Jeffrey Dahmer, Evan Peters Jacobson concluded his letter to TheWrap: “All my efforts on behalf of the Dahmer victim families were consistent with my belief that Network TV series, books, movies, trading cards, comic books, action figures, any and all Dahmer victim exploitation commercially, all profits need to be shared with the victims and their families. I join Rita Isbell in her criticism of the Netflix Dahmer victim exploitation and call upon Netflix from their extremely commercially successful endeavour, to share a portion of the profits with the Dahmer victim families.
