There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle,” (John 19:17-18). Jesus Christ’s valiant life was terminated with a horrendous execution. Tom Robinson’s did as well. He lived his life in the name in the name of others, helping everyone that he could, going out of his way to save people, even Judas, who would betray him. Tom did this aswell, constantly assisting Mayella, she who would betray him in court. Jesus had followers who believed in his message, just as Tom had believers in his innocence. Jesus and his followers would face persecution, just as Tom and hisi believers would. The judgements and death sentences of Jesus and Tom would make them become martyrs.

There were a total of six victims whom fell at hands of Richard Trenton Chase, a.k.a "The Vampire of Sacramento". Strangely enough, that murder count does not appear as heinous or unusual when comparing to the killing sprees of other high profile serial killers. However, if we take a look deeper into the man that was known as "The Vampire of Sacramento" and more importantly how he carried out his murders; we will realize that he is one of the most gruesome serial killers in history. Furthermore, Richard Trenton Chase suffered from mental illnesses through his life and in turn, this led to that killing spree that left six dead.
