The dems at ABC are claiming that the 1023 document contains only “second hand information.” Not true. It contains first hand information from Mykola Zlochevsky who was one of the key participants in the crime.
This is similar to the way they got Charles Manson. For several months after the murders, police were stymied and out of ideas until a prisoner from the county jail came forward and recounted a conversation that she had recently had with one of the Manson girls who was sharring her jail cell waiting trial on some unrelated matter. In the conversation, the Manson girl essentially bragged about committing the murders. The cops did not claim “second hand information” in that case, and instead followed up and unravelled the whole insane Mansom operation.
I remember that. I believe it was Susan Atkins who bragged to her cellmate about killing Sharon Tate and that she didn’t care that she was pregnant. It freaked the cellmate out and she went and ratted her out.
