False Confessions?
“But he literally confessed!” During the preliminary hearing, Richard Ramirez’s defence team asked Judge Nelson to listen to an hour-long taped police interview from the day he was arrested.

The Monster in Fetters
Richard Ramirez’s constitutional rights were violated on multiple occasions because he had waived his rights, due to being mentally incompetent and unable to understand what was happening – not because he was simple, but because his thoughts were disordered due to temporal lobe disorder.

Even if he was absolutely guilty of some of them, these arguments still…

Who Defends The Undefended? Part One.
*Images may require viewing via a desktop for clarity* Unqualified to defend a case of such magnitude. “It is nothing you would understand, but I do have something to say. In fact, I have a lot to say, but now is not the time or the place. I don’t even know why I am wasting…
