Best of Season 1: "BEHIND THE CLOWN PAINT: GACY'S TRIAL, EXECUTION & LEGACY - PART 2"

Reid Carter concludes the two-part John Wayne Gacy special timed with Peacock's "Devil in Disguise." After confessing to 33 murders, Gacy pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming multiple personalities made him kill. The jury didn't buy it - guilty on all counts. February 1980: sentenced to death. Fourteen years on death row painting clowns, giving interviews, showing zero remorse. May 10, 1994: executed by lethal injection. Final words: "Kiss my ass." Gacy's legacy: He created the "killer clown" trope that defines American horror. Stephen King's Pennywise exists because of Pogo.
