends are blindly loyal to someone, despite what they’ve done to others. Ted Bundy was obviously evil to the core, but his psychopathy successfully charmed people. I don’t lose sleep over the fact he’s dead. But the practice of the death penalty, itself, is wrong.
This is his mom. C'mon!
I feel for Mrs. Bundy, but the victims families don’t get any more contact visits with their loved ones so why should he?
I hate to say this , but his mother wasn't being honest while on the stand . It was later discovered as a fact that Ted Bundy went through absolute hell at home. I won't go into all of the details. You'll have to Google it. I'm also not making any excuses for Ted Bundy neither. Regardless of whatever justice had to be served
He was his grandfather's child.
Was it the stepfather that abused him and the mom?
There are rumors that his grandfather..who was apparently very deviant..was actually his father as well as his gf
Exactly. The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule.
I can’t watch her. A Terrible mother
No mother wants to believe she gave birth to evil.
It’s actually a hormonal thing that happens to mothers when their babies are born. We love our children no matter what and we gave no control over that. That’s Mother Nature at work and there’s nothing any mother can do to change it. Which is a good thing!
Pues ella no cree así , el ultima día q llamo ted la mamá le dijo q lo quería y siempre será su hijo sea malo o bueno las madres los aman así si no tiene mejor no decir nada
Except for the many many mothers who MURDER their own children. Women are NOT all magically wonderful mothers 😂@@Scorpio72350
I think she fucked up raising him.
Well I heard his grandfather was teds dad. His mother got pregnant by her dad
I think Ted fooled his mother and everyone around him.
I think so also, if you've ever seen any of his long form interviews, he can charming, comes across as very intelligent and his looks are disarming. I know a lot of people are on here attacking his mother, but she probably compartmentalized everything. She knows he's a monster for what he did, but she had a lifetime of him being the nice, responsible son.
Ya think?
@@powerboatguy2308 She raised him to believe she was his sister because she was unwed. She allowed her father, Ted's grandfather, to beat the hell out of him, show him p0rn and all of the other sick things he did. She taught her kids to be quiet and pretend they are the picture, perfect family. She continued to sick cycle of secrecy which is why Ted hated her. There is no truth to this woman. I don't care what anyone says, he was raised in a sick environment. There is NO stats or science that people are "born evil". There IS evidence that an unhealthy environment causes and/or perpetuates maladaptive behaviors. Every kid needs different rearing. They have emotional needs. This woman is heavily Christian as well that practically beat this in all of her kids. Please with the "compartmentalizing". She was NOT a nice woman.
I agree, Ted lived a double life
@@Desantisgogobootsshe left her abusive Father when Ted was 4 and a half. The man she married from all accounts was wonderful. He adopted Ted
Husband was a cook since 1952 and she was a stay at home mom! Those were the days!
The narrative that Mrs. Bundy presented here of a stable, wholesome, safe, loving family unit was FAR from the reality of his upbringing and family life. So far.
Those were the days if that's what they both wanted. Many women have different aspirations than cooking and cleaning and raising kiddos. That has to be respected too.
Imagine being able to raise 5+ children and buy a home in a fairly large city on just a cook's income. It's a shame the way we've allowed corporate greed to hollow out the middle class with low wages and price gouging, while the rich get richer.
what do you mean?? (sorry i have bad english)
Imagine a whole family living on one income. Unconceivable now
I feel for her. What an absolute nightmare for any mother
The depth of his depravity - killed dozens of people, then has his MOM as a character witness????????? What did he think that was going to do [other than torture her???]
She’s in complete denial of her fiend of a son, she’s oblivious as to what her son is all about. The personification of EVIL.
Yes,she was. Though Ted did fool a lot of people.
I don't think she's oblivious at all. Just his mom.
U don't know what she is about. Image is not always truth.
She didn't want to believe that he was a monster
I think she was a good hearted niave/soft invidivual who he took advantage of. I think her lack of assertiveness in his upbringing potentially contributed to how he turned out, but she and the rest of the family were victims too
@@nevadatan7323 Tears come to my eyes. This woman does not have a word for the sacrifices of these cattle. Disgusting.
Bless your heart,no mother ever thinks her beloved child would end up this way💔 I’m also amazed at her poise and demeanor, I would be a sobbing wreck 💔
This is riveting. Wonder what he's thinking? He always looks like a corpse to me during this whole trial. Nervous too.
This bundy lady was lost in her own reality
Imagine your in a crisis and this one’s answering the phone?
He apparently saved lives while he was doing that job. And it might have been before the killings began. Regardless of anything else though, it has been confirmed that he did save lives during those phone calls.
Mum
Saying barbaric about the state of Florida execution for Ted .. but he executed his own victims
Wait until you hear the stupid excuses of Chris Watts‘ mother.
She is a mother... give her a break
Ted’s reaction at the end was so telling. He has no humanity . His mother deep
Down knew what he was , but couldn’t accept it. Poor woman !! 😭
He looked embarrassed actually
What you mean ?
She didn't know if he was guilty or not at this point of the trial. It wasn't until Ted got founded guilty and he confessed that she knew he actually did it
@@JDJoshofficialI think he told her very near to his death. Day of, I think.
Poor woman, my eye
We haven't lost a mother in a long time. I'd feel better if he said "lost one yet" - who was the mother they DID lose?
His poor mum…yes of course I feel terribly for his victims and their families too but I imagine his mother was heartbroken at what her son did.
It doesn't look like it
Ted moms has nothing to do with his killings.I pity her so much.She's old and weak,hard up looking and kind looking and yet her son gave her too much stress and misery .She doesnt deserved this.May God bless you Mrs.Bundy.I hope you are now in peace already and the families of all the victims.
Aww his mum seems a lovely caring lady it’s so sad her son turned out like this how would anyone feel if it was their child god bless you mrs Bundy none of this is your fault she is a victim as well you can’t just stop loving your son no matter what he has done
She is opposed to the death penalty but yet can't see that her son killed so many young women robbing them and their families. I am all in favor of the death penalty especially in cases like this.
Shes responsible . Never had time for Ted
Absolutely wrong. His mother is playing the victim just like he does. You can still see her enabling his horrible behavior. And the fact that she didnt take responsibility for him as her son in his early life absolutely played a part in his psychopathy.
If she was so lovely and caring, why did she lie to him for yrars and tell him she was his sister?
'Seems', just like he did. A lovely caring lady would not have stood by such a monster bragging on him and giving him full support, throwing loving and proud glances at him. Disgusting.
When he was torturing and killing young women didn't it cross his mind that his mother was once a young woman like his victims?
Best comment 🖤
You would think he would. But criminals don't think. They just kill. The mind boggling thing is that Bundy could kill any of the other women in the courtroom and not be bothered by it. Psychologists also said that Bundy sought revenge on the woman who broke up with him yrs ago. So every young woman who resembled this girl he would torture, rape and kill.
Or his sisters
That's probably what he was striking out against...his mother, who he felt had wronged him, and his first girlfriend who had rejected him.
Damned whores and God's police. A polarised way of classifying women. Typical of misogynists.
She considered the death penalty barbaric all the while casually ignoring the barbaric murders her son committed. And clever of that defense lawyer to present her and her family as a wholesome all American family when the opposite was true.
At least he got gang-raped while in the death row.
Also disgusting that he was allowed to keep banging a woman while incarcerated.
Imo he and that woman should "please" the entire death row, one in front of the other, even with his mom watching, for him used her in courtroom, to try to teach something to that evil pos.
The death penalty is barbaric.....
They were a lovely family for the most part and all families have a secret somewhere. Ted had a pretty good upbringing compared to a lot of people!
There are none of us who can honestly say there are no " skeletons" in your family closets.
@@Scorpio72350 sure, he had a lovely upbringing compared to, say, Charles Manson. But that's a very low bar to set, isn't it?
He was left alone for weeks as a newborn in a unmarried mothers home. He had very little contact with people, no hugs or skin-on-skin contact (which is important for newborns) and then he was raised by his grandparents (who he thought were his real parents until he acquired a copy of his birth certificate in his twenties) no one knows who his father is, I don't think even his own mother knows..
So his mother is running around sleeping with multiple men and gets pregnant, tries to abort the baby but it fails, she eventually gives birth and then abandons the baby for weeks, only to palm him off to her own parents when she *finally* picks him up.. Yeah, she sounds like a real class act 🤮
She was a cold and selfish liar, Ted must of inherited the trait from her
At 4.5 years old, it was already too late.
If that was my mom she'd flip me off on the way out lol
James, maybe this was part of the problem. Perhaps she always stuck up for him when he was in the wrong. (Or. He never could do wrong) I n her eyes.
@@Angela-hv9jvAt this point in the trial she didn't know for sure if Ted actually committed the murders. It wasn't until he was found guilty and Ted confessed that she knew
As a mother myself I can only imagine the rollercoaster of emotions Louise was going through, I truly feel sorry for her. Its clear she did everything she could as a mother to raise him well. I have watched enough Ted Bundy content to know he is among the worst of the worst barbaric evil that has roamed this planet. R.I.P to all his victims, known & unknown 🕯Respect to Carol, Karen, Rhonda & all who other unknown survivors🌹
As a mother, would you pretend to be your child`s sister instead of a mom?
@@yurgenlevi7980exactly
Alot good parents they raise their children with good morals and values and to respect people. If their child become Serial killer then they would be ashamed of their child and disown them.
I feel her pain deep inside my soul...
It's not clear at all. We only see her recited testimony. We don't see how she treated this bastard as he was growing up. I'm not defending Ted. Just saying that we have no idea what kind of mother she was.
The face/looks/mannerisms of a sociopath. Charming but soulless.
It’s all happy families until you have to appear in court concerning the shenanigans of your prolific necrophile psychopath serial killer son (who grew up believing you were his sister).
She forgot that part in testimony. I wonder why.
Co-dependent narcissist
I can feel her heart breaking. She was the reason for his academic accomplishments. She, herself is intelligent and likely helped him to become studious and detailed.
He broke her heart.
Just looking at him is mindboggling.
Louise bundy seems like a good sweet soul,I remember her saying how sorry she was that her son did this to the parents of Susan rancourt ,u could hear the pain her her voice,Susan's parents told her they didn't blame her and they realized ted is sick.
Ironic that Bundy outlived the Judge....
Teds mom is hiding the fact that Ted grew up thinking that Louise, his bio mom was his sister and that his grandparent were his parents.
I am so very sorry for all the families who lost loved ones because of him. May they be blessed in the peace of God. Also, his mother, I am sorry for her. I don't know or understand what could make anyone do such unspeakable things to someone else. There is no easy answer, only God knows. Such a waste of his own life too. He was intelligent and successful. He worked very hard for all of his lawful accomplishments, he could have really been somebody remarkable. But this darkness inside him robbed him of being the son, husband, father and friend he could have been. Killing is wrong. All this needless suffering by everyone whose life this touched. May God continue to comfort them all always.
I'm wondering if drugs played a part about n his behaviour distortions.
He had that oversized male ego and that takes you further away from the God source. Extreme narcissism is a spiritual/soul disorder.
Feel so sorry for her. I cant imagine the heartache and shame she felt.
She has an incredible memory, recalling all these dates, and places...
True I can't even recall my school years I'm 29😮
I have noticed that too.Spontaneous response.Mrs.Bundy might be intelligent too.Poor woman.May God bless you Mrs.bundy.
The expression on his face seeing his mother. It shows hes ashamed hurting her. God Bless his mother
A mother will fight for her child. Always. That doesn't mean she doesn't care about the victims or what he has done. She can't help it. It's her child.
Not true at all. Some people, usually girls, have parents that hate them because they’re too good. The kid is scapegoated for life. Narcissistic parents like this can’t stand to face how evil they really are.
@@christar9527ignorant asf it’s obvious your mom wasn’t in your life that’s his mother dumbass
Well, lady, your son ABUSED, TORTURED, and MURDERED dso many human beings. For her to say the death penalty is barbaric, is an absolute joke! If she really had such a GREAT relationship to her son, how come she never suspected?
She stuck her Ostrich head in the sand.
Because he was a psychopath and master manipulator, and they are absolute geniuses at hiding their pathologies from people they don’t want to know about them. He was also charming and always employed, often in jobs that helped a lot of people, and they were close, so it’s not really surprising at all that she still felt they had a great relationship.
Porque ted no aparentaba ? O es q no ve
His mother is very sweet and what she had to say is touching, but he has estimated that he may have killed over 100 women, no need for him to live.
I love Judge Cowarts accent♥️I feel sorry for Bundy's mum
Yeah, I also dig the Florida accent. Just listen to George (Bob) Dekle (Bundy's prosecutor) ruclips.net/video/Qllnay9ZWv0/видео.html
She didn’t feel sorry enough for what her son had done
@@nesadcruz7840exactly people saying they feel sorry for her. Even when he admitted to her he killed over 30 women all she’s could talk about was him and his excuses and not mentioned ANYTHING about the victims.
@@6859benbecause she genuinely believed he was innocent. Bundy was a master manipulator, he had a lot of people fooled. His own Mother didn’t stand a chance at seeing who or what he really was. You think you know your kids better than anybody. I think when he finally admitted it, it destroyed her but she had to keep it together for the other 4 kids. You should see his little brother Richard now, it’s completely wrecked his life. I see him as one of Teds victims. He idolised him. Now it’s like he almost feels some responsibility. It’s terrible. We shouldn’t sit in judgement of a Family going through hell. They are not responsible for what he chose to do. Ted is at fault, and Ted alone.
Thanks 4 posting 🖤
"Bundy was born at a home for unwed mothers in Burlington, Vermont, on November 24, 1946. He remained there for two months after his birth. His mother, Louise Cowell, considered placing her baby up for adoption, but her father, Sam, apparently wanted the baby to join the family in Philadelphia. There, Bundy-then known as Theodore Cowell-began life thinking Louise was his sister, not his mother." Tyler Piccotti And Sara Kettler
Under these terrible circumstances Ted Bundy's Mum handled the situation very well. I was impressed with her recall of his education, she was quite a bright lady under a lot of pressure. A tragedy from start to finish!
I just skipped mum 😅and then read she😮
Of course she did, it was a scripted lie.
A evil monster is a evil monster, he was just born that way, and no mother can do anything to change that.
Thanks for sharing this. Until seeing this, I hadn't considered Bundy's family as victims, but they are. I feel for Mrs. Bundy. She must have felt enormous shame in her son.
You should watch the interviews with his mother right before he was executed. Zero sympathy for her and her excuses.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged Are you KIDDING??? She LOVED her son! No one wants to see her son turn out like that or go to hell!
And fear of him going to hell. She is religious.
She seemed to be absolutely so in love w her son. She smiles @ him, she just seems to adore him. Only a mother's love. It's too bad he disappointed her when he turned pure evil. Blessings her heart
@ImaRandomFemale that is correct. His grandparents raised him until the age of 4. Then she took over.
I can’t believe his mother was asked how she would feel if he were executed. Geez.
Yes this transition of question was a bit brutal 🙈
Do you have any footage of the prosecutor interviewing Mrs Bundy?
A decent, intelligent mother humiliated by the actions of her crazy , perverted son still tries to save his heinous hide.
No parent should have to go through this--not in the sense that it wasn't necessary; just in the sense that it's so sad and horrible
To me the death penalty is the most humane way to end the life of one who has taken the life of another, yet Ted Bundy's Mom considers the Deathy Penalty to be the most primative, barbaric thing that one human can pose against another human.
A mothers love knows no bounds
Im pretty sure there is many mothers who love even more than her but wouldn't tolerate the evil shi he did.
She is fkn lost. I have no admiration for her nor her stupid denial, on the contrary, imo she is defending evil, other moms would say something like feel sorry for the victims and say that he must pay, but btch just denied even after the necrophiliac rapist admitted. F em.
His mother has blood on her hands. She made him.
How embarrassing it must have been to have your own mother there to witness all of the testimony and images of his horrible acts. In the end, Florida and the families of his victims prevailed and he was put to death.
I have to say judge C. is a very good judge. He has class and during breaks he likes to laugh and tell stories. Especially about the woman juror who was so hungry after the trial. I guess they were given sandwiches.. But he thanked them for their civic duty and dismissed them. She didn't leave till she ate quite a few lol.
And how he addressed Ted Bundy after sentencing says a lot about his character!;
Before he was a judge he was a motorcycle police officer in Miami.
I guaranteed he made jokes and gave breaks to the motorist ? He deserves everything he got the death penalty for. But that judge's comment at the end I believe he was right about Bundy. I can't get my mind around how someone with a beautiful girlfriend and little girl, smart going places could do the horror acts he did!! Such a waste of a up and coming career.
But the DEVIL got fried!!!
Dude just chilling like he in court for tickets …😂
She closes her eyes while talking just like Ted
She talks and looks like him too.
I wish I could make my mother this proud
Wow,death penalty is barberic according to her .but how would she describe what her son did ❓❓❓🙄🙄🙄🙄
He looks just like his mother
His mothers haircut is legendary.
She seems like a wonderful lady. Often times the parents of a serial killer come across as odd but she seems so very sweet. It must have been an awful thing for her.
Nope, she was making excuses for his crimes right up to him being fried.
@@sarcasticallyrearrangedshe's just a mother
Some documentaries have called her a cold and distant mother and I believe those to be true for a person to turn out like that has to start from the womb
His mother was his sister and the one he thought was his real mother was in fact his grandmother just back then to be a single mom wasn't a thing so they lied about who was the mother apparently he knew when he was 19 years old. It is what I heard I don't if it's true or not 🤷 🤔
That’s very interesting, is that about the time he started killing women ?.@@MagaliMorris
How does having academic and occupational credentials have anything to do with being a moral and empathetic human being ?
Ted's mother Louise was just as sad and pathetic as he was. Parents always ready to protect and defend their kids no matter what they did. She says for any human to take another humans life is wrong. She apparently didn't tell her son that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, because she didn't know he was a murderer until one of his last night's alive she always thought he was innocent
She thought she had a God fearing, loving son who lived a good life and many who knew him thought the same. They didn’t know they had an evil monster right beside them. He ruined the rest of his mother’s life but he was still her son and no mother wants to believe they gave birth to evil.
thats what manipulators do. Ted was a master of deception.
SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE ASKED LOUISE BUNDY, WHERE WAS TED, ON 8/31/61, THE NIGHT ANNMARIE BURR, WAS KIDNAPPED N BURIED IN THE FOUNDATION OF UNIV OF WASH BUILDING, SHE KNOWS BUT ACTS DUMB, AND SHE'S A FILTHY LIER, SHE LIED TO NUTJOB TEDDY, ALL HIS LIFE, FOUND OUT AT 15, WHEN HE KILLED ANNMARIE, THAT SHE WAS HIS MOTHER, NOT SISTER, 15 YEARS SHE LIED, AND 7 STATES, HAD TO LOSE BEAUTIFUL LADIES, CAUSE OF HER PROMISCUOUS BEHAVIOR, NO ANGEL THERE🖕🤡 THE BIDENS ARE RELATED, LOOK AT CRACKHEAD HUNTER N TEDDY CREEPY F!!

Carol is there a full interview with Margaret Good in any of the documentaries you have?
His parents also seems psycho. It doesn’t seems she has any regard or any empathy about victims and how they get killed by his son. She argues his son can be useful for society & she is against his execution. She will keep meeting him in jail. Seems she is enjoying ‘lime light’. What a pathetic woman.
I agree. It’s bizarre that even right to the last minute when he admitted to her everything he had done she still didn’t even mention any remorse for the victims family’s or nothing.
We can actually see the jury !!!!
Where??? 👀
I give all the blame to her
...and to Ted' s real dad.
Wow I’ve never seen this before. Poor woman-knowing what your son turned into.
Its amazing how women lawyers have become stronger speakers compared to then.
She didn't raise Ted, his violent abusive grandpa did.
Ted found out he was actually the person he thought washis sister around the age of 12 I believe?
I don't believe a thing happened to Ted that justified the horrific pain and agony he cause those poor innocent women. He didn't go after monsters. He murdered innocent women and deliberately made their last moments on earth full of pain and terror. I don't believe Ted's mother loved him. I think she loved the person Ted pretended to be.
He conned her as he did the rest of us. Of course she loved him.
The good old days when we were allowed to see all the faces of the jury during the trial.
Maybe one day you'll end up on trail? For committing crime not as a lawyer I think we both know what I mean!
That was not good, though.
i agree. shuld be allowed to see the faces. also findit interesting that almost all the jurers here were black. they all made the right choice unlike most jurers today
This was in Orlando in 1979? At a glance it looked like half the jury was black. Would that have been unusual?
How was that good you freak? They'd just get doxxed and threatened/harassed/intimidated today
Blinded by motherhood.
Ted imposed the death penalty on many of his victims in the worst way..
Pobody's nerfect.
He has his mom's mannerism
It’s entirely possible that given the horrific abuse from Grandpa, that mom was raped by her father and trapped till she could get out.
Speaking from my experience,9 brother and sister,blue collar,I had a few dysfunctional years,hurt my parents,21 yrs of therapy/ apologized,still under certain circumstances my head slumps... families...what have we learned 👀☮️
I read several years ago that that was considered a possibility.
That thought crossed my mind, too
Watching ted and his mother on here smiling you would never believe what they were all in court for how can she believe that her son deserves to live after after what he did to all of those young girls 🤬
The people killed by him where not her children
Fascinating. I am not a lawyer.. so this question is aimed at any lawyer (or law student) who reads this: Are defense attorneys (or prosecutors for that matter) allowed to voice an objection to the judge during final statements? There were a few things the prosecutor said that, in my layman opinion, would have triggered an immediate objection were I a defense attorney.
Either way, Thanks Carol for making this available. Again, fascinating to watch.
Oh... one funny anecdote to those who have read this far:
A very good friend of mine was married in the courthouse in Orlando (where the trial took place) where a bunch of tables were stored out of the way. On one of them, the name "BUNDY" had been carved into the table, very deeply. (I figure that was his way of killing time (no pun) with a pen or some other instrument not considered to be a weapon).
We jokingly all expressed our temptation to steal the table and put it in one of our residents. Of course we didn't, but were we a different sort, it would NOT have been hard to do in the middle of the pomp and circumstance (and chaos) of a large wedding. I have no idea why they left that table out in the open.
Hi there… Yes, both defense and prosecutors are allowed to object during closing arguments if they believe that the opposing side is making an improper argument. Typically, objections during closing arguments are made on the grounds of improper statements, mischaracterization of the evidence, or arguments that go beyond the scope of the evidence presented in the trial.
When an objection is made, the judge will determine whether the argument being objected to is proper or improper. If the judge determines that the argument is improper, the judge may instruct the jury to disregard the argument or may order the attorney to refrain from making similar arguments in the future. In some cases, the judge may also declare a mistrial if the improper argument is serious enough to prejudice the outcome of the trial.
It is important to note that objections during closing arguments are generally made for the purpose of preserving issues for appeal, rather than changing the outcome of the trial. The judge will make rulings on the objections, but the final decision on the arguments and evidence presented will ultimately be made by the jury.
I just watched a video before this one from grimmlifecollective, and he went to a museum that has that exact (assuming) table. They put plexiglass over it to protect the carving.
They probably didn’t know the carving at the time and that’s probably why it was left out in the open.
This thread is so fascinating. This just made up for hours wasted reading rubbish in my phone
She is one homely looking lady. She fails to mention the circumstances of Teds birth and how she didnt want him at first. She tries to paint a normal picture of his childhood and up bringing.
she didn't want him at first cos her father got her pregnant.... allegedly
You're homely as well! Probably also a Karen
@@Bella.216No one is as homely as nasty Louise 🤢🤮🤢
I realised that people have so much trauma they don't even know life is not perfect. I recently found out parents are narcs at 28 years old. Like bundy I thought my family was perfect. But me and parents have never really talked to each other
I found out that both of my parents were high on the narcissism spectrum when I was 59. They destroyed me and my whole life. I’m scrambling to pick up the few little pieces at 64.
Too bad his mother didn't talk about her pregnancy with Ted, that she was sent away to have him in an unwed mother's home & never revealed who his biological father was. Could be very revealing to learn.
I don't like her. She strikes me as being narcissistic herself. Who smiles throughout their testimony at their son's murder trial? Creepy.
You are heartless and karma doesn't lose an address.
His mother just couldn’t wrap her brain around the amount of hate he had for women.
Judge cowart was an amazing guy. So attentive and kind. How he immediately picked up on his moms anxiety and reassured her all would be just fine was tops. He seems like he was a great person.
SHE IS 100 % OBLIVIOUS TO HER SON'S TROUBLES AND HIS MURDERS.
Considering all, wouldn't you choose to be oblivious?
It is sad that he cannot appreciate the love a mother has for their children. If he did, the thought of killing anyone would have been repugnant to him.
How could you put your own mother through this shit? This sick mofo should've gotten the chair as soon as the verdict came in as guilty!
The defense thought all those women and black males they picked for the jury, would be more sympathetic. Prosecution knew Bundy and evidence was so bad, they had confidence in that jury no matter who was who. They were right!! Thank God.
No mother should have to live with the fact that their child is a monster who killed 30+ women.
