The First Female Serial Killer: Why Aileen Wuornos's Case Still Matters
When Aileen Wuornos was executed in 2002, the state of Florida called her a cold-blooded serial killer. But her story is way more complicated than that. We're talking about a woman who survived childhood sexual abuse, was kicked out at 15 and forced into sex work to survive, and ended up killing seven men along Florida's highways. She said it was self-defense. The prosecution said she was lying. But here's what they didn't tell the jury: her first victim was a convicted rapist. That evidence? Kept from her defense team. This case forces us to ask some really uncomfortable questions about justice, trauma, and what happens when someone who's been victimized their entire life becomes the perpetrator. Today, we're breaking down the life and crimes of Aileen Wuornos, and trust me, nothing about this story is black and white.
