* HadToComeToPrisonToBeACrook: Bobby Earl Ferguson, when his reasons for his entire conspiracy plot are brought to light: he was an intelligent and charming young student at Cornell with a bright future, who was accused of kidnapping and rape. While he eventually was proven innocent in this case and all charges were dropped, prior to this, the case's young prosecutor, Armstrong's wife Laurie, had him remanded without bail in order to make a name for herself, even though he had no prior record. While in jail, the other inmates, not knowing all the facts in the case, assaulted Bobby, beating him to an inch of his life, and castrating him. In addition, despite being cleared, the arrest and accusations caused Cornell to revoke Bobby's scholarship and expel him. [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil Traumatized, mutilated, and with all his hopes of having a family, or at least a decent future now destroyed, Bobby developed a deep grudge against Laurie and plotted a dark vengeance against her]]: first, by committing a crime so heinous that the state would have no choice but to give him the death penalty (by actually raping and ''murdering'' a child), then manipulating the investigating officers into beating a confession out of him, then teaming up with an equally condemned serial killer into getting his conviction overturned, and then exacting revenge on Laurie by killing her and her daughter, before disappearing forever.

* MiscarriageOfJustice: Bobby Earl Ferguson was accused of rape, and only got out after he had been driven mad from the torture, scandal, and castration his fellow inmates inflicted upon him. He decided to rape and murder a random girl in a crazy plot to get himself arrested and later exonerated so when he got out and then immediately murdered the prosecutor who pushed the first case, everyone involved would be guilty of letting a real criminal go free to commit more murders. He manages to utterly succeed at the first and second parts.
