On February 8th Gary Ridgway the “Green River Killer” was in court for his 49th charge of killing another innocent women, Becky Marrero was only 20 years old and a mother at the time. In King County, Washington. The police had filed an aggravated murder charge against Ridgway. Ridgway was not sentence the death penalty because he decided to make a deal with the court. The only thing Ridgway had to do was plead guilty for the 48 murders he had committed and for any future cases that have been found. Ridgway was already serving 48 life sentences for the 48 murders he had committed, now he has another charge, with the murder of Becky Marrero, he had pleaded guilty.  

"Ridgway confessed to killing Becky Marrero, but he was unable to provide sufficient details to warrant a charge," Satterberg said. "The discovery of Ms. Marrero's remains now gives us the evidence we need to file this charge." stated by (the CNN Wire Staff)

The court knew that Ridgway would plea guilty if it meant he did not have the death penalty. However if Ridgway had another murder charge that was outside of King County he may face the death penalty, until then Ridgway is not locked up in Washington’s state Penitentiary in walla walla.

Now thinking about the Gary Ridgway and Dexter Morgan had made me compare the fact of how completely different they are. Besides their looks, intelligence, way of murdering, and getting a way with it. I thought about how Dexter “ONLY” kills bad people who would harm an innocent or someone who is so evil they need to be stopped. And thinking about this, in a way I wish Dexter was a real person. Or maybe he is real and society doesn’t know about it, but just to think that if he really was around and had seen Ridgway and known that he was a cold blooded killer, I would want him to do something about it. He could have saved a lot more lives that way. I’m not saying that it is right to murder someone for murdering other people but to keep society safer, from harm is a very courageous and un-selfish thing to do. Would you murder someone to protect your love ones or like Dexter trying to save the innocent?
