Murderer

The Resume

    (February 21, 1950-April 5, 1984)
    Born in Baton Rogue, Louisiana
    Killed David LeBlanc, and raped and murdered Loretta Ann Borque (November 4, 1977)
    Inspired the Sean Penn's character in ‘Dead Man Walking’
    Executed by electric chair (April 5, 1984)

Why he might be annoying:

    He and his brother pretended to be police officers and then handcuffed a young couple in the woods.
    He raped the girl, Loretta Ann Borque; she complied on the condition that the two be released safely.
    After he and his brother both raped her, she and her boyfriend were killed anyway.
    He shares a name with a much loathed Sesame Street character.
    His name and actions give the Weird Al song ‘Elmo’s Got A Gun’ a whole new meaning.
    Right before he was executed, he only apologized to one of the parents of his two victims.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Anti-death penalty activist Sister Helen Prejean was his spiritual advisor.
    Although reluctant to repent for his actions, he eventually said ‘I don’t want my final words to be angry ones.’
    He was buried in a plot usually reserved for nuns, at the request of Prejean.
