Billy was first inspired to learn the art of the pitch after enjoying a Ginsu-knife demonstration on an Atlantic City, N.J., boardwalk.

The two have given conflicting accounts of their whereabouts, and there is evidence that the murder scene was tampered with before police arrived. Then there's the confession, in which Knox said she was at the house during the killing but blamed her boss, bar owner Patrick Lumumba...
...done. Many hold up the pictures of the wounded and killed, gruesome images of blood-covered chests and heads, the young and the middle-aged who have fallen. There is an overhead picture of a plainsclothes basiji rushing at a protester with some kind of club, perhaps even a knife. His face is clearly visible. Some of these pictures have the word "killer" scribbled on them. (See pictures of Tehran's terror in plain clothes...
