		Aileen Wuornos' statements about how her murders were done in self-defense and that she was not the one to blame for them has been taken by most people to be the rantings of a madwoman who would say anything to make her look better, or to draw attention to herself.
		Aileen denied several times that she was a lesbian, although she did admit that she loved Tyria Moore, and that the two had formed an emotional bond.

		Aileen Wuornos, who became known as the first female serial killer in the U.S., faces execution.

	HBO: Aileen: Life and Death of Serial Killer - Synopsis
		In 1992, a year after Aileen Wuornos was arrested for the murders of seven men in Florida, filmmaker Nick Broomfield released the documentary "Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer." A decade later, they were reunited when he was subpoenaed to appear at her final state appeal before execution.
		Wuornos repeatedly rails against the "corrupt" cops making movie deals on her; she claims that they knew she killed the first man, but allowed her to remain free, in effect "cleaning the streets" by killing the others and making her story more valuable to sell, because she's now a serial killer.
		AILEEN: LIFE AND DEATH OF A SERIAL KILLER provides insights into the mind of a deeply disturbed killer who was betrayed from birth by those closest to her and raises troubling questions about the issues surrounding the execution of the mentally incompetent.

		Aileen was a prostitute convicted of the shooting murder of 7 men in central Florida between 1989 and 1990 and sentenced to death by electric chair.
		Aileen claims that the killings were all acts of self-defense, an opinion we tend to believe when we hear her horrific evidence in a filmed trial.
		Aileen is very alert to the fact that certain individuals are trying to make money out of her story, and she's very conscious of the fact that the legal system and society as a whole is eventually intent on casting her aside.

	[No title]
		On October 4, 2002, on behalf of Aileen Wuornos, next friend Florida Support by Director Sissel Egeland requests that this court grant an indefinite stay of execution to give Next Friend time and possibility to challenge the conclusion that Aileen Wuornos is competent and has voluntarily dismissed her appeals.
		Aileen may be able to cognitively repeat the in-learned sentences she knows the psychiatrists want, to be able to find her sane, without exposing the deeper layer of emotional psychotic chaos underneath this superficial situation.
		Aileen Wuornos must not and cannot be executed in the present situation, based on this unethical legal and psychiatric quickstep.

	Aileen Carol Wuornos #805 (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Wuornos confessed to the murder of all six men, claiming that she was picked up by the men when she was working as a highway prostitute, and shot them in self defense after they attempted to sexually assault her.
		Wuornos' final ride, in a hearse from the death chamber, was a far different road than the one that led to her execution.
		Wuornos biological uncle (also her adoptive brother), Barry Wuornos, said that his family had a "normal lifestyle" and was a "straight and narrow family." Barry acknowledged that his father (Aileen's biological grandfather) "laid down rules" but was someone you could look up to.

	Aileen Wuornos
		It is Aileen’s plea of self-defense in the killing of her first victim that Broomfield returns to again and again, and the brutal rape so horrifyingly depicted in Charlize Theron’s remarkable performance.
		Aileen, who keeps mentioning that she’s not really a serial killer, that it’s only "the numbers" that place her in this category, displays an eerie and fearful grasp of her situation.
		Her only affectionate relationship, with a lesbian lover, and Aileen’s betrayal by her, seems like salt in her many wounds and is a confirmation of a larger society that let a little girl down.

	Charlize Theron ~ Monster ~ Aileen Wuornos
		The documentary was a hard cold look at Aileen on death row, and showed her rantings and ravings much like a person we would put in an institution, not execute.
		Aileen's legal battle was a joke as she was defended by a pot smoking, anti-pornography advocate who did nothing to help Aileen, proving with a court appointed attorney, "you get what you pay for".

	Aileen: Life And Death Of A Serial Killer (2003)
		Filmed at Aileen Wuornos' request, and containing her last interviews, this unflinching film recounts Aileen's life at the margins of society and shows her escalating psychological unraveling as she approaches her execution.

		Wuornos sees her relationship with her adversaries -- and these are numerous -- in seemingly simple terms.
		Mistreated by her relatives, a prostitute as a child, raped repeatedly, and living outside in the snow for two years in her teens, Wuornos surely has good reason to be angry and devastated (which is not the same as saying she has license to murder, obviously).
		You have to kill Aileen Wuornos because she'll kill again." Whether or not she has absorbed this thinking from the years of judgment (from childhood until now), the point is surely made -- again and again -- by the media coverage of the execution.

		Speaking of documentaries, I recently watched the DVD of "Aileen - Life and Death of a Serial Killer" which is truly harrowing.

		Wuornos killed strangers with a gun, an unusual but not unprecedented fact that the media seized upon and ran with rampantly.

		Wuornos had neither the stamina nor the planning skills necessary for such a record-breaking performance.
