And while some of the accused such as OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony, have walked free, the likes of Scott Peterson and Charles Manson have been put behind bars.
No one will ever forget serial killers John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer – each who targeted boys and young men. Between the two of them, they murdered at least 50 people. Each would die in prison: Gacy by lethal injection, while Dahmer was beaten to death by a fellow inmate.
