A well put together article. Straight to the point without dilluting the information with unnecessary rambling.

Seeing as Wisconsin did not have a death penalty even back in 1957 (Wisconsin having only executed one person -- John McCaffary -- back in 1851 before formally abolishing the death penalty in 1853), Gein would never have received a death sentence even if he had been found legally sane.

Great article, really helpful. But in the section called "Favourite food" there's a word mistake: "running eater" instead of "running water". By the way, great article. I wanted you to write about Ted Bundy the same way you wrote about Ed. Thanks.
