"...you murdered 11 people I feel like this guy's just not right duh so at this point Charles and Carol are now you said that she turned herself in crying saying that he killed someone so it's done you think she's playing the victim well we'll discuss you're jumping the gun a little bit they're both interested so Charles was brought up on one charge of first-degree murder for the murder of Robert Jensen the teen who tried to help him after he drove into a ditch I could not for the life of me find why they didn't try him for the other murders like they just I mean I guess the Robert Jensen one his car was at the scene so they could like to link him to it Robert Johnson's girlfriend Carol King was at the scene as well so like why couldn't they at least I mean so it really doesn't matter but it just I don't know it bugs me that I not find that anywhere so Charles this is another Karma situation I love it Charles willingly chooses to be extradited from Wyoming to Nebraska so that means that he was going to he was picked up in Wyoming so he's going to get tried to Wyoming but he was like no I can be tried in Nebraska strictly because the governor of Nebraska at the time was vocally against however funny thing is that Governor made an exception for Charles yes so Charles during the trial kind of kept changing his story so he initially said that Carol wasn't even present for the murder of Robert Jensen then once he found out that she was kind of like placing all the blame on him he claimed that she was a willing participant his lawyers were even wishy-washy and bounce back and forth between him committing the murder due to insanity and him being completely innocent and like pick one right like you can't just play Both Sides right field you gotta pick one and commit to it the jury though wasn't having any of it and Charles Starkweather was convicted of murder and sentenced to death oh Carol Fugate maintained her innocence through her whole trial even to this day she still does she claim she was a hostage and he just threatened to kill her entire family if she didn't follow him supposedly unaware that he had already killed her family the judge declares that she had multiple opportunities to run away and so then on November 21st 1958 Carol Fugate was given a life sentence and became the youngest person in American history to be tried for and convicted of first-degree murder..."
