Not sure if an infamous murder case benefits from the marionette approach, but it's certainly unique.

It's a little creepy to realize that I lived in Stockton, CA during the late 1970's, the same time as Winnie. Stockton, at the time, was not a large city. But there were no murders with dismemberments at the time, so I guess it wasn't that dangerous.

Sounds like she took the blame for the boyfriend's deeds.
