Summary

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we wrap up our series on the Hillside Stranglers! We'll cover Kenneth Bianchi’s arrest in Washington, his plea deal and “multiple personalities” claim, and the experts who poked holes in it. Then we follow how his shifting stories put Angelo Buono in a forever long courtroom fight, an attempt to drop the case, a judge who kept it going, and the strategy shifts that finally pushed it to verdict. We lay out what the court heard, how the verdicts and sentences landed, and the appeals. https://www.necronomipod.com https://www.patreon.com/necronomipod Sponsored by Betterhelp: https://www.betterhelp.com/necro Learn more about your ad choices.
