The Appeal of the Night Stalker: The Railroading of Richard Ramirez
Amazon.com: The Appeal of the Night Stalker: The Railroading of Richard Ramirez eBook : Zola, Emily, Roslyn, Jay, Graham, K.C., Conrad, Hector: Kindle Store
www.amazon.com
I wrote a book that takes a deep dive into the Richard Ramirez "Night Stalker" case. Nothing on documentaries is true.
The book's about £20 but it's a big bastard and took two years of intense research. Here's the US link.

This next video shows Richard Ramirez clearly in a state of psychosis, but the court denied competency hearings as the attorney calling for them was bounced off the case.
You can see by his behaviour that something wasn't "right."

Part 12 of my book discusses three psychiatrists who examined Richard Ramirez before the trial.
They all found him to have Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and brain damage. These were untreated and left him with psychosis.
His attorneys suppressed it. This video series shows how/why.

This video covers several chapters of my book and explains how none of the victims described the man that police said was responsible for the murders. Why? Because they had already selected their suspect based on theories that were, frankly, nonsense. #authorsky

I know it's a controversial topic but don't dismiss it as a conspiracy theory. It's true that the victim police statements do not match what police were telling the public. I wrote about it in my book, now my friend has made a video on it. Any questions, ask us.

Additionally, there is some misinformation that I need to clarify. It's a big book so a lot of work.

It's difficult to make people engage w/ this because it concerns a controversial topic - a serial killer. However, it's an important discussion. There was mystery blood at the crime scene. The circumstantial evidence is highly questionable.

Only circumstantial evidence tied Ramirez to this case:
1. the presence of shoeprints that were neither recovered nor scientifically tied to him.
2. the victim's property was found with a fence who claimed Ramirez gave him the items. But he was not credible
