Faces of Death III Page #3

further questions.

This afternoon I'm sure

there will be a total

press conference

answering all your questions.

It would be the last

crime the psychotic killer

would ever commit.

Within a week, he would be

arrested in his own apartment,

where police

would discover evidence

of a most

fearful nature.

But an even greater

fear is death.

Until his capture,

Mike Lorenzo kept the women

of Castle Beach in

a perpetual state of fear.

...an arrest warrant, I went

to 7321 Johnson Avenue

where I arrested the man

seated at the table.

You made

the arrest?

Yes, I did.

Was a search made

of the defendant's person

or premises

at that time?

Yes, there was.

And what did

you find?

Your Honor, I object to this

entire line of questioning

relating to the search

of the defendant's

person or premises.

That search was

in violation

of the fourth

and fourteenth amendments

of the Constitution.

Counsel, you are aware that

this is not the proper time

to make such

objections.

Youare overruled.

Proceed.

Thank you,

your Honour.

Officer, would you

please tell the court

what was found

during the search?

I found a videocassette

and six Polaroid stills.

Your Honour, at this time I

would like the videocassette

to be identified

as State Exhibit A,

and the six stills

to be identified

as Exhibits B

through G.

So ordered.

At this time,

your Honour,

I would like to show the video

cassette to the Court.

You may proceed.

Mike Lorenzo

ended his reign of terror

by committing suicide

in the courtroom holding cell.

Taking his life

by his own hand

was easier than facing

society's retribution.

Sociologists are in

general agreement

the dynamics of a city are

highly conductive to crime.

When a person is forced

to live in a world

where over-crowded sidewalks

and the continual sound

of traffic prevent even

a brief moment of repose,

an emotional retaliation

will eventually happen.

So was the case

of Lucas Washington,

an unemployed factory worker

who could no longer

deal with the city

in which he lived.

Equipped with

an M-1 rifle,

he declared war

from his apartment window

on the city

of New York.

Hey, get up here.

Don't worry about it,

don't worry about it.

It's all over.

Just go out

in the hall.

You alright?

Yeah.

Alright.

Let's just, it's alright,

don't get too shaky.

Sick people

in this city.

Ma'am, can you tell us

what happened?

Can you tell us

what happened?

A young female hostage

managed to survive

the shoot-out between

Washington and the police.

Suffering extreme

emotional trauma,

this innocent bystander is

still under psychiatric care.

In the aftermath

of this heinous crime,
