    @PrinceHabib72 holy shit this guy was a badass, the fact that he literally won a court case saying that “f i had wanted to kill you, you would not be here.” Is such a badass move, what did the Judge think of it? What did the Lawyers think of it?

      Well, he was acquitted after five hours of deliberation, so it must have been pretty convincing. As for how they responded to that specific quote, I’m not sure, as that- while a true quote- didn’t occur in the courtroom. I looked into it further and the first mention I can see of it is in the San Bernardino County Sun on Friday, June 5th, 1970, and he said it to reporters.
