  Jack Ruby: A Review and Reassessment - Part 1 Jack Ruby: A Review and Reassessment - Part 2 Jack Ruby: A Review and Reassessment - Part 3 Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties: O'Neill, Tom, Piepenbring, Dan: Order Here Mind Games: The Assassination of John Lennon: Whelan, David: Order Here Len shows his appreciation to Max & other researchers who put out good work. Reading Chaos by Tom O'Neill became inspiration for Max's deep dig into the Jack Ruby case. Max found it highly suspect that the MK ULTRA psychiatrist Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West was involved. When West died, he left thousands of papers that were donated & archived at UCLA. O'Neill was able to view West's documents before they were picked through by UCLA archivists. O'Neill raises the question of MK ULTRA being implemented on Jack Ruby. Was Jack tortured? On a road trip, Max stopped in L.A., spending a day at the UCLA archives to view West's files. Jolly West was performing experiments in the Haight Ashbury during the 'Summer of Love'. Taking 2000+ photos of the documents, Max has been reviewing them over the past couple of years. Jack Ruby has a psychotic break at the same time of West's involvement. Coincidence? Max discovered that West was actually involved in Ruby's case by November 29th, not March 1964! Realizing how significant it was that Jolly West was involved with Ruby, Max pressed on. Len & Max discuss the history & different aspects of MK ULTRA. Len notes that the experiments & participating universities or clinics were funded by Dept. Of Defence. Psychiatrist Bernard Diamond performed experiments on Sirhan Sirhan, hypnotizing him. How could Sirhan Sirhan not remember the events surrounding his involvement in RFK's shooting? Mark David Chapman sat down on the ground & started reading a book after shooting Lennon? Notice how the same doctors are involved in these sensationalist cases, over & over? During WWII the OSS & various armies were experimenting with truth drugs & mind control. Operation Bluebird & Operation Artichoke were the predecessors to MK ULTRA. The mind control programs have not stopped. Note the connections to military You can't count on any governmental agency to do an honest investigation? Governments participate in the planning of these events, the cover ups & neglect to investigate. Oswald's murder was the first televised murder in history. Melvin Belli didn't mention how soon he was involved in Ruby's case! Mere days! Max's intuition & research has lead him to believe Oswald's murder was premeditated. West worked fast from Oklahoma to organize a group of psychiatrists to work on Ruby. Jack hadn't been insane before the shooting of Oswald, or after. He was being manipulated. Tom Howard, Ruby's 1st lawyer was involved in Ruby's case within an hour of Oswald’s shooting. Howard was the first person to public ally state that Ruby wasn't in his right mind.

With the 60th anniversary of the assassinations of JFK & Lee Harvey Oswald, Danny Fingeroth brings us the new biography, JACK RUBY: The Many Faces of Oswald's Assassin (Chicago Review Press). Danny & I talk about what drew him to tell Ruby's story, how many JFK conspiracy rabbit-holes he had to avoid, the challenges of separating Ruby's life from myth & speculation, and how the bio began as a graphic novel collaboration with Rick Geary (!) before its prose incarnation (although he's still hoping for an adaptation). We get into what he learned from talking to Ruby's rabbi, Hillel Silverstein, the figures he would have loved to interview for this book, what Ruby's siblings & their kids went through in the aftermath of Jack's moment of infamy, the circus of Ruby's murder trial and Melvin Belli's failed epilepsy defense, and the danger of treating Ruby's life like a sitcom. We also discuss Danny's dizzying résumé, including his 20-year run as a writer & editor at Marvel Comics, discovering himself as a biographer with Stan Lee: A Marvelous Life, the complexity of the (working) relationships of Lee, Jack Kirby & Steve Ditko, the surreal of experience of meeting Gabe Kaplan while promoting JACK RUBY, and more!

The Enterprise responds to a distress call from a Federation outpost on the planet Triacus, only to arrive and find that the entire research team is dead from apparent suicide. What could have caused this? Only the surviving children know for sure, but they're too wrapped up in playing "Ring Around the Rosie" to care about their dead parents. After beaming back to the Enterprise, Captain Kirk discovers that the children are acting as a conduit to spread an evil force across the galaxy, and that force has incapacitated the entire crew from doing anything stop it. And so it goes with "And the Children Shall Lead," which has been widely panned for decades as one of the worst episodes of the entire series. But after producing four strong episodes in a row, how could the third season have taken such a big nosedive, and so quickly? Turns out it was a perfect storm of having a first-time "Star Trek" writer and a first-time "Trek" director being overseen by a new producer who didn't really get what "Star Trek" was all about. And then there was the ill-advised casting of attorney Melvin Belli in the key role of the "friendly angel." Though other fine episodes would soon follow, "And the Children Shall Lead" deserve its notorious reputation as the nadir of "Star Trek," and it sadly marks the beginning of the end of a once-great series.

Welcome to our serial killer podcast. For fans of the true crime podcast genre. This is episode 5 of our serial killer podcast, and in this episode we take a look at one of the more peculiar happenings in the Zodiac Killer saga. It is an early October morning in 1969, just days after the brutal slaying of San Francisco cabbie Paul Stine, when a phone call is placed to the Oakland Police Department. The caller claims that they are the Zodiac, and demands to speak to either F. Lee Bailey or Melvin Belli on the Jim Dunbar show at 6AM. SFPD detectives Dave Toschi and Bill Armstrong are tasked with bringing the flamboyant San Francisco lawyer Melvin Belli to the KGOTV Studios ahead of this unknown person calling in to the show. What plays out during this early morning TV show was unforgettable for those who watched it live. Belli arranges a one on one meeting with the caller, what will happen? Will this caller who is claiming to be a serial killer show up? Keep watching our serial killer podcast to find out! In the aftermath of the call the police work frantically to trace who the caller was, in the hopes that they would be able to bring justice to the victims of the zodiac killer.

And The Children Shall Lead was the fourth episode of Star Trek's third season to air, with a group of children attempting to take control of the Enterprise with the aid of a ghoulish green apparition. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss the old adage about working with children and animals. After the death of all the adults on a Federation colony, the apparently unaffected children come on board the Enterprise to be transported to the nearest Starbase. The eldest child, Tommy (Craig Hundley) leads the others in a series of games that show no indication of having processed the deaths of their parents. It soon transpires that the children are in the thrall of a Gorgon (celebrity attorney Melvin Belli) who encourages them to take control of the ship and change its destination, putting the safety of all aboard at risk. And The Children Shall Lead was directed by Marvin Chomsky, the first of his three episodes in the chair. The writer was Edward J. Lakso, thankfully his only writing credit for the show. In this episode Gerry and Iain considered why these children were quite so irritating.

You can listen to the show here on the website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Pocket Casts, TuneIn, Stitcher, Google or wherever you find your podcasts.

Join us in the Garage with our good friend Mike Morford from the Criminology podcast as we take a deep dive into Zodiac’s communications with Melvin Belli and the still unsolved murder of Cheri Jo Bates. Tapping into Mike's extensive Zodiac knowledge we discuss the evidence, the suspects and of course the “what ifs.”  Beer of the Week - Sip N’ Go Naked by The Tamarack Brewing CompanyGarage Grade - 4 and a half bottle caps out of 5  Our show - True Crime Garage “Off the Record” is available only on Stitcher Premium.

Father William Riker was the founder of The Perfect Christian Divine Way, which was not perfect, Christian, or divine!  Set in the 1920s - 1940s in his heyday, Holy City is located in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California, between Santa Clara County (Silicon Valley) and Santa Cruz. A couple of things that were not mentioned in the podcast: 1.) Melvin Belli was a prominent American lawyer known as "The King of Torts" and by insurance companies as "Melvin Bellicose". He had many celebrity clients, including Zsa Zsa Gabor, Errol Flynn, Chuck Berry, Muhammad Ali, The Rolling Stones, Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Bakker, Martha Mitchell, Maureen Connolly, Lana Turner, Tony Curtis, and Mae West. During his legal career, he won over $600 million in damages for his clients. He was also the attorney for Jack Ruby, who shot Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. 2.) Riker died on December 3, 1969 at Agnews State Hospital, in Santa Clara, California. **WARNING: REFERENCES TO RACIST STATEMENTS MADE BY WILLIAM RIKER ARE IN THIS PODCAST.    --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cultscoffeeconvo/message

57 years after the fact and people are still asking what really happened during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. There are multiple theories floating around ranging from lone assassin to government conspiracy with several shooters. The most widely accepted version of events today is that Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, who was then shot and killed by Jack Ruby, who was defended in court by none other than Melvin Belli. Robert Lieff, who had joined the Belli firm between Ruby's conviction and appeal, tells Jack Russo what Melvin Belli believed happened to JFK in 1963, the theory that Belli was hired by mafia to represent Jack Ruby and the believability of these theories. What is the inside story of Jack Ruby? Is there even one? Also in discussion: California State Lands Commission v. Plains Pipeline, L.P.

Tread Perilously warps into Star Trek month with one of the least awesome episodes of the original series: "And the Children Shall Lead" When the Enterprise arrives on Triacus, they discover all of adult colonists have killed themselves in some sort of murder/suicide pact. Their children, meanwhile, play "Ring Around the Rosie." After experiencing a lack of confidence in a nearby cave, Captain Kirk beams the landing party and the children back to the ship. There, the children summon Gorgan (special guest star Melvin Belli), an ancient marauding spirit dedicated to finding his way to a planet filled with people. Will the children lead him to that world? Erik and Justin determine this is the episode everyone but Shatner did unwillingly. Justin also develops a theory behind great episodes of Star Trek and terrible ones. The pair's fascination with Brian Cox's portrayal of Melvin Belli in Zodiac fails them as Belli's part turns out to be quite small. They nonetheless imagine what his podcast would've been like. Erik's Spock impression disappears entirely into his Kirk impression. The sad UFP flag gets a shoutout. Space knives turn out to be less impressive than hoped for and DeForest Kelley becomes a minor villain in Justin's world.

Focusing for the first time on why attorney general Robert F. Kennedy wasn't killed in 1963 instead of on why President John F. Kennedy was, Mark Shaw offers a stunning and provocative assassination theory that leads directly to the family patriarch, Joseph P. Kennedy. Mining fresh information and more than 40 new interviews, Shaw weaves a spellbinding narrative involving Mafia don Carlos Marcello; Jack Ruby (Lee Harvey Oswald's killer); Ruby's attorney, Melvin Belli; and, ultimately, the Kennedy brothers and their father. Shaw addresses these tantalizing questions: Why, shortly after his brother's death, did a grief-stricken RFK tell a colleague, "I thought they would get one of us...I thought it would be me"? Why was Belli, an attorney with almost no defense experience (but proven ties to the Mafia), chosen as Jack Ruby's attorney? How does Belli's Mafia connection call into question his legal strategy, which ultimately led to the Ruby's first-degree murder conviction and death sentence? What was Joseph Kennedy's relationship to organized crime? And how was his insistence that JFK appoint RFK as attorney general tantamount to signing the president's death warrant?

In this bonus episode we dive into a haunting chapter of the Zodiac killer saga when the notorious serial killer directly reaches out for help through a dramatic interaction with famed attorney Melvin Belli. On October 22, 1969, in an audacious move, the Zodiac demanded Belli appear on a popular morning TV show, igniting a series of events filled with hope and deception. The episode unravels this bizarre engagement through the lens of Belli and the call-in show, capturing the tense exchanges and the desperate pleas of a caller identifying himself as 'Sam,' claiming to suffer from unbearable headaches since committing his crimes.The narrative takes a darker turn as it explores the aftermath of the televised plea, detailing a planned but failed meeting between Belli and the Zodiac in Daly City, and the investigative twists that followed. This episode sheds light on the complexities of tracing the Zodiac's calls, the skepticism around the authenticity of 'Sam,' and the chilling realization that the Zodiac's communication might just be another manipulative game in his terrifying spree. In December 1969, a letter arrives at Belli's office, accompanied by a piece of blood-stained clothing from victim Paul Stine, reinforcing the grim reality of the Zodiac's deadly actions and his cryptic interactions with the public figures he drew into his orbit.Visit us online at itsfoulplay.comJoin our Patreon and community at Patreon.com/itsfoulplayOur Sponsors:* Check out Recess and use my code SHANE for a great deal: http://www.takearecess.com* Check out mylifeinabook.com and use code SHANE at checkout for 10% off.
