NEW YORK (AP) - Items that belonged to David Berkowitz, the imprisoned "Son of Sam" killer who terrorized New York for 13 months in the 1970s, were assigned Monday to a lawyer for safekeeping until a judge decides whether he can have them back.
Berkowitz, serving six 25-years-to-life sentences for killing six people and wounding seven others in 1976 and 1977, has said in a lawsuit that he loaned the documents, letters, photos and other items to his former lawyer Hugo R. Harmatz and now wants them back.
Harmatz has said he was willing to return some of the items but considered others gifts that he intends to keep. He is seeking dismissal of the lawsuit in state Supreme Court in Manhattan.
