When asked to comment on the physical appearance of violent criminals, he frankly states that attractive people don’t commit murder, ugly people do. To use his logic, Ted Bundy, Robert Chambers, etc. are innocent. Hey, why bother with all that pesky DNA evidence when you can judge a defendant’s guilt/innocence just by their appearance? That serial killer doesn’t need any prison time, just plastic surgery !

My suggestion, if you are still curious about his book, wait till you can peruse it for free at your public library, and for any serious criminology students, don’t waist your time.

“Yeah, occasionally.”

Love that back and forth.

He’s probably never been interviewed by someone that awesome before. You gotta be really quick to keep up with Colbert, cause he knows his shit. Doesn’t matter the topic.
