Description

Aileen Wuornos was executed in Florida, on the 9th of October, 2002 at the age of 46.

She was the 10th woman to be sentenced to death in the USA since the death penalty resumed in 1976.

Convicted for the murder of six men, in a two month period, Aileen claimed she acted in self defence however the investigation into these claims was poor and she later retracted her statement announcing to the Supreme Court, "I'm one who seriously hates human life and would kill again." All-too-often female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers - the killings of Aileen 'Lee' Wuornos were the inverse of this.

She was a child prostitute, fleeing an abusive childhood at the hands of her grandparents, which led straight into a disastrous adulthood of difficult affairs with both men and women.

Her metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences: a stream of dead men.

Following a renewed interest in this woman after the film "Monster", this is her story in her own words.
