I thought you meant the Night Stalker… What ever happened to that guy, anyway?

The Night Stalker was Richard Ramirez. The DAs office assigned its best trial lawyer, Phil Halpin, to prosecute Ramirez, and the jury convicted him. When Phil was assigned to Central Trials in Los Angeles, I was there and we became acquainted, and later became friends when we were both assigned to the Pasadena courthouse. When he was transferred out, we invited him to our home and Carla prepared lunch for a few of us from the office. Phil retired about a year before I did, just before he died of cancer.

Oh yeah, Richard. Oh well. That is really sad about Phil Halpin, he died right after he retired.
