Review – Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop

Without a doubt, this is a weird one. NY Police Officer Gilberto Valle spent a lot of time online sharing his fantasies about killing and eating women. When he was arrested and tried for conspiracy to commit the crimes he described, his defense was that his chats were nothing more than fantasies about things he never planned to do in real life. Thanks in part to his frequent mentions of actual women in his life – particularly his wife – he was convicted, though his conviction was later overturned. Without watching the whole movie, you can probably draw your own conclusions from the summary. Mildly amusing
