WI v. DAHMER (1992): Tracy Edwards, who escaped from Jeffrey Dahmer, takes the stand.
A new Netflix documentary "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" explores the gruesome story of Jeffrey Dahmer. Court TV cameras were inside the Wisconsin courtroom in 1992, where a jury was tasked to decide whether Dahmer, who pleaded guilty to the murders and dismemberment of 15 boys and men, should be sentenced to life in prison or admitted to a mental institution.

I know. I noticed when the lawyer said "so you got to the apartment " he physically almost gasped at the memory. Not that this was his worst memory but its unlocked the worst ones. I was a victim of child r@pe for many years and I remember this gasping feeling at some memories. Your breath literally leaves you. It's a very physical sensation... it's like when you drop from a roller-coaster. Your stomach literally flips and takes the breath out of you .

No one could tell for sure what really happened. And that kind of life he was leading later on in life was all just a consequence of severe trauma from that night... I'm not defending him, just saying, there is a lot to look into. I don't think he is a murderer type.

Imagine escaping from someone who attempted to murder you, then later finding out that said individual had killed, dismembered, and even ate many men, then having to be in his presence again knowing what he planned to do to you. This man is brave beyond words, and a true hero. Whether he planned to be a hero or not, the amount of life’s he saved is staggering. It’s sad to see the path he’s went down later in life, I can only hope he’s doing well now.

@AndtherewasJoy13 What I do know is; after appearing in court he became an alcoholic and drug addict, he was later convicted of sexual assault and after his release from prison he became homeless, in 2011 he thrown a man to his death off a Milwaukee bridge and spent a year-and-a-half in prison, and he currently remains homeless in Milwaukee still suffering with alcoholism and drug addiction. His attorney said that he was never able to piece his life back together after Dahmer. It’s sad, but unfortunately Dahmer did succeed at taking his life, even if he didn’t realise that at the time.

I truly believe that this is one of the most important testimonies ever given. It’s one thing to go through all of that but then after you get recused and your assaulter gets charged you begin to process it. Sleepless nights, you close your eyes, Dahmer is there. Tracy Edwards is Dahmer’s only survivor. The sole survivor. He’s the only one alive who knows exactly what Dahmer turned into when he was killing all these boys and men. So there’s a victory in surviving but you can’t escape it. Tracy can’t ever leave Jeffrey’s apartment and that’s the cruelest part of it

Not to throw him under the bus but he was street trade. I think most of Dahmer's victims were trade or street trade, which is how he lured them there. Although it was stated that Dahmer lured them there to take pictures both parties knew what that was code for which is to have sex in a trade off for money, food , place to live. The reason I know the witness to be street trade is because i am 100 percent gay and had sex with him on several occasions. I am sure others had figured that out already too. However, he was even more attractive than what you see in the video but currently he looks nothing like that. Life has taken a huge toll on him. What helped him survive was probably his street smarts because unbeknowgst to Dahmer he did not drink any of the spiked drink and he may have planned on robbing Dahmer himself. That last sentence is just an assumption.

I am a 55 year old Gay man from Chicago. When I was age 24 I went to Mil Wis to stay with a friend for a while. I fell in love with the city n asked to stay. I got a job at a burger joint n stayed but the guy I was with moved out when I was working. I came home n the place was empty. I went to a rich friend of the guys n he took me in for a while. I ended up going to the gay bars in hopes of finding a boyfriend and found out about Dahmer n that he had just been caught but I was in the same bars he found his victims in before he got caught n am so lucky I never went home with him. I met a great guy shortly after n were about to celebrate 29 years together.

I met the serial killer Dennis Nilsen when he lived in Willesden Green, London.....he seemed like a weird person... I then found a pair fresh of lungs windpipe and trachia in a plastic bag on the pavement at night a short walk from his house, plus bags of decomposed organs....I was a student at University College London with experience in pathology.... I reported the matter to the Metropolitan Police London and said the remains "must be examined by an expert" (a forensic pathologist). Two policemen arrived at night, I said I knew what I was talking about, and my mother also confirmed this to the police. The two policemen took my name and address, said we should leave...so we left them with the bags. It later turned out....after a Scotland Yard inquiry (UK Police HQ) ....that the two policemen took the bags and dumped them without asking for any analysis. A major case of criminal negligence by police officers.

Also his stillness and lacking of hatred in court truly impressed me, despite the trauma we all can see in his face that made me tear up.
