Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown, who in 1977 was the supervising Brooklyn judge in the arraignment of the "Son of Sam" serial killer David Berkowitz, shows a court document assessment of "low risk" for Berkowitz, during an interview in his office, Wednesday Aug. 9, 2017, in New York.  Brown recalls that when  Berkowitz first walked into a Brooklyn courtroom 40 years ago, it was dead silent but for the wail of a victim’s mother.  It was first time anyone really got a glimpse of the man who had been accused of terrorizing New York City for a whole year with late-night shootings.  (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)
