Thanks for doing the time line...that is very helpful.

SuziQ, thank you so much for doing this timeline!

SuziQ · Jan 24, 2008

A reminder that this is a discussion only thread. However, I certainly can't complain about "thank you's". So thank you for your thank you's!

While I'm here breaking my own "discussion only" rule, I need to thank all the sleuthers who dug up the dirt I used to make the timeline.

Now no more discussion ok? :blowkiss:

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"A guilty plea to murder less than a month after charges were filed would be highly unusual. Most murder cases routinely take a year or more to resolve.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hilton, 61, faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison if convicted of murder. Under current pardons and paroles guidelines, he would be eligible for parole in 30 years."[/FONT]

When attorney-turned-movie producer Samuel Rael decided he wanted to make a film about a serial killer in 1995, it was former legal client Gary Michael Hilton who he says came up with the plot.

I'm not sure of I'm allowed to ask this here, but it pertaining to the timeline. In 1987 did he serve hard time? When did he get out?

Doesn't look like he did, earthmama777. For over four decades GMH played the justice system like a banjo, imo..

nolle prosequi. (no-lay pro-say-kwee) n. Latin for "we shall no longer prosecute," which is a declaration made to the judge by a prosecutor in a criminal case (or by a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit) either before or during trial, meaning the case against the defendant is being dropped
