Bundy sentenced to death in Chi Omega killings
Theodore Bundy was condemned by Judge Edward D. Cowart as a total waste of humanity and ordered to die in Florida's electric chair for beating and strangling two sleeping women at the Chi Omega house. He showed emotion only in a monologue vowing to continue appeals, with multiple trials and automatic reviews likely delaying any execution for years. Bundy faces additional charges in Florida and elsewhere, including a 1978 Kim Leach case and a 1974 Utah kidnapping.
