An Inglewood man on trial for one count of murder and 48 counts of attempted murder testified that he mowed down pedestrians on a crowded Westwood sidewalk with his car last July 27 because he was angry. In his second day of Santa Monica Superior Court testimony, Daniel Lee Young, 21, said he was angry because people were stealing songs he had written and because police would not give him back a handgun they had taken from his mother. “But I got back. I got back. Ha ha! Fooled you, didn’t I?” he said. Young, who was unemployed and on probation from a 1983 burglary conviction at the time of the Westwood incident, said he chose the area because it was crowded.
