A defense counsel pleaded for mercy in a Los Angeles proceeding before being seized minutes later at the Federal Building across the street. The trial transcript shows damning testimony delivered as the defendant remained largely calm, with rare vehemence from his attorney. Terry, born October 10, 1926 in Tulsa, served in the U.S. Merchant Marine from 1945 to 1947, worked as a Los Angeles salesman after 1953, and was convicted in 1959 on two counts of child molesting and one of sodomy. A psychiatrist labeled him a sex psychopath and he was committed to Atascadero State Hospital for observation, with May 18, 1953, notes citing a personality disturbance.
