In 1983, a one-eyed drifter named Henry Lee Lucas told a Texas judge he had killed 60 people. Police across America believed him. Then he said 600. He had already served time for stabbing his own mother to death in 1960. In the video below, from death row in 1993, he explains what happened next. He talks like a man remembering the best years of his life. "It's like being a movie star." The Texas Rangers built a task force around him. Detectives flew in from all over the country with their unsolved cases. He got cable TV, all the food he wanted, and cartons of cigarettes. "I was a king," he says. "I even beat Elvis Presley." The Rangers closed more than 200 murders on his word. Then a Waco prosecutor, Vic Feazell, checked his paychecks, traffic tickets and jail records. On the day Lucas "killed" a woman in Corpus Christi, he was selling scrap metal in Florida, 1,200 miles away. For one murder, he was sitting in jail. Feazell's office called him "Rocketman." At 2:57, a reporter asks a Ranger how that's possible. Watch how the interview ends. When Feazell showed Lucas the evidence, Lucas smiled. "I was wondering when somebody was going to get wise to this." He says detectives handed him their case files before he confessed. "They would bring it to me and tell me about it." The Rangers called that an outright lie. Feazell was then investigated by the FBI and put on trial. He was acquitted and won $58 million in a libel case. In 1998, Governor George W. Bush commuted Lucas's death sentence. It was the only one he ever commuted. Lucas died in prison in 2001. If Lucas lied, the real killers in more than 200 cases were never caught. Some people say he was a monster who killed far more than anyone can prove. Others say the real crime was the police who let him close 200 cases. Who did more damage: Henry Lee Lucas, or the people who believed him?

On September 7, 1996, Tupac hung out of a BMW window on the Las Vegas Strip, waving to fans who were screaming his name. Minutes later, a white Cadillac pulled up next to him. The man in the front seat described that night on camera 22 years later. Duane "Keffe D" Davis was a Compton gang leader. Hours earlier, Tupac and his crew had beaten up Keffe D's nephew in the lobby of the MGM Grand. "Everybody had their guns," he says. In the video below, he tells BET the whole story, in a suit and tie, like a man remembering an old road trip. He says Tupac was waving "like he was in a parade." "When we pulled up, I was in the front seat." Asked who fired, he gives one answer. "Keep it for the code of the streets. It just came from the back seat, bro." Tupac was shot four times. He died six days later, at 25. Keffe D said he was talking because he had cancer and nothing left to lose. He didn't die. In 2023, police arrested him, and the jury watched this interview. At 2:34, he speaks from jail, days before his trial. His story has changed. Now he says he wasn't even in Las Vegas that night. His own book has a photo of him at the fight. He says it's from a New Year's party. He also told the court he made up the BET story because he was paid. Asked how he wants to be remembered: "A good father." The jury took less than three hours. On October 13, he got 40 years to life. He says he will appeal. "If I don't win in this court," he says, "I'll win in the next level." Some people say his own words finally caught up with him. Others say he was convicted for a story he told for money. Did Keffe D confess, or did he sell a story he can't take back?

On March 31, 1995, Selena drove to a motel in Corpus Christi to meet the woman who ran her fan club. The woman had asked her to come alone. Minutes later, Selena ran into the lobby with a bullet in her back and told the staff, "Yolanda, room 158." Yolanda Saldívar was 34, a former nurse. Selena's family said she had stolen more than $100,000 from the singer's businesses. Five days before the meeting, she bought a .38 revolver. In the video below, months later, she tells ABC's 20/20 her side. She speaks softly, in a bright pink jacket, like a woman explaining a misunderstanding. She says Selena loved her. "She would call me mom on the phone." The reporter asks if she stole any money from Selena. "No, ma'am. Not ever." At 1:40 she is asked how she didn't see the blood all over the room. "The pictures that I see, they're dots." After the shooting, she sat in her truck with the gun to her head for nine hours. She says Selena's voice kept her alive: "Don't commit suicide, because I'll never see you in heaven." At the end, she explains what she feels now: "I'm dead inside. Selena will always be a daughter for me." Selena was 23. Her album "Dreaming of You" came out months after her death and debuted at No. 1. Today Saldívar is 66. She has been in prison for 31 years and was denied parole in March 2025. Her next review is in 2030. Some people say a woman who shot a 23-year-old in the back should never walk free. Others say she has served the 30 years the law gave her. Should Yolanda Saldívar ever be released?

On December 8, 1980, John Lennon signed an album for a fan outside his New York apartment. Then he asked him, "Is that all? Do you want anything else?" Six hours later, the same fan shot him five times in the back. Mark David Chapman was 25, a former security guard from Hawaii. That morning he bought a copy of The Catcher in the Rye and wrote inside it, "This is my statement." In the video below, 12 years later, he tells Larry King everything from Attica prison. He speaks slowly and politely, like a man describing a long day at work. He says that when Lennon looked at him that afternoon, "he knew something subconsciously that he was looking into the eyes of the person that was going to kill him." King asks if he already knew he was going to shoot him. "Absolutely." At 2:10 he describes the shots. "All in his back." His first thought was that the bullets worked. He had been worried the humidity on the plane had ruined them. Then the doorman shook the gun out of his hand. Chapman took out the book and stood on the sidewalk trying to read it until the police came. At the end, he explains what Lennon was to him that night: "a two-dimensional celebrity with no real feelings." Today he is 71. He has been in prison for more than 45 years and has been denied parole 14 times. His next hearing is in February 2027. Some people say a man who killed for fame should never walk free. Others say 45 years is enough for anyone. Should Mark David Chapman ever be released?

In 2003, the Green River Killer sat stone-faced while family after family told him they hoped he would suffer and burn in hell. Then one father stood up, and the killer finally broke. Gary Ridgway killed at least 49 women and girls around Seattle between 1982 and 1998. He spray-painted trucks at the Kenworth factory, went home to his wife, and passed a police polygraph in 1984. DNA finally caught him in 2001, as he walked out of work. To avoid the death penalty, he pleaded guilty to 48 murders and agreed to lead detectives to the bodies. He told them he had killed so many women he had a hard time keeping them straight. In the video below, he answers "guilty" again and again, then sits in a white shirt and glasses while the families speak. "In your words, you said that they didn't mean anything to you, but she meant everything to us. She was a mother, she was a wife, she was a sister, and we miss her." "He's an animal." "I wish for him to have a long, suffering, cruel death." He doesn't move. Then Robert Rule walks up. His daughter Linda was 16. "Mr. Ridgway, there are people here that hate you. I'm not one of them. You've made it difficult to live up to what I believe, and that is what God says to do, and that's to forgive. You are forgiven, sir." Watch his face at 2:10. He got 48 life sentences without parole. A 49th was added in 2011. Some people call what Robert Rule did the strongest thing ever said in a courtroom. Others say a man like Ridgway never deserved to hear it. Could you have said what Robert Rule said?

"Well, I'm not an expert. I'm not an authority. I'm someone who has been a murderer for almost 20 years." That's how Ed Kemper introduced himself in a prison interview in 1984. He says it quietly, the way another man might mention his job. At 15, he shot his grandparents. Doctors kept him in a state hospital, and at 21 they released him to his mother as no longer a danger. Between May 1972 and February 1973, college girls began disappearing while hitchhiking around Santa Cruz, California. Police warned students to only get into cars with a university sticker. Kemper's car had one. His mother worked on campus. In the video below, the 6'9" killer sits in a prison shirt and thick glasses, hands resting on the table, and calmly explains how nobody saw him. "I lived as an ordinary person most of my life," he says, "even though I was living a parallel, increasingly sick, other life." Girls in his passenger seat would talk about the killer and compare notes on what he might look like. "She judged me not to be that guy," he says. "I didn't look like it." He drank at a bar across the street from the courthouse with local police officers. "They'd buy me a beer. I'd buy them a beer." In April 1973, he killed his mother and her friend, drove to Colorado and called Santa Cruz police from a phone booth to confess. At first, they didn't believe him. A jury found him sane. He asked for the death penalty. He got life. He is still in prison in California, and his next parole hearing is in 2031. At 3:50, they ask him where he would be if he had never killed. "I believe I'd be married, I'd have children, I'd be heading toward my first grandchildren." The doctors who let him go at 21 believed the same thing. The six young women he picked up never got any of that. Some people hear real regret in this tape. Others hear a man who has learned exactly what an interviewer wants to hear. Which one do you hear?

Sega once owned a piece of Nvidia that Jensen Huang says would be worth about $1 trillion today. They sold it for about $15 million. In the video below, Jensen tells Joe Rogan how it happened. In the mid-90s, Nvidia was building the chip for Sega's next game console. A couple of years in, Jensen realized the technology didn't work. He flew to Japan to tell Sega's CEO, Shoichiro Irimajiri, in person. "Listen, I've got some bad news for you." He told him to find another partner. Then he asked for the money anyway. "If you didn't give me the money, we'd vaporize overnight." His idea: turn the last $5 million of the contract into an investment in Nvidia. He was honest. That money would most likely be lost. Irimajiri thought about it for a couple of days. Then he said yes. Why? Jensen says Irimajiri just liked him as a young man. The $5 million kept Nvidia alive for about 6 more months. That was enough to build the chip that saved the company. After Nvidia went public, Sega sold its stake. Nvidia became the most valuable company in the world. In July 2026, Jensen flew to Tokyo and thanked Irimajiri on stage. Sega tripled its money. And missed a trillion. Bad move by Sega, or the best $5 million ever spent? Save this video. One honest conversation can be worth more than any pitch.

Todd Chrisley walked out of prison with a presidential pardon and asked a reporter: "Do you know how much is in my bank account?" Now the IRS says he and his wife owe $1.57 million. In the video below, the "Chrisley Knows Best" star sits down with ABC's Nightline. The host says a lot of people think he's broke. "Where would they get that? Do you know how much is in my bank account?" He won't give a number. "But it's not what you just referenced." That's the thing with Todd. The numbers never matched. In 2012, he filed for bankruptcy with a reported $55 in the bank. Then came a TV show about a rich family. Designer clothes. Luxury cars. Prosecutors said it was built on more than $30 million in fraudulent bank loans. One statement showed $4 million. Prosecutors said that account never held more than $20,000. In 2022, Todd got 12 years for bank fraud and tax evasion. His wife Julie got 7. After about 2 years, President Trump pardoned them, saying they were treated "pretty harsh." They say they were targeted for being famous. On August 19, the IRS filed a $1,571,452 lien against them for 2021 and 2022. A pardon wipes out a conviction. Not a tax bill. The president forgave them. The IRS didn't. Were the Chrisleys punished for being famous, or are they right back where they started? Save this video. A pardon won't pay your taxes.

Elon Musk promised voters $1 million a day, picked "randomly." His own lawyer later told a judge the winners were "not chosen by chance." This month, Musk settled. In the video below, Musk announces it on stage in Pennsylvania, 2 weeks before the 2024 election. "We're going to be awarding a million dollars randomly to people who have signed the petition, every day from now until the election." The petition came from America PAC, the super PAC Musk created to back Trump. To sign it, swing state voters had to hand over their personal information. When it was challenged in court, Musk's lawyer said it wasn't a lottery. The winners were picked to be paid spokespeople. The judge let it continue. Then two Arizona voters sued Musk for fraud. They said they would never have given up their data if they'd known it wasn't random. A federal judge refused to throw out the case. Musk was ordered to testify under oath. Even his PAC's director said he was "surprised" by Musk's choice of words. On October 15, Musk settled both cases. No testimony. No trial. Musk and his PAC deny any wrongdoing. So how much did he pay? Nobody knows. The terms are secret. The $1 million checks were handed out on stage, in front of cameras. This deal was signed behind closed doors. Smart legal move, or did voters hand over their data for a lottery that never existed? Save this video before the next "random" giveaway.
