Simply outstanding topic to highlight, Podge, as these cases NEVER receive the attention they deserve.

The commutation by GW Bush of mass murderer Henry Lee Lucas certainly ranks amongst the more curious and egregious of these types of affairs. Lucas was the only murderer shown this treatment from the notoriously hard nosed Texas governor.

Likewise, the arrest in 1983 of Brooklyn DA Eugene Gold for assaulting a 10 year old may directly tie in with the handling of the serial killer Son of Sam a few years earlier. Berkowitz' trial was moved to Brooklyn when the far larger number of slayings took place in the Bronx.

The fact that numerous witnesses emphatically, consistently identified multiple killers throughout the months' long spree prompted widespread suspicion concerning a "Lone Killer" being quickly railroaded through a sham - read, NO substantive investigation - trial under the auspices of pedophile Gold.

The subsequent fate of Sam Carr's kids (Sam being the source for the "Son of Sam" labellling), should also raise more than a few eyebrows.

Excellent work.
