Chucky Cullen Serial Killer’s Ugly Mug Brought Back Up.

So, you’re familiar with Charles Cullen, AKA The Angel of Death? Probably the only other serial killer who operated in this area besides Harvey Robinson.

Ok, so Cullen killed tons of people (nearly 30 or so) by injecting them with shit when he worked as a nurse. For more reading on Cullen, hit up here.

I don’t know why I’ve always been fascinated with serial killers. I mean, I don’t think it makes me a weird dude, I just find the whole … business of being a serial killer totally just… alien and weird. I mean, these people are living normal lives, getting up, going to work, killing some people, heading home and cooking dinner and going to bed.

There are some people who may have witnessed someone get hit by a car when they were like 4 and they still can’t sleep at night due to bad dreams by the time they reach adulthood, and there are those who can dismember people and go to work the next day as if nothing happened.

Just truly amazing in my book…

Anyway, even though Cullen is serving life in New Jersey for his crimes, Allentown is going to try and give him more time. Now, I understand that he should be held responsible and all that, but he’s already in for life, is this just a waste of taxpayer’s money? This is a civil trial, so maybe I don’t understand the law that great… blah blah blah blah blah

The Lehigh County trial of Charles Cullen will start Tuesday morning in Allentown after the jury was selected today.

Six men, six women and two alternates were selected before lunch. Court adjourned for the day and testimony will begin at 9:30 a.m.

Witnesses are expected to include David Fowler, a forensic pathologist and victims’ family members.

Cullen was not in the courtroom, nor is he expected to attend the trial; Judge Edward Reibman said Cullen opted not to participate in the civil trial brought against him by eight families.

Cullen, a former nurse who spent 16 years working at hospitals in the Lehigh Valley and northern New Jersey, confessed to killing 29 patients and trying to kill six more. He is serving life sentences in New Jersey for those crimes.

Cullen gave critically ill hospital patients lethal doses of medicinal cocktails.

Two potential jurors said they had direct connections to Cullen. A man said he worked at St. Luke’s and Easton hospitals and knew Cullen. A woman, a nurse, said she worked at one of the same facilities as Cullen.

The potential jurors were asked if they read or saw media coverage of Cullen’s cases and if they knew people involved in the case.

The group of 48 people was also asked if they agreed with artificial caps on civil case damages. The jury will determine what amount, if any, Cullen owes to the families suing him.

The suits heading to trial were filed by: Robert Bohning, Clarence Fish, Joseph Gostony, Jacqueline Mock, Victor Muschlitz, Steven Shachter, Sharon DeAngelis and Joaquim Vicoso. 

Most of the plaintiffs are family members of patients who died at St. Luke’s Hospital; most also have ties to the Lehigh Valley

I guess you kinda have to put yourself in the shoes of the families, however. I mean, fuck this guy, I’d want his family to have to pay me a ton of money, too. SO fucked up. I tell ya, you can’t trust anyone. One time I had to get a cardiogram at my doctor’s office and the nurse was like “take off your top” and I was like, “you first.”
