Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

At 8 p.m. I lay down on La Clenega Boulevard and was covered completely with a canvas tarpaulin. Two fifteen- minute flares were placed near me to alert cars. Just before the flares extinguished, a police car arrived. I was arrested and booked for causing a false emergency to be reported. Trial took place in Beverly Hills. After three days of deliberation, the jury failed to reach to decision, and the judge dismissed the case.

The rope snapped and McConaghy fell on the floor. While a new rope was prepared McConaghy gave a chilling account of his methodical slaughter of his father-in-law’s wife and five children.
