Judge

Yeah.

It's a bad beef.

The judgment of this court is that you, John Lawless, for the crime of manslaughter, having feloniously run down, run over, and killed with a certain automobile, the deceased person named in the indictment, and having subsequently departed the scene in violation of the hit-and-run statute, are hereby sentenced to a term of three to ten years in the state prison of the state of California...

Hey, Johnny, hurry up.

We've got a train to catch.

I am struck by the sheer inhumanity of what one human being can do to not one, but three human beings.

It is incomprehensible.

You cajoled, lured, and deceived Shatisha Shealy,

Angela Deskins and Sherelda Terry to your apartment for your depraved purposes.

You went on to abuse the corpses of these three victims.

You stripped them from the waist down.

You folded them in half, binding them so that their feet were up by their ears.

You wrapped them in multiple layers of trash bags and you discarded them.

Order in the court!

You may proceed, Mr. Holloway.

Thank you, Your Honor.

To continue, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, in judging Harry Benson, as you will and must, I ask only that you keep in mind this fact, and you will be forced to free Harry Benson from this hideous charge.

Police have established that Mrs. Benson died in the city, died from a bullet in her heart.

You will remember it.

The weapon was still in her hand when she was found in her apartment around noon on a Tuesday.
