Aileen Wuornos as an Adult
After committing a string of smaller crimes, Wuornos murdered seven men in Florida between 1989 and 1990. Wuornos claimed that all of the murders were done in self defense after the men had attempted to rape her while she was working as a prostitute. In 2002, Wuornos became the tenth woman to receive the death penalty in the United States since the 1976 reinstatement of capital punishment.
