My jaw dropped when I read the mocking Wired article. If everyone who investigates or tries to unravel these real-life murders are labeled "obsessive conspiracy theorists," then the killer becomes the sympathetic character and the prober becomes the bad guy. Who will ever touch this case now, after Andrew Rice's hit-job in Wired.com?
Here's a question for Andrew Rice: Who are the mysterious, un-named "obsessed fellow travelers" that reportedly influenced Mike Murphy, an experienced Deputy Attorney General prosecutor, to set free self-confessed Mafia hit man Jimmy Hughes? Why didn't Rice provide the names in his article of these people that allegedly undermined the prosecutor's confidence?
I personally don't know their names, and I've never spoken to Mike Murphy, but I do know that is not why the Jimmy Hughes case was dropped.
Draw your own conclusions: Listed below are the public confessions of Jimmy Hughes (hit-man) who was arrested in 2009 and held in jail for nine months before he was released by the California Deputy Attorney General due to "lack of confidence," etc. in 2010. (These are independent of the "witnesses" who agreed to testify against him in court). Maybe Jimmy Hughes is a conspiracy theorist too!
Go to Google and type: "NBC Los Angeles, Victims Daughter Decries Dismissal of Murder Charges" where you will see and hear a young Jimmy Hughes confessing (in 1985) his knowledge/involvement in the triple murders. NBCLA reporter Patrick Healy reports in this clip that Hughes was "given immunity from prosecution" at that time by the California Attorney General. http://www.nbclosangeles.com/station/as-...geles.html
Go to Google and type: robinsax.com/rachelbegley. Then click on the picture of Rachel Begley with the caption "Daughter Seeks Justice for her father ---" You will read Jimmy Hughes' shocking confession at his own website. http://www.robinsax.com/rachelbegley.html

Pages 425 - 428 provide "another" Jimmy Hughes full confession to a newspaper reporter in El Salvador entitled, "Jimmy Hughes - From CIA operative to mafia hitman to evangelical pastor," by Jessica Figeroa.
