“I should actually thank the government for helping me get my eye for an eye, by showing you the evidence that you have seen, by showing you the videos,” Joseph Duncan told the jury, “… helping me to take away your heart and your innocence. … The evidence they presented, that’s what it has done, that’s what it has done, that’s what they have accomplished, and I should thank them, but I won’t,” he said. “Despite the heinousness of all my crimes, and the sickness, the insanity, the evidence shows clearly that completely contrary to all my life experience, something happened, and that’s the reason I’m here. Not because I was caught, not because the system worked, but because an 8-year-old little girl refused to judge me, and allowed me to see the truth.”
