Families seek escrow for Gacy book profits

Kenneth Prest and Harold Piest lead a legal bid to keep any profits from works about John Wayne Gacy in escrow to benefit victims' families. The suit targets Gacy, his lawyers, a Houston writer and agents, arguing only the public should profit from the macabre case. A court hearing was set as Illinois law already requires escrow of felon profits.
