Daniel James White
Died October 21, 1985 b. 1946
American assassin. In 1978, he killed Harvey Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone. At his trial, White claimed diminished capacity due to depression caused by a diet of junk food and sugary drinks. This has become known as the “Twinkie Defense”. Even though he avoided metal detectors, which would have detected his gun and 10 rounds of ammunition, by entering the building through a side window and later stated he intended to kill two other people as well, he was only convicted of voluntary manslaughter rather than first-degree murder and sentenced to seven years in prison. He served five years in prison before being paroled, but committed suicide less than two years later.White had resigned from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, but then applied for reappointment. White was angry because Moscone and Milk had opposed his reappointment.

They really should have brought George along on this trip. He would at least know the language and the lay of the land.

It figures, in this day and age a garbage can would be equipped with an improbability drive. Sigh.
