Henry Lee Lucas

Henry Lee Lucas (23 August 1936 – 12 March 2001), was an American serial killer. He was convicted of murdering 157 people and condemned to death for a single case with an unidentified victim. A newspaper disclosed the improbable logistics of the confessions made by Lucas, when they were taken as a whole, and a study by Attorney General of Texas concluded he had falsely confessed. Lucas death sentence was commuted to life inprisonment in 1998.
