The final act of this drama is still to come, when Chapman finally gets
parole, and puts his name to a version of what may, or may not be the
truth, in a multi-million best seller.

I'm nor sure of this, but in the UK I think there is a law that forbids
criminals from making a profit of this kind from their criminal behaviour.

I am sure that is true. Gone are the days when a villain could sell the
gory details of nefarious deeds to to the highest bidder among the
Sunday papers.


Finding that a murderer not only becomes famous but wealthy as a direct
result of their crime does seem a disgrace to me. Particularly when that
may have been the aim of the actual crime. But I guess this is par for the
course in our modern 'western' societies.

It would indeed be a disgrace.
Fortunately Ms Ono is able enough to hire the best attorneys
that money can buy. Let's hope they will prevail, if existing legislation
is not already in place.
