David Berkowitz killed some men but mostly women. Between July 1976 and August 1977 Berkowitz murdered 6 people and injured 7 others. Berkowitz was adopted and began his killing spree after his mother's death. Sam Carr Berkowitz's neighbor had a dog which Berkowitz claimed was possessed by demons that commanded him to kill. Berkowitz was caught leaving a murder scene when a witness noticed a traffic ticket on his windshield, and told police. When the car was stopped and inspected police officers found an arsenal of weapons. Although David Berkowitz claimed to be commanded by a dog to kill, he was found fit to stand trial. Guilty of 6 counts of murder, he is serving his 300 year sentence in New York. In prison he has claimed to have found god.
