James Edward Wood was one of the most unassuming men that you could ever meet. He was the type of person that if you passed by him on the street, you would never know his true agenda was much darker than what appeared. The life of James Wood is largely considered to be that of a true psychopath with no conscience. While the overall depths of his crimes is largely speculation, what is known of his crimes was enough to have him sentenced to death in 1994. While it is purely impossible to grasp the gravity of the senseless crimes that James Wood committed, it is possible to sort through his life to get a sense of just how deluded his mind proved to be.
