OJ Simpson, Clark Rockefeller + Octomom Porn Battles on Crime Time

We examine the latest in OJ Simpson's legal fight to get a new trial, California laws on Marijuana and Pornography, and get an epilogue for the Clark Rockefeller case from our guest, journalist Frank Giradot. No bizarre corner is left unexamined on Crime Time...

GUEST INFO:
Frank C. Girardot Jr. has traversed the gritty streets of Los Angeles, California, rubbed elbows with police officers who were of the same ilk as the criminals they apprehended and moved among the cadavers at the Los Angeles County Office of Coroner as if he were the spirit of some poor soul who wound up there.
He knows the scene; the crime scene, that is.

Few modern newspaper reporters or editors have accumulated his vast experience -- from covering the O.J. Simpson murder trial to uncovering curious links between one Christopher Chichester and the disappearance of a young San Marino couple in 1985.

It is the latter case that consumes Girardot's attention now. Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, alias Christopher Chichester, alias Clark Rockefeller, stands accused by Los Angeles County prosecutors of killing John Sohus in 1985 and burying his body in the backyard of the San Marino home where Gerhartsreiter was staying.

Girardot's investigation with Star-News staffer Nathan McIntire in 2008 likely is at least partly responsible for the L.A. County District Attorney's Office's decision to file charges against Gerhartsreiter. Girardot's 1993 article on unsolved mysteries of the San Gabriel Valley prompted author James Ellroy to investigate the 1958 strangulation murder of his mother, Geneva Hilliker Ellroy, as Ellroy described in his book, "My Dark Places." Girardot's article also has been the subject of an "E! True Hollywood Story" and an episode of CourtTV's "Murder by the Book."
