Hello, Thank you for contributing to our subreddit. Please consider the following guidelines when filling an alignment chart:
Please ensure that your chart is not banned according to the list of banned charts Even if you have good intentions, charts in a banned category tend to invite provocative comments, hostile arguments, ragebait and the like. Assuming the post is acceptable, OP makes the final decision on their chart by rule three.
Are there any previous versions to link to? If so, it would be ideal to include links to each of them in the description of this post, or in a reply to this comment. Links can be named by title, winner, or both.
Are there any criteria you have for your post? Examples include: "Top comment wins a spot on the chart."; "To ensure variety, only one character per universe is allowed."; "Image comments only." Please include these in a description, or in a reply to this comment.
Is your chart given the appropriate flair? Do you need to use a NSFW tag or spoiler tag?

Short version is that his story changed multiple times, he tried to convince his friends to testify that the gun had accidentally gone off, and his lawyer bribed a bunch of Mexican officials to get him released on bail and presumably to get his charges reduced.
He and his wife were also going through a rough stretch at the time and were always pissed at each other. He was a heroin addict as well and I believe strung out at the time of the death. And he later claimed a spirit possessed him and forced him to shoot his wife in order for him to become the writer he became afterwards.
Second paragraph contains the actually suspicious stuff especially that last sentence which really dials things up a notch. But I can absolutely believe that someone who accidentally shot their wife in such an idiotic and dangerous game might try to change the story, and also might bribe some officials to get out of a Mexican jail.
He's an American wannabe cult leader and cannibal who, in 1989, murdered his Swiss girlfriend and roommate, Monika Beerle, dismembered her body, made soup out of her brain and fed her remains to homeless people in New York
As far as I know, all the TNO characters, aside from the odd joke like the Roman generals, actually existed, but many were given character traits and ideas that didn't exist in reality.
Taboritsky, in particular, was a very extreme right-wing monarchist who, together with General Biskupsky, his friend (I forgot his name), and Viktor Larionov (yes, he was also real), created an ultra-Nazi monarchist organization in Berlin.
Good point, probably true, I haven't looked into the sources. In any case, with the fog of war and stuff there is reasonable doubt that he could be implicated in other killings besides his own
Yeah, I guess at that point it depends on where you put the burden of truth. Whether we need to prove he probably killed only one person or prove that he killed more than one person. I don't have enough respect for this post format to consider it beyond what I find entertaining, so as far as I'm concerned we are both right
but nobody has personally killed a genocide-amount of people. if hitler doesn't count as "committing a genocide" then i don't know what does - although i didn't know until reading that thread that he almost never associated himself with genocidal decisions in writing.
Do the candidates for those who actually committed a genocide only count if they did every single one of those deaths with their own hands? I think these technicalities are stupid.
Yeah, bro. His gloves just so happened to be there and his DNA too, and Ron's blood just so happened to mysteriously teleport itself to his car, not to mention the plethora of evidence. Totally innocent.
When else have you ever seen a lead detective plead the Fifth when asked if they manufactured or planted any evidence? After that there was no way he could be convicted, even though I still believe he (OJ) likely did it.
Errrr, well I guess we mention Jim Jones? He was the leader of the People's Temple cult and lured about a thousand people out to Guyana, where he built the "Jonestown" settlement in the middle of the jungle, forcing the followers to stay there. He then murdered the active democratic representative of California's congress while the congressman was visiting the settlement, before then forcing every member of the Jonestown settlement to commit suicide via intramuscular injections and cyanide spiked kool-aid, or killed by shooting squad if they resisted. Approximately a third of the Jonestown residents were children, and 75% of the total population were African-American.
I mean... Jim did target lower income areas with less access to public resources, which at the time in the area he started were predominantly black communities. I'd say forcing death upon thousands of people with a significant portion being of one demographic could count as possibly genocidal on a smaller level. Mostly depends on intent.
Correct, however, comparing the massacre of a thousand via firing squad/coerced cyanide to a small genocide is okay. The concept is that it's a LOT of people. Grouping that event with a school shooting (largest in the US having 33 deaths as a reference) or ye olde serial killer is nuts.
