Journal 10

Perry does not confess until Dewey tells him the story about killing a black man, something that only Dick would know, it proves that Dick has confessed. He gives a full confession. Dick had thought that Clutter had a large safe. When they didn't find it, Perry wanted to leave. But Dick wanted to look around more. They wake and tie up the entire family. The process takes hours. Perry is frantic. Dick wants to rape Nancy, but Perry threatens to kill him if he does. Finally, Perry shoots the two downstairs and then Dick shoots the two upstairs. This literally made me sick to my stomach when I read this. I was especially stunned to hear that Dick wanted to rape Nancy. I have no empathy towards these scums anymore, they can rot in jail.
