Apt Alliteration's Artful Aid Game/Challenge

So..., each line of the poem you quoted starts with consecutive letters of the alphabet. Is that alliterative poetry? I'm not that into poetry, jus' sayn'...(Is that snarpy?)
After that I'm lost.
Alliterative means using the same initial consonant over and over. I never heard of it mattering what order those consonants came in unless you were playing "the Minister's Cat."
Alcala's antisocial acts appall all;
Ha! I tried to create one with Alcala & failed! That's a good one!
Nobody else is going to take a run at this? 
(On this forum, I should probably say "take a stab at this," shouldn't I?)
Beguiling Bundy brutally battered babes' brains.

With so many SKs and so many letters of the alphabet, we may have to settle for blank verse. "Dices deltoids" was awesome.
Blank verse will work fine. No need to strain for rhythm and rhyme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9gf0...

"An Austrian Army, awfully arrayed
Boldly, by battery, besieged Belgrade."
Get the idea?
I was wondering if this group could put together something similar, using criminals as the main focus of each line - an example would be "Bloody Benders buried bodies" or "Bundy's break beguiled babes", though I'm sure we could come up with better ones.
The idea would be that each line doesn't necessarily tell a story continuing from the previous one, but that it in some way explains an aspect of the crime committed by the subject. Anybody up for the challenge? Let's try to go alphabetically.
