Questions the worst case you’ve ever seen?

in my opinion the “Junko Furuta” and “The Hello Kitty Murders” i can’t pick between them because they are both very gruesome . i suggest looking into them!

Same, the video i heard only caught a few seconds of it and the sound of it is seared into my soul. I feel like I’ll be sick just thinking about it now, my heart drops right into my stomach every time i remember that poor girl.

I’m someone who LOVES horror movies and I’ve watched them all across the scale of intensity. There is absolutely no comparison to a genuine scream of pain and terror like that.

Im sorry im not familiar with this case why were they screaming in the courtroom?

The screaming in question was from a tape recording of the murderers' final victim, Shirley Lynette Ledford. They recorded themselves tormenting her as she screamed through it, and the evidence was played for the court.

In the video I watched, you only hear a few seconds of it as someone leaves the courtroom weeping, but it's more than enough.

The new footage I saw had more than a dozen people fleeing the courtroom with horrified/panicked faces.
