Re: Kitty Genovese revisited Allen Esterson Wed, 03 Mar 2004 09:51:31 -0800 By strange coincidence I've had a synchronistic visitation. Michael Sylvester's posting on Kitty Genovese came but a couple of days after a friend of mine sent me an e-mail about the same subject. (He had discussed the incident with me a couple of weeks back in relation to a psychological topic he is engaged in writing about.)Anyway, it turns out that there's a website that challenges some of the supposed facts about the incident: "What you think you know about the Kitty Genovese case might not be true." http://www.oldkewgardens.com/ I hope some TIPSters (yes, you Stephen!) will visit the site and give us your views. I know very little about the incident, and would be interested to know what people think about the points made there.
