British documentarian Nick Broomfield created two works - Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer (1993) and Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003), with the latter co-directed by Joan Churchill.Īctress Charlize Theron, often known for a glamorous screen persona, underwent a major physical and emotional transformation to portray Wuornos in 2003’s Monster, written and directed by Patty Jenkins and co-starring Christina Ricci as Selby Wall, a character inspired by Tyria Moore. Wuornos’ story has been closely profiled in film. Wuronos' remains were cremated and scattered by a tree in her hometown. In 2002, Florida governor Jeb Bush lifted a temporary stay of execution after three psychiatrists deemed her mentally competent to understand the death penalty and the reasons for its implementation. But a court-appointed attorney was concerned about comments made by Wuornos that suggested she was profoundly disconnected from reality. Spending a decade on death row, Wuornos eventually opted to fire her appeals lawyers, who were working for a stay of execution.

Outside of court, she later admitted to the killing of Siems, whose body was never recovered. Over the ensuing months, Wuornos pleaded guilty to the murders of the five other men whose murders she was charged with and received a death sentence for each plea. On January 27, 1992, a jury found Wuornos guilty of first-degree murder for the Mallory case and she received the death penalty. She stated that her killing of the five other men had been in self-defense as well, though she would later retract these statements. Though not revealed in court, Mallory had previously served a decade-long prison sentence for sexual assault. During the trial, Wuornos asserted that she had been raped and assaulted by Mallory and had killed him in self-defense.
