Terrific documentary-short by Michelle Palmer, that tells the horrific story of 1950’s American serial killer, Ed Gein – the man whose bizarre life and sadistic crimes would shock the nation and inspire the film characters Norman Bates in “Psycho” and Buffalo Bill in “Silence of the Lambs“…

On November 21, 1957, Gein was arraigned on one count of first degree murder in Waushara County Court, where he entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. Found mentally incompetent and thus unfit to stand trial, Gein was sent to the Central State Hospital for the Criminally Insane (now the Dodge Correctional Institution), a maximum-security facility in Waupun, Wisconsin, and later transferred to the Mendota State Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1968, Gein’s doctors determined he was sane enough to stand trial. The trial began on November 14, 1968, lasting one week. He was found guilty of first-degree murder by Judge Robert H. Gollmar, but because he was found to be legally insane, he spent the rest of his life in a mental hospital…. Murderpedia
