You would think someone that got away with three blatant murders for forty years would be a genius. Some of the people in the show even say heâs smart: Andrew Jarecki calls Bob âenormously smartâ and Dick DeGuerrin calls Bob âintelligentâ.
In my opinion, Bob is not smart at all and has never showed intelligence. Some may even say that his dumb actions could have been on purpose/for attention, but I do not agree at all.
Many (certainly not all) instances of Bob being really stupid:
1. When he didnât realize his mic was still on in his first Jinx interview.
2. When he didnât realize his mic was still on in his SECOND interview. The interview that led to his demise of course.
3. When he, worth 9 figures, was caught stealing a sandwich while on the run.
4. Misspelling Beverly twice being the best piece of evidence has got to be the funniest goof. Also using the word âcadaverâ when his wife was a med student.
5. When he told the prosecution and jury that he has lied and would lie about killing people if asked about it during the trial.
6. Killing a random guy who figured out who Bob really was, while Bob was not in any sort of formal trouble at all.
7, Banking on a dismembered guyâs body parts to sink in trash bags. And generally leaving behind trails of evidence for his crimes.
8. Agreeing to do any interview at all in the first place.
9. Never showing any sort of business/real estate talent throughout the whole show.
And so on.
Bob got away with all his abuse, then murdering, then constantly lying about it because he is mega rich and surrounded himself with weak-minded, money-hungry individuals. He would pay all of his friends, cronies, wives, etc., had a ton of money for top lawyers, and obvious political influence. Without the money, Bob is just a dumb, pathologically lying psychopath who wouldnât have gotten away with anything.
