"Son of Sam" says he was cult member

David Berkowitz convicted for the so-called "Son of Sam" murders in NYC (1977), once said his dog "Sam" made him do it. But Berkowitz claims this month his murder spree was actually a cult initiation. He now says, "The cult made me do it."

The prison inmate, who has gone from supposed "Satanist" to "'born-again' Christian" seems willing to say almost anything for attention and has about as much credibility as Saddam Hussein. However, Channel 7 Eyewitness News in NYC apparently thought this would make a good story for the 25th anniversary of the murders. Sadly, the father of one victim seems ready to believe the murderer.

Perhaps the best place for Mr. Berkowitz is solitary confinement. Somewhere dark and dank, say in a subterranean part of the prison? This might eliminate any distractions and allow for quality time, so that the "Son of a Bitch" can come up with a better story.
