Who is Crazy Eight?

Leslie Anne Shappe is the killer known as Crazy Eight who was known for dispatching shady, underworld types with her favorite weapon, a sword. This made her popular in the media and the boys in blue were in no hurry to catch up with her until she killed a popular Senator Ray Hartwell. She was apprehended by Wonder Man and the police after she decapitated Ray Hartwell. A hearing was to take place on whether she would receive the death penalty or not and Doc Samson was assigned to provide a psychological evaluation on her. Doc Samson visited Leslie in prison and she told him she was taking out the "trash" and disposing it herself. She carved the infinity sign on the chest of her first victim and a cop thought it looked like a crazy eight symbol- hence the name Crazy Eight. Doc Samson asked Leslie why she killed Senator Hartwell and she responded "Didn't like his politics". The court proceeding took place sometime later and Doc Samson told the judge that Leslie Shappe had her own set of values but was aware of what she was doing and the rightness and wrongness of her actions.
