Since the state of NY didn't have the balls to execute the SOB, under the grandaddy of all RIMO's Gov Nelson Rockefeller (aka The six Billion Dollar Man), better late than never. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Winston Moseley, who stalked, raped and killed Kitty Genovese in a prolonged knife attack in New York in 1964 while neighbors failed to act on her desperate cries for help — a nightmarish tableau that came to symbolize urban apathy in America — died on March 28, in prison. He was 81.
Patrick J. Bailey, a spokesman for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, confirmed the death on Monday. A medical examiner would determine the cause of death, Mr. Bailey said.
Mr. Moseley, a psychopathic serial killer and necrophiliac, died at the maximum security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, N.Y., near the Canadian border. He had been imprisoned for almost 52 years, since July 7, 1964, and was one of the state’s longest-serving inmates.
His life behind bars had been relatively eventful. Mr. Moseley was condemned to die in the electric chair, but in 1967, two years after New York State abolished most capital punishments, he won an appeal that reduced his sentence to an indeterminate life term. While at Attica Correctional Facility, in 1968, he escaped while on a hospital visit to Buffalo, raped a woman and held hostages at gunpoint before being recaptured. He joined in the 1971 Attica uprising; earned a college degree in 1977; and was rejected 18 times at parole hearings, the last time in 2015.

I read it wasn’t really true that “no one did anything.”
Yes. Thanks.
It was a viral urban legend.
Said his fantasy was to climax at the exact moment his victim expired (from him killing her).
Urban legend.
Disarmed citizens.
Sons of obama.
Addition by subtraction.
“I read it wasn’t really true that “no one did anything.”
Sort of. A few people tried to call the police but NOBODY actually helped her. After the first attack Kitty Genovese was still alive and walking in the street screaming for help until Winston Mosely came back and killed her.
If they “did” something they didn’t do much and did far less than was needed
Like it or not for many people this event has and will continue to define the majority of NYC residents
I put that under the heading of: TOO Much INFO"
But not to be splitting hairs on a gross subject, but is that really necrophilia? I mean the person is alive at the beginning?
How any sane person can be ALLOWED to fight against the death penalty, is an indictment against sanity in America. WE spent roughly $1.5 Million by my estimate, keeping this midget prick alive in the last 50 years.
In fact two people DID call the cops and a grandmother came out and comforted her as she was dying.
I believe it was the NY Times that began the meme that no one helped. Even 50 years ago it was all about the false narrative (aka big lie).
“Even 50 years ago it was all about the false narrative (aka big lie)”
Excellent observation.
Today, if they did something, the folks would have been accused of racial profiling.
Somebody should have killed him in prison a long time ago...POS murderer!

Like us all....he now faces true judgement. Kitty will have her say finally.
One of my first posts at Auburn was giving other officers breaks, and covering their job while they were on that break. One of the posts I covered for break was called the wire gate. This was the gate all convicts had to check in with before being allowed to continue up into the Administration Building. It was when Moseley came to the gate, that I thought he looked familiar. When he showed me his ID card, I remembered where I'd seen him. It was on a TV news program on either CBS or NBC, that had aired several years before. I recalled that he was the one who had killed Kitty Genovese. The name tags we officers wore had our first initial and our last names. Moseley thought himself a ladies' man, and asked me what the initial K. stood for. I told him it was none of his business. It was only after he passed that I realized I should have busted his chops and said "Kitty." He was still at Auburn when I transferred in December of 1983, to the facility I retired from in 2003. It did my heart good to see he finally croaked. He should have been dead a long time ago like so many of other scum suckers like him.
