It's important to understand how killers like Bundy operate. All of their lives they have 'dual' lives in a way. The one that nobody sees until its too late, and the one they show to the world. The one that enables them to walk among the masses, their true self hidden. They need this cover. Without it they would not be able to do what they do, which is kill. Nobody in their right mind would have gone with Bundy if he showed his true face, hence the mask.
By the time of Bundy's trial for the Leach murder he already was facing 2 death sentenses. The pressure was on, his secrects were being revealed, and he was begining to unravel mentally. This is very common with serial killers. If you study his crimes, you can tell he was falling apart quickly during the Florida murders. He knew it was just a matter of time.
At that last trial, that was the Bundy that really was, no mask, no charm, his handsome face contorted in rage. That is the face that all his victims saw as they were dying. Think about that.

Was Ted Bundy a lawyer?
As a law school drop-out Bundy refused the first rule of the Bar. Never represent yourself. Bundy had such a huge opinion of himself that he felt nobody could represent him like hecould. He was wrong. Although the court appointed attorneys to help Bundy with his defence, Bundy did the bulk of lawyering himself. And look at the result.Bundy's only known victim to escape appeared as a witness for the prosecution. Carol LaRoche was cross-examined by Bundy himself, as is routine in a trial. She had to look into the face of the man that had tried to murder her and answer his questions. Experts felt this was just another way for Bundy to victimize LaRoche and they were right. But she remained poised and held it together and her testimony was very damaging to Bundy's case. He should have let one of his assistant attorneys question LaRoche but this was Bundy's show and he called the shots.
