25 juill. 1991 - Jeffrey Dahmer indictment

Description:

On July 25, 1991, Dahmer was charged with four counts of first-degree murder. By August 22, he had been charged with a further 11 murders committed in the state of Wisconsin.[176] On September 14, investigators in Ohio, having uncovered hundreds of bone fragments in woodland behind the address in which Dahmer had confessed to killing his first victim, formally identified two molars and a vertebra with X-ray records of Steven Mark Hicks.[184] Three days later, Dahmer was charged by authorities in Ohio with the murder of Steven Hicks.[185]

Dahmer was not charged with the attempted murder of Tracy Edwards,[176] nor with the murder of Steven Tuomi. He was not charged with Tuomi's murder because the Milwaukee County District Attorney only brought charges where murder could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt[186] and Dahmer had no memory of actually committing this particular murder, for which no physical evidence of the crime existed.[186] At a scheduled preliminary hearing on January 13, 1992,[187] Dahmer pleaded guilty but insane to 15 counts of murder.[188]
