Richard La Force a 19 year old honor student from 10803 La Reina Ave was arraigned in Los Angeles on two counts of attempting to poison his best friend for the wife of his intended victim. He was granted a postponement until Thursday to enter his plea as attorney Syri McDonald seeks time to study the grand jury transcript. The defendant, praised as a near genius by his Caltech professors, allegedly poisoned the food of Robert Baydee 19 and Hayden’s wife Joyce 15 in a case driven by alleged love.
