Editor's Note:
Written by a retired detective, this true crime saga captures California's first insanity plea, given during a murder trial from the early twentieth century that rocked Hollywood with accusations. Readers of "Tinseltown: Murder, Morphine, and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood" will love "Not Just Evil." Twelve-year-old Marion Parker was kidnapped from her Los Angeles school by an unknown assailant on December 15, 1927. Her body was found days later, delivered to her father by the killer, who fled with the ransom money. When William Hickman was hunted down and charged with the killing, he admitted to all of it, in terrifying detail, but that was only the start His insanity plea was the first of its kind in the history of California, and the nature of the crime led to a media frenzy unlike any the country had seen to that point. Hickman's lawyers argued that their client lived in a fantasy world, inspired by movies, unable to tell right from wrong. The movie industry scrambled to protect its exploding popularity (and profits) from ruinous publicity. Outside of the courtroom, a country grew starved for every awful detail and a media was only too happy to feed that hunger. As scandals threatened the proceedings from moment one, the death of a young girl grew into a referendum on the state of America at the birth of mass media culture. David Wilson, a private investigator for over thirty years, captures the maelstrom of Marion Parker's death in vivid detail. From the crime itself to the manhunt that followed, from the unprecedented trial to its aftermath, Wilson draws reader in to the birth of the celebrity criminal."
