Charles was sent to psychiatric hospitals several times in the '80s, first in 1984 after breaking the nose of an elderly Grantham woman he considered a "government agent."

"I was startled at how deeply involved they were with my father," he says. The elderly woman Charles had attacked turned out to be a retired psychiatric nurse who agreed to drive more than an hour to meet Lachenmeyer's film crew...
Five years ago, the President of the U.S. couldn't get arrested, at least not in the show-business sense of the phrase.

The case involved a black man, Duane Edwards, who was arrested in the District of Columbia in 1995 for selling an undercover agent 126.6 grams of crack for $3,400. In rejecting Edwards' argument last December, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that Congress was trying to purposely discriminate in setting greater penalties for possession of crack. Edwards' hope of securing a less severe sentence may eventually be realized: The U.S. Sentencing Commission...
