Anyone remember this story? I wasn't around when the Kitty Genovese story happened but by the time I was in college we studied the bystander effect in Crim J classes. Now I learned that much of the story of her murder was fabricated.

I was listening to a news segment about it today. At the time it became a huge deal, and led to the invention of 911, and a couple other things. He was a bad dude tho. A nut. It also said that this case and its effects were studied in public schools for years, even after they found much of the data erroneous.

This is a lesson for @Finshaggy . Fin, sometimes something is so obvious that multiple people come up with it at the same time.
