2nd Murder Trial in ‘Billionaire Boys’ Case
Courtroom adversaries Joe Hunt and Dean Karny--former leaders of the Billionaire Boys Club--faced off Wednesday as Hunt defended himself in his second murder trial.
Hunt, convicted five years ago Wednesday of killing a Los Angeles con man, is defending himself against a charge that he killed Hedayat Eslaminia, 56, a wealthy former adviser to the Shah of Iran.
