'' Leslie "Mad Dog" Irvin (April 2, 1924–November 9, 1983) was an American serial killer whose killing spree in the early 1950s terrorized residents of southwestern Indiana and whose Supreme Court case set a precedent for ensuring a fair trial for defendants even in the wake of a great deal of pretrial publicity. ==Crimes== Irvin was ultimately arrested in connection with six murders which were committed in four separate incidents. This killing spree began 2 December 1954 and ended 28 March 1955. The crimes took place in Vanderburgh and Posey counties in Indiana and Henderson county in Kentucky. The victims were:〔 * 2 December 1954: Mary Holland, 33. Shot in head at close range at work. She was 3 months pregnant. Motive: Robbery. *23 December 1954: Wesley Kerr, 29. Shot in head at close range at work. Robbery. *21 March 1955: Wilhelmina Sailer, 47, Mt. Vernon, Indiana. Housewife, killed at home. Shot in head. Burglary. *28 March 1955: Goebel Duncan, 51. Henderson, KY. Burglary. * *Raymond Duncan, 29, Goebel's son. * *Maple Elizabeth Duncan, 20, Dorris Ray's (Raymond's brother) wife. In the last incident, Goebel's wife, Mamie, was shot but survived, permanently blinded. Elizabeth had a two-year-old daughter who was spared.〔 In connection with the confession they claimed to have extracted from Irvin, the police claimed he admitted to two dozen burglaries and robberies.〔 It turns out that Irvin had a criminal history. He had received a sentence of 10 to 20 years for armed robbery in Indianapolis in 1945, served 9 years, and moved to Evansville in May, 1954.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leslie Irvin (serial killer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
