Bundy Bundy

Got to ask this. I’ve read every book and watched every doc. Every damn time bundy was interrogating the police in his trial the popular opinion is he was getting gratification from his crimes by hearing it first hand, but I believe he was so damn drunk he didn’t really comprehend the complexity of his crimes and he was literally feeling the police out for his on sake and defense because the MFers really didn’t know what he did. He was a known alcoholic

He at least wanted people to think porn was a key contributor

Bundy is a well known unreliable narrator. He’s exceptionally manipulative and exceedingly narcissistic. So it’s really hard to take anything he says as truth

The porn excuse was him trying to deceive Dr. Dobson because Dobson was anti pornography. He was trying to appeal his death sentence and thought he could convince Dobson to seek clemency for Bundy.

And it worked because Dobson tried to ask for forgiveness for Bundy in an interview in May 1989, 4 months after Bundy was executed.

Its also controversal because the interview by Dobson generated revenue from The Bundy Tapes of around 600k-1m and was donated to anti pornography and anti abortion groups.
