LOS ANGELES TIMES, Sept. 7, 1985 

* Richard Ramirez murders - killings
* The "Night Stalker" valley intruder
* re. arraignment - best title to be had 

This issue has reporting on the "Night Stalker" murder case of Richard Ramirez with a front page of section II heading: "Ramirez Defense: Publicity Effect Cited" Ramirez was captured just 7 days prior. Great to have this report in a Los Angeles newspaper, the city which he terrorized for over a year. 
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete 1st three sections only with a total of 64, nice condition. 

Background: The September 7, 1985 edition of the Los Angeles Times is a historically significant issue primarily defined by Robert W. Stewart’s coverage of Richard Ramirez’s legal defense, which focused on the defense's early strategy to argue that pervasive global media coverage and high-profile political press conferences had thoroughly poisoned the local jury pool in Los Angeles County. Published exactly one week after Ramirez's dramatic capture on August 31 by a crowd in East L.A. following his public identification, this issue captures a pivotal transition point as Southern California shifted from widespread panic to a high-stakes, media-saturated legal battle. Beyond the legal maneuvering of the Night Stalker case, this issue provides a rich snapshot of late-1985 news, featuring front-page political reporting on the Reagan administration's cold-war foreign policy maneuvers, ongoing national debates over tax reform, and local coverage detailing the aftermath of Southern California's summer crime wave.
