Was watching "Very Scary People" and the case of "The Dating Game Killer." The guy was busted with a tranche of children's pictures in varying stages of undress in his house. He was also caught with murder victims' jewelry, but each time he was convicted, things were overturned due to one stupid reason or another. And why can't they use past kidnappings to prove his guilt to the jury?

Thankfully, in the end, he ended up with an iron-clad sentence when DNA proved bite marks, semen and a fingerprint were his. Meanwhile, those poor parents had to go through three trials for five murders. He represented himself during the last trial, which likely pissed off the lawyers and the judges, so that probably weighed adversely on him too since they hate not getting their piece of the action.

This case goes back to 1977.
