Book Event: In Conversation with Thien Ho
Saturday, November 8 | 2:00-3:30PM
In Partnership with Mam’s Books and Third State Books
In The People vs. the Golden State Killer, Thien Ho, the current Sacramento District Attorney, recounts his harrowing and exhilarating experience as the lead prosecutor responsible for capturing and prosecuting Joseph James DeAngelo. Referred to at various times by law enforcement and the media as the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area/East Bay Rapist, the Original Nightstalker, and finally the Golden State Killer, DeAngelo, a former policeman, is widely considered “one of the most notorious serial predators in American history” (Fresh Air/NPR).
Ho’s book is the first official account of how the Golden State Killer was apprehended and put behind bars for life. Ho led an elite team of law enforcement from six California prosecutor's offices, using a newly developed tool known as “investigative genetic genealogy” to connect DeAngelo to multiple cold cases stretching back nearly a half century.
Thien Ho will be in conversation with Leesa Manion, King County Prosecuting Attorney.
Books will be available on-site for sale by Mam's Books.
