Ted Bundy took advantage of an obscure Florida law to marry his girlfriend Carole Boone during his trial

Ted Bundy asked Carole Boone to marry him when she was called to the stand as a character witness. She accepted, and Bundy declared to the court that they were married.

In 1978, serial killer Ted Bundy was finally caught by the authorities when he was pulled over for driving a stolen vehicle in Florida. The contents of his vehicle were a bit suspicious and that's what gave him away. He was first arrested and jailed in 1975 but he had managed to escape. The media circus that followed his final arrest and subsequent trials caused a frenzy in the country. It was during this time that Bundy caught the attention of a woman who stood by him through the trials and till the day he was executed. That person was Carole Ann Boone.

Carole was fascinated with Bundy and began attending all the hearings. She soon became his number one supporter. She was his personal advocate and believed completely that her "Bunny", as she called him, was devoid of any wrongdoing.
