5:24 "How did you raise Ted?"
If Louise Bundy had been honest here, as uncomfortable as it might have been, I wonder if the jury might have felt more sympathy for Ted. He was actually raised to believe that Louise was his sister, not his mother. His father was unknown (still to this day). According to testimony from other family members, Ted's grandfather (who Ted was told was his father) was incredibly violent, racist and abusive to animals. When he was four years old, Ted was taken away from his "father" to live with his "sister" on the other side of the country. He only found out that his sister was his mother when he was in his 20s.
The point of this testimony, already having been found guilty, was to convince the judge and the jury to spare Ted the death penalty and give him life in prison. Had Ted, Louise and the lawyers been open and honest about his upbringing, perhaps the judge and jury would have recognised how disruptive and psychologically damaging his childhood had been and felt more sympathy when sentencing him. However, the crimes were terrible, and this was in Florida, and the death sentence had just been made constitutional again, so it might not have changed much.

We really need more judges like Judge Cowart presiding over court rooms of today. The man is a legend, he conducts himself with fairness, impartiality and most importantly, empathy for everyone, the jury, the witnesses, the prosecution, the defense and the worst of them all, Bundy. I wish more judges followed in his footsteps. RIP Judge Cowart!

I hate to say this , but his mother wasn't being honest while on the stand . It was later discovered as a fact that Ted Bundy went through absolute hell at home. I won't go into all of the details. You'll have to Google it. I'm also not making any excuses for Ted Bundy neither. Regardless of whatever justice had to be served

I don’t think it’s really fair of anybody to say she didn’t care about the victims that he killed. If it was your child, your child is number one in your heart. You don’t automatically just look at them the way the rest of society would. She was probably tormented on the inside by what he did, but also the deep love she had as a mother for her son. None, absolutely none of us, should be judging her. She didn’t do it, and I think she cared a lot. The enormity of what he did would be unfathomable to any mother, if it was their son. I feel truly sorry for his family too. He destroyed them as well.
