February 2020 Closes with a Few DeAngelo Surprises
Many of us have waited so long for this show to get started. Thanks to DNA, I never worried we’d get the wrong guy – he left his mark everywhere. But even the biggest cynic in the room – yeah, me – never thought things would take this long just to generate momentum. The first […]
What Is DeAngelo’s Defense Thinking? What Will Be Their Strategy?
I feel remarkably better today – the boost of adrenaline I had from yesterday’s hearing (while I sat in my darn recliner) kind of flushed my system. Remember that for the next time you’re sick – just get really worked up about something! I also promised a part two today about the Intersection of Justice […]
Happy Hanukkah: The Hearing Coming Up this Week
Katie and I are kind of goofy about Hanukkah. We have a song by Barenaked Ladies that we play when we light the candles. We’re heading to Sacramento this week and we’ll bring the menorah with us. We’ve taken that thing with us a lot of places but maybe my favorite was Thanksgiving night at […]
Top Five Reasons Having the DeAngelo Trial in Sacramento is Pure Gold
When the FBI released the news about the Golden State Killer, the Orlando shooting massacre happened and took over the news. Today, when the DeAngelo press conference went live, Cohen was heading to court and the Manafort verdict was coming in. Our poor law enforcement folks can’t get a break! But it’s all good. On […]
The Day of the Arrest: How I Learned DeAngelo Had Been Caught
The week before DeAngelo’s arrest, I had worked a trade show called RSAC. It’s the biggest cybersecurity show in the US. It happens in San Francisco and I did it while on a crutch (busted up leg) and launching a huge PR campaign. The cover image is from one of our event buttons – it just […]
News of the Day: DNA, Evidence, and Victim’s Assistance
My new friends in the media warned me about this. They said to be ready for the ups and downs. There would be quiet periods and then the noise would start again as decisions are made and new evidence presented. I’m glad they prepared me. I woke up this morning pretty hot because I’m really […]
For 30 Years He Lived Among Us
In Silicon Valley it’s not cool to be old. It should be, but it isn’t. What’s old? 40. 50. For sure 56 is and that’s how old I am. Who knew it would be the arrest of DeAngelo that would out me to my co-workers! I have an 18 year old still living at home […]
Venue Decision for Golden State Killer: Where Will We Hold the Trial
The press release below went out on May 11 regarding the on-going discussions among the district attorneys and the right venue for trying the Golden State Killer (I still can’t bear to use his name). The pros and cons of different locations. Since my dad was a lawyer, we have old friends who have shared […]
The Golden State Killer Has Been Caught
The Golden State Killer has been caught. I know we still have miles to go before there’s a conviction, but based on DNA, we got him. In March 1980, my father and stepmother were murdered in Ventura, California. For twenty years, we thought this was a horrendous murder in a small town. And then the […]
