Joseph Duncan began his closing argument by addressing the jury directly, saying, “You people really don’t have any clue yet on the true heinousness of what I’ve done. … I’ll try to fill you in on some of the details.” When he went on the run from a pending child-molesting charge in April of 2005, Duncan said, “I was not searching for a child but rather I was on a rampage. … My intention was to kidnap and rape and kill until I was killed, preferring death … over capture.”
He said he was prepared to elude capture, and to evade everything from dogs to neighborhood watch groups to Amber alerts. “I approached all these things as obstacles,” he said. Duncan said he planned for any number of different types of crimes. “Basically I was on a rampage. … Yes, revenge was certainly putting it lightly.”
