How Did a Killer Predator Come to Exist?

When confronted with the depravity and suffering on the tapes, Lawrence claimed it was real funny. He not only claimed that the interaction with Shirley Levedford was entirely consensual, but also that she hadn't been tortured or killed in this presence. But the jury saw through his sadistic lies, and found him guilty of five counts of first-degree murder. This proceeded to a judge sentencing Lawrence to death, whereas Roy would be up for parole after serving 30 years of a 45-year sentence.
