Recently commercials for Elle Falahat, who is running for District Attorney for Contra Costa County, show on cable TV. Mark Klass appears and supports Falahat as a member of the prosecution team of Richard Allen Davis, murderer of his daughter, Polly. I still have questions about this prosecution, although Davis is where he belongs on Death Row. I suspect that others should be there with him and the prosecution settles for the traditional, “Lone nut gunman.” In his 1995 book, WHO KILLED POLLY?, Frank Spiering reports that on the night of Polly's kidnapping there is another man talking to Davis on her back porch. Davis confesses to the crime and does not implicate anyone else. Some question why he takes the rap by himself. This may have been a prison gang operation where no snitching rules apply and if the prosecution decides that one person is taking the rap and offers no deal to Davis, he admits to another crime, conspiracy, by volunteering this information.
Spiering also discusses a possible motive for this and other kidnappings of young girls. Some are made sex slaves and sent to Saudi Arabia, where young, white virgins are in demand. In 2008 Liam Neeson makes a film, TAKEN, which tells the story of a former intelligence operative whose daughter and friend are the victims of such a kidnapping. Neeson's character finds the friend dead of an overdose. It happens that she is not a virgin and the kidnappers can not sell her. The daughter maintains her virtue and is sold to a wealthy Saudi. As in many movies, Neeson arrives in the nick of time to kill the rich Saudi and rescue his daughter after shooting up Paris. A thoroughly entertaining film. I suspect that Polly may be cast as the friend, not a virgin and not of use to the kidnappers.
The Forces of Darkness use the Polly Klass murder and conviction of Richard Allen Davis as a manipulation to help pass the, “Three Strikes Law.” Contra Costa County voters must carefully think about Elle Falahat and the depths to which she sinks in order to satisfy her ambition.
