The Longbow Papers

It has been almost two months since my friend Bill Wasz passed from this life. For his memory's sake, I am posting a few pictures that were taken during the months after his release from prison and before he died.

The first picture is Bill with the actor Jon Voight, and a quite inebriated fellow whom I do not know.

The next picture is one taken by Bill at an event earlier that same night. Again, Jon Voight is the only person I know by name.



The picture below is from Bill's website; Larry Longo, Bill's attorney and one of the dearest friends I have, is third from the right, then there is that guy whom I do not know, and Bill, of course, is in the foreground. Larry has been a member of a non-outlaw bikers club for years.



I know that there are a number of people who are curious about the details of Bill's death. For the sake of his family, I can only say--with great relief--that Bill was not murdered.

Now, there will be a few folks out there who will not accept this piece of good non-news. Of course, these are the same people who are currently writing on the Internet that I did not stupidly dive into the shallow end of the swimming pool of the home Joe McGinniss rented in Beverly Hills during the last months of the O.J. criminal trial and break my neck. No, these folks are saying that I was thrown head-first into an empty pool in either an attempt to murder me, or as a "warning" to intimidate my reporting on the case.

These are the same people who are writing on the Internet that Larry Longo and I are involved in Bill's "murder" or its supposed cover-up. These are the same people who are writing that Larry Longo and I are "liars" and "criminals" of the most dastardly kind, guilty of any number of crimes. They believe that Larry and I are withholding evidence they need to protect their lives from the "real killers" of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson because they, amateur sleuths who were not involved in the case when it happened, have "solved" the murders via Internet bulletin boards. A regular person would have legal recourse against such outrageous accusations; however, as "public figures" Larry and I cannot successfully avail ourselves of the libel and slander laws.

But, what the hell, I have always been of the persuasion that if you make your living in the public eye, everything said or printed about you is good as long as your name is spelled correctly. So far, they at least have gotten that right.
