Lesson of contrast.
Tale of two Ed Castro's
both from from California.
I find it interesting the fate of people with same names same places, way different outcomes.
To be fair, one was an Edward other Edwin.
Emphasis on WIN.
(Did he really, though? Fishy night of PB draw and lawsuit)
Ed #1
Edward Castro (January 26, 1950 – December 7, 2000) was an American serial killer. An unemployed drifter from California, Castro fatally stabbed three men across Florida between late 1986 and early 1987. Tried for two of the murders, he was given a life sentence for one of them and sentenced to death for the other. He waived all of his appeals and dropped his defense team, telling the courts he wanted to be executed. Castro was executed at Florida State Prison by lethal injection in 2000.[1][2][3]
Edward Castro was born in El Cajon, California, on January 26, 1950.[1] The exact details of his childhood are not clear; it would come out in later years that when Castro was a child, he was a victim of sexual abuse, but distinct details of the events are not known.[4] He was also diagnosed with a brain disorder.[4] Upon becoming an adult, Castro moved to Florida. As an adult he struggled with alcohol abuse.[5]
