Confessed killer goes to court

Ralph "Bucky" Phillips, an escaped convict who became the target of

the largest manhunt in New York State history, during which he shot

three state policemen, killing one, is seen being led to Chemung

County Court in Elmira. In a series of court appearances in several

jurisdictions, Phillips pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including

the murder of the officer.

There is a fascination, that I must say I share, with photos of people who have done heinous things. I think that must be a way to try to figure them out. Here, you captured the scene very well, and I'm intrigued with his grin. He seems to be enjoying the attention.
