Background profile on defense lawyer John Salsberg who is representing Philip Markoff in his defense against the charge of murdering Julissa Brisman

New developments in the case :-
Investigators have made a preliminary match between the semiautomatic gun found in Philip Markoff's apartment and the weapon used to kill Julissa Brisman at the Copley Marriott April 14, multiple law enforcement officials said yesterday, a potentially damaging development in the case against the 23-year-old defendant, who has been placed on suicide watch at the Nashua Street Jail.

Officials also told the Globe that fingerprints found on the plastic restraints and duct tape left at a crime scene matched Markoff's fingerprints.

I don't think the police or anyone else involved with this case should go running to the media every single time some new 'discovery' of evidence takes place. When the DA and police do things like this, it tells me the are trying to prejudice the public in a frenzy of pre-trial publicity AND they are really concerned about the admissability of the evidence or they wouldn't be doing this. The DA and cops always want to make it look like they are doing their jobs (for a change) and trying to get their names in the paper, but remember, you aren't dealing with the brightest bulbs in the package when the DA and police talk about anything, so to the public, BE WARY and keep an open mind. This young man hasn't been convicted of anything.

Ted Bundy
Theodore Robert Bundy, born Theodore Robert Cowell (November 24, 1946 – January 24, 1989), known as Ted Bundy, was an American serial killer who murdered numerous young women between 1974 and 1978. He twice escaped from prison before his final apprehension in February 1978. After more than a decade of vigorous denials, he eventually confessed to 30 murders, although the actual total of victims remains unknown. Estimates range from 29 to over 100, the general estimate being 35. Typically, Bundy would bludgeon his victims, then strangle them to death. He also engaged in rape and necrophilia.

Robert E. Chambers, Jr.
(born September 25, 1966), nicknamed the "Preppie Killer", is an American who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of 18-year-old Jennifer Levin. He killed her in New York's Central Park during the early morning hours of August 26, 1986.

Follow the case, follow the evidence, follow the defense, follow the prosecution, and follow the looks!

It will be interesting to see how Dominick Dunne views the Markoff case!

He is presently away from contributing to Vanity Fare quote:-

No no no! I have just been away on an extended medical treatment. I will shortly be back in the magazine reflecting on the finality of the Phil Spector trial, and writing an article on my experience in a clinic in Bavaria, Germany where I was treated for cancer. I also used the time to finish another book, titled "A Solo Act." Stay tuned!
