With an emphasis on the moral implications of capital punishment, free will (or lack thereof), this episode focuses on a rare case where the cause of a killer’s psychopath is painstakingly clear. Charles Whitman and the tragedy of his killing spree in the University of Texas’ bell tower is an unspeakable end for innocent lives, but the hardest notion to swallow about this story may just be that the killer is as much a victim as any.
With the help of a circus elephant and a good, old fashioned autopsy, we can make sense of senseless killing.
Hate or love it, this is what Mania was made to do.
