“ | I won't ask for mercy. In fact... I find it absurd to ask for mercy for something that I did not do. I'm not the one responsible for these horrific acts. Although the verdict found in part that these crimes had been committed, it erred in finding who committed them. As a consequence, I do not accept the sentence because it is not a sentence of me. It is a sentence of someone else who is not standing here today. | „ |

What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He has brutally murdered and raped over 30 women, including prepubescent girls.
- He had no care for the emotional damage that Liz is going through because of him.
- He doesn't even seem to sincerely love her either, but is instead obsessed with her since he is unfaithful to her and often manipulates her to his side to avoid being confronted by her for his actions. This is evidenced but how quickly he was willing to replace her with Carol once Liz officially left him.
- He'd also stared at Liz's backside in her sleep without her knowing, which indicates his attraction to her was more perverted than anything else.
- When a cop pulled him over to arrest him upon one of his escapes from prison, Ted punched him in the stomach in a last ditch effort to get away.
- While he was shocked and upset that the sheriff of Florida damaged a gift from Liz's daughter Molly, he seemed more upset about how he no longer has something to keep for his sick obsession with Liz, and not because he cared for Molly.
- Although he's ashamed of his mother having to hear what he's accused of, he doesn't seem to care about her and is instead embarrassed.
- When confessing what he had done, he shows no remorse for his crimes.
- When put on death row and being visited by Liz, he's not sincerely crying at the accusations she's making towards him but instead, he seems more upset that he's losing her loyalty.
- Despite setting her free, it wasn't out of care for her, as he had nothing to lose anymore since he couldn't escape his execution.
- He has a sick obsession with his victims even in death, as he requested before his execution that his ashes be scattered where his victims' bodies were found.
