The State - News from March 3, 1985

The murder conviction of Barry Braeseke, 29, whose televised admission that he killed his parents and grandfather was shown nationwide on “60 Minutes,” has been upheld by a state appeals court in San Francisco. The bodies of Floyd Braeseke, 42; Barbara Braeseke, 41, and John Braeseke, 80, were found in August, 1976, at the family home in the Alameda County community of Dublin. The defendant’s first conviction was overturned when the state Supreme Court ruled that a confession made to police was illegally obtained. The subsequently televised admission, during which Braeseke said he killed his relatives while under the influence of the drug PCP, was introduced in his second trial.
