This article is not the story of Pratts arrest, conviction, jail time etc. Only those events where Hanlon was directly involved should be present in the article. These items appear to be about Pratt and not about Hanlon:
- In 1968, Caroline Olsen was murdered by two black men on a Santa Monica tennis court.[1] The Los Angeles Police Department had no leads until late 1970 when former Black Panther Julio Butler wrote to the LAPD that Elmer "Geronimo" Pratt had bragged to him about the tennis court killing. Pratt said that he was innocent, because the FBI had him under surveillance in Oakland when the slaying was committed in Santa Monica.[2] In 1972, the court convicted Pratt of first-degree murder.
- Over the next 25 years, Pratt was turned down for parole 16 times and every appeal for a reversal of the guilty verdict was denied.[3]-- — Keithbob • Talk • 18:04, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
