Henry Lee Lucas had confessed to somewhere around 600 murders and recanted all but the murder of his mother. He was convicted of 11 counts of murder, but only received the death sentence for the Orange Socks murder which, as was previously stated, was commuted when it was proven he couldn't possibly have commited that particular murder.
Ottis Toole was sentenced to 20 years for arson and while in prison confessed to murder and then recanted his confession.
