Double slayer plea denied in Los Angeles murder case
California Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal of former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Jack Kirschke who was convicted in 1967 of two counts of first degree murder for the killings of his wife Elaine and Orville Crankhan in Long Beach. The decision left intact a trial record centered on testimony by criminalist De Wayne Wolfer that bullets matched Kirschke's gun.
