Kitty Genovese’s attacker was vile enough to have raped again, during an escape from custody. He was meant to get the death penalty at his original trial, with the judge even claiming he’d be willing to perform the execution. Post-Dinkins, New York cleaned house a bit. So here’s hoping that after the Sandinista mayoralty New York will really clean house like never before.
