Compiled from police records, reports, and court transcripts, ths book tells the complete and complex story of how the identities of the Hillside Strangler Murderers were revealed. This book also describes how justice was almost defeated, and why the trial was the longest murder trial in history at the time (November 1981-November 1983). This book was written by Roger Boren, who was a California deputy attorney general, and the chief prosecutor of People v. Angelo Buono Jr. in a trial that took over 2 years. Kenneth Bianchi, who was purported to have multiple personalities was the key witness, but Bianchi's craziness almost torpedoed the prosecution. After the Buono trial, Roger Boren became a California judge, who presided over several notorious trials, including the Twilight Zone Movie Manslaughter trial. He was elevated to the California Court of Appeal, where he was a presiding justice for three decades, and is now retired.
