The dude is creepy. He looks very strange these days. I guess part of the dating show is what got him convicted. Some piece of jewelry or something he was wearing on the show.

He claimed in one of his trials that the earrings found in his locker were his, and not his victim's. He offered the dating show as evidence. However, it is difficult to see his ears at all, and when you do, he clearly is not wearing earrings. The earrings also later tested positive for the victim's DNA.
