Eyes Of A Killer - Howard Blum Part VII
Post Body

More rambling, prosaic, verbose and prolix than previous Blum articles - a confused, contradictory and inconsistent, very "dramatised" account of recent court hearings on the venue survey and the star-gazing alibi. Odd references to the "Kirker" church in Moscow.

Yeah, this is his worst so far. The articles in this series are getting steadily worse and more divorced from the facts. I thought the one where he went on about the pool party, asking (rhetorically it seemed) if KG,MM had been seen there was bad, this is worse. Very odd point about the Moscow church too.

Here are part 1 and part 2 (the first few are better, they get worse as goes on, a few inaccuracies in each though iirc)

I just used archive.is - just paste the url for each article in there and it gives you an archived version that is accessible. They are all on Airmail

flailing around trying to find his point.

Yes, could be. As you say, the first couple of articles were quite good, informative. This is far from that. Maybe the culty church seems like an interesting angle even jf totally irr

I preordered the book

😀🤣😀 enjoy, and i look forward to the review on r/Ireadabookandadoredit in due course.

doesn't look like church members have gotten very far in infiltrating local politics and organizations

It seems like quite a sweeping generalisation that members of this church would have an anti-authority/ anti law and order type view to extend of finding a killer not guilty if the case was very strong. Seems like another of Blum's flights of fancy, like the previous pool party article.
