  Unsurprising that a woman named Corazon had a stronger heart than the authorities thought she might when it came to testifying. That photo of her walking to the courthouse says it all; he brutally tortured and killed her friends and colleagues, and she was going to make sure he paid for it. Good on you, Nurse Amurao.

  I respect the fact you talked so much about the victims, and mentioned every single one by name. Too many murderers are so much better known than their victims.

  As a girl I watched that video of him in jail on national tv. It was disgusting. I didn’t previously know who he was but I hated him ever since. It was a debased debauchery on film, and he was disgusting. RIP to those eight ladies. Stay blessed Corazon Amurao.

  The killing of the bird showed that his medical condition had nothing to do with him being a monster.

  What a monster. Some people are just too twisted up inside and should be locked up permanently, whether in prison or a mental health facility. It doesn&apos;t matter if they&apos;ve suffered such severe trauma that it&apos;s not their fault or they don&apos;t understand what they&apos;re doing; other people still need to be protected from them

  In 1968 I did an oral report on amphetamines for my highschool health class. I included Richard Speck as part of the narrative. This monster only became MORE bizarre in prison. 😡

  My late mother in law&apos;s cousins used to play with Speck when they were kids and his family lived in the Dallas area in Texas. &nbsp;He was a creepy boy to the girls, even back then. &nbsp;He made her skin crawl and she&apos;d run back in the house and read instead of playing outside. &nbsp;Bullying and getting handsy with girls.

  I read an article about the doctors who reported their concerns about Corazon Amurao&apos;s mental stability, how they said they were worried she might lapse into some kind of psychosis under the pressure of testifying. In the article I read, it was stated that most of the doctors&apos; concerns were based entirely on racist and misogynistic assumptions, saying how her being a woman of Asian descent made her more prone to mental fatigue and collapse than might be a white woman. What a load of crap! She hung in there like a champ!
