Heading: Other Violent Acts by Defendant

Text: 1. During 1988-1989, shortly before the March 1990 murder of Paul Bailly, Daniel Kavalsky worked with defendant at the Fallbrook Theater in the San Fernando Valley. He and defendant disliked each other. On one occasion defendant came up to Kavalsky and started choking him. Another person pulled defendant off Kavalsky. 2. In 1984, when Brian Due was about five or six years old, defendant, who was then 16 or 17 years old, approached Brian with one hand in a glove. Defendant said the glove had a mind of its own and defendant could not control it. Defendant then choked Brian with the glove, but released him when he cried. 3. During the summers of 1988 and 1989, Darren Goodman and defendant were counselors at the Griffith Park Boys Camp. Once, when Goodman was a referee at a hockey game, he penalized defendant for holding his hockey stick too high, an act that endangers other players. Defendant responded by striking Goodman in the shins with the hockey stick. 4. Brian Francis was 12 years old when he attended the Griffith Park Boys Camp during the summer of 1988. On one occasion a basketball accidentally hit defendant. When Brian laughed, defendant became angry and threw the ball at Brian as hard as he could. Defendant then chased Brian and tried to pull him into a cabin. When Brian resisted, defendant pulled Brian into the camp office. One of the camp directors observed the incident and fired defendant.
