Not great. In interviews with police and reporters, Tamar claimed that Dr. Hodel had been molesting her since she was 11 years old. This is her father. And that she had been encouraged to participate in sex acts with other adults at various house parties. To which she obviously couldn't consent. What that means was she was raped. That's what that means. Yeah. That's the clearer way to say that.

Not that she was, you know, encouraged to participate. She was raped. She was raped. In early December 1949, George Hodel went on trial for the abuse of his daughter, and the DA presented several witnesses who claimed to have been at the sex parties and verified what she alleged.

Even Hodel himself, and this should not be understated, because even Hodel himself stated in depositions that he had been, quote, delving into the mystery of love and the universe with his daughter.

And later he will claim like, no, I didn't do anything. It's like, nope, you said it. You said it because he also suggested that his memory of the events was, quote, unclear like a dream. He's fucked. He's disgusting.

The case should have been an easy prosecution for the DA. Close and shut. Open and shut. Had it not been... You said close and shut. Close and shut.

Just shut it. Yeah. Throw him behind bars. But there was one statement made by Tamar during questioning from the defense that kind of made it, changed it a little. Before ending his questioning, defense attorney Robert Neeb asked one last question. He said, Tamar, do you recall a conversation you had with a roommate at the Franklin house by the name of Joe Barrett?

He said, Tamar, do you recall a conversation you had with a roommate at the Franklin house by the name of Joe Barrett?

And do you recall in that conversation making the following statement to him, quote, this house has secret passages. My father is the murderer of the Black Dahlia. My father is going to kill me and all the rest of the members of this household because he has a lust for blood. He is insane. The courtroom was fucking stunned by this. I would think.

And Tamar tried to explain that she had no recollection of having said that. I mean, of course, she's scared for her fucking life. Yeah. Despite the strength of the case going into the trial, it soon became clear that the defense had intended to make her seem like a petty, vindictive daughter who was willing to lie in order to get revenge on her father, who she felt ignored her.

That's what they were trying to go with. I think she wished that he ignored her. Honestly, she'd be better off. One defense witness after another took to the stand to call Tamar a liar or worse, to recant their previous statements corroborating her initial accusations. So they had said she was a bully and then they would come back and be like, just kidding. Real nice.

Steve Hodel later learned that several of those fucking witnesses had been offered large sums of money by his father to lie on the stand. I think they call that hush money. And I hope you are having the life you deserve or you're having the afterlife that you deserve to all those people. I fully believe in karma. At the end of the trial, George Hodel was found innocent of the charges.
