Son of Sam asks to be put away over killings
David Berkowitz, the so called Son of Sam, says he is possessed by howling demons and would accept the death penalty if available. In a taped exchange with psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Schwartz at a hospital hearing, he urged being locked away forever to prevent further killings and said he wants the maximum penalty if tried. He is deemed paranoid and unable to assist his defense, with further competency questions pending.
