MARTINEZ – A teenager described by former classmates as a brooding nonconformist with an interest in the occult was charged as an adult in the murder of the wife of a prominent defense attorney.
Scott Dyleski, 16, was being held in Contra Costa Juvenile Hall after his first court appearance Friday in the beating death of 52-year-old Pamela Vitale. He did not enter a plea or speak as the judge set bail at $1 million.
Defense lawyer and TV legal pundit Daniel Horowitz found his wife's body Oct. 15 at the couple's hilltop estate, where they were building their dream home. Dyleski lived with his mother down the hill in the wealthy suburb of Lafayette, about 20 miles east of San Francisco.
The San Francisco Chronicle, quoting unidentified law enforcement sources, reported Friday that Dyleski was running a credit-card scam and went to Horowitz and Vitale's estate trying to track down some marijuana-growing equipment he had ordered. He got into a fight there with Vitale, who was hit dozens of times in the head with a piece of crown molding, the newspaper reported.
According to the Chronicle, when Dyleski was arrested Wednesday he had scratches consistent with a violent struggle. Horowitz has said his wife appeared to have fought her attacker.
"This is a brutal homicide," Deputy District Attorney Harold Jewett said. "We believe it's a situation where he is not entitled to protections accorded him under juvenile law."
Jewett declined to comment on the Chronicle's report but said it was not helpful to the investigation.
Ivan Golde, a friend of Horowitz and fellow attorney, said Friday that Horowitz had done some legal work for Dyleski's family but did not know the teenager.
Horowitz "wrote some letters, made a few phone calls, but that's it, nothing serious, just stuff lawyers do all the time for their friends and neighbors," he said.
Horowitz has appeared on cable news networks as a legal commentator for such high-profile cases as the Scott Peterson murder trial. Vitale worked part-time for his law firm.
Dyleski's arraignment was set for Thursday. If convicted of murder as an adult, he could face up to life in prison; he is too young to face the death penalty.
Former classmates recalled Dyleski, who turns 17 later this month, as a nonconformist who tested out of Acalanes High School early. Some described him as gothic, dyeing his brown hair black and often wearing dark clothes and a long trench coat.
Keith Kingon said that Dyleski told people he was reading the book of Satan and that he once drew a pentagram on the ground with chalk in junior high and danced around it.
Yearbook photos of Dyleski show a transformation from fresh-faced middle schooler to brooding teenager with black-rimmed eyes. But while some former classmates described him as a morose oddball, others who know him insisted he was basically a good kid.
His stepfather, Glenn Hirschberger, described him as a "thoughtful, intelligent young man" incapable of the brutal attack on Vitale.
"Not Scott – absolutely not," Hirschberger, who was married to the boy's mother for about four years in the 1990s, told the Chronicle. "There's absolutely no way he'd be involved in anything like this."
What kind of clothing was the boy wearing?
This is not rocket science.
Son, do you REALL think everything you find interested SHOWS in what you WEAR?
LOL!
You are terribly shallow.
Harry Potter made him do it...no, [ponders further] it's Bush's fault.
I have preferred black clothes for three decades. Gets a little hot in the summers, but last time I checked, I havn't seen any pentagrams around my house.....
On another thread a poster mentioned that Dyleski's face had no marks. This is odd. There are many other odd things about this case, such as Pamela allgedly opening the door for him in panties and a T-shirt.
If the kid is being set up, his parents better get him a darn good lawyer.
East Bay: New state park will straddle rich vein of historyKen Dyleski crept behind a stand of thistle, careful not to crunch the dead grass under his boots.

Soon, the public will be able to follow in Dyleski's footsteps -- almost literally. Dyleski, an Antioch resident and a volunteer member of the stewardship committee of the environmental group Save Mount Diablo, is helping to map out trails and locate other public facilities for the transformation of the 4,000-acre ranch into California's newest state park.
The park is considered significant because it secures the area's natural and human history and puts these qualities within reach of millions of urban residents from San Jose to Stockton.
I just checked FR Keywords for "Mount Diablo" and came up with this article.
Man wants to exorcise Mt. Diablo
Contra Costa Times ^ | 4/14/5 | Lisa Vorderbrueggen
Posted on 04/14/2005 7:44:44 AM PDT by SmithLA deeply religious Oakley man has petitioned the federal government to rename Mount Diablo, calling the current name a profane salute to Satan.
In Art Mijares' application to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, the first for this peak, he suggests naming it "Mount Kawukum," a word he believes has American Indian roots.
"Words have power, and when you start mentioning words that come from the dark side, evil thrives," said Mijares.
"When I take boys camping on the mountain -- I don't even like to say its name -- I have to explain what the name means. Why should we have a main feature of our community that celebrates the devil?"
(snip)
The idea immediately drew heat from groups such as Save Mount Diablo, California State Parks and the Mount Diablo Pilots Association.

"We're laughing about the proposal, but this is no laughing matter," said Seth Adams, a leader of Save Mount Diablo. "About once a decade, someone proposes to change Mount Diablo's name, often using some fictitious Indian legend as justification. We don't support the rewriting of history."
The name Kawukum first surfaced in 1866, when a church group tried to change Mount Diablo's name for reasons nearly identical to Mijares', according to noted Bay Area researcher Bev Ortiz.

The U.S. Board on Geographic Names voted unanimously this week to keep Mount Diablo's name the same, saying it "saw no compelling reason to change the name," said spokeswoman Jennifer Runyan. The Portland, Ore.-based agency was responding to a complaint by Art Mijares, an Oakley man who wanted the name changed to reflect American Indian languages.

Very strange stuff ... .
Same kind of drivel that came from the various mouths of Jihad Johnny Walker's various parental entities.
Mine either and I wear black slacks to work every day.
The Save Mount Diablo clique was frequently characterized by 'witches' and covens back in the early 90s. Lots of publicity surrounding their associations at Concord NWS and other nearby military reservations in that era.
Astrology is another blatant example of primitive pagan idolatry and fantasy with planets of the solar system assigned the names of pagan gods, stars grouped as fantastical images of mythical legend, whereby the fate of a person is purportedly revealed. The astrologers are revered as prophets by psychotic, neurotic adherents in frequent fanatical devotion to any musings these charlatans utter.
Images of distant stars being most often many centuries and millenniums old, are no things corporeal. The actual objects have ceased to exist as perceived and are phantasms, mere ghosts of what once was long ago. (Divination through spirits of the dead is necromancy.)
Attempting divination by optical illusions emanated from long past objects, avoiding your actual self-determined future repeatedly disregarded in favor of musings by a mystical witch doctor is neurotic, idolatrous and fanatical. Astrology is simply an epic lunatic fantasy, and saying so is the ultimate blasphemy for such pagan religionists.
The idea of fate is rooted in the fantasy that some imaginary, ethereal forces determine the course of human events. This is contrary to the ideas that God allows free will to choose or reject Salvation, and that God alone reveals prophecy (a.k.a. Providence). It is also an attempt to counterfeit and replace those ideas, where pantheons of fantasies are the medium of infinitization and not a singular limitless Creator.
Egyptian Book of the Dead: “Behold, I am Set, the creator of confusion, who creates both the tempest and the storm throughout the length and breadth of the heavens.”
Astrology arises from the pagan Chaldean cults of Babylon. We now know Babylon as Iraq. The Tigris-Euphrates Valley is the cradle of human civilization and has never known freedom in all of history. Is it coincidence? Is it coincidence the Neo-Pagan, New Age mystery cults of Leftist politics are so animated in their opposition to bringing freedom and the Judaic principles of justice to Iraq? Is it coincidence that many domestic social issues are being driven by cultic Leftist advocacy of unnatural, phantasmagoric perversity? Is it coincidence that they have such a seething hatred of George W. Bush?
It is no coincidence Islamic pagans hate Israel, Jews, Christians and Western Civilization. The entire basis of Western Civilization is Mosaic Law, something both the Neo-Pagan Left and the pagan Islamic thugs cannot abide and wish to destroy.
The proliferation of psychics, seers, soothsayers, healers, gurus, UFO cults, conspiracy cults, witches, etc., etc., ad nauseum, is a social psychosis, an occulted (or masked) promotion of Leftist propaganda, a social psychosis of Cultural Marxism (that I have identified in the Drama Complex). [See: Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960s . Camille Paglia perfectly describes in section 9, the magazine I now call “Psychopathy Today”...]
A great source of much anecdotal evidence for all of the things I previously mentioned and others I will elaborate on later, can be found in the May/June, 2003 issue of Psychology Today. The publication is strictly a political propaganda rag, not at all applicable to a secular study of psychological science, but filled with esoteric neo-pagan New Age drivel from the psychedelic 1960's, idolatries, advertisements for religious cults and drugs, manic sex perverts, inductive argument, and outright fallacies when either put to the testing of truth tables in prepositional logic or tested by categorical logic - - all of it masked by the assumption it is somehow scientific because of the name on the cover. Pavlov's salivating dogs... Fantasy and phantasms... The social psychosis of the Drama Complex illustrated in almost every detail.
NO SURPRISE, THE BAY AREA IS FULL OF NEW AGE NEO-PAGAN LOONIES!!!
see #18...
You must be an ASS to make an ASSumption like that, dude.
