| 释义 |
On Christmas Eve 1985, David Lewis Rice (born 1958), a follower of a right-wing extremist magazine and group the Duck Club, gained entry to the Seattle home of civil litigation[1][2] attorney Charles Goldmark using a toy gun and pretending to be a deliveryman.[3] He tied the family up; Charles, wife Annie, and their two children, 12-year-old Derek and 10-year-old Colin and chloroformed them into unconsciousness, beat them with a steam iron, and stabbed them.[3] Rice mistakenly believed the family to be Jewish and Communist.[3] At trial, Rice argued he was not responsible for the crime because he was insane at the time.[4] Rice was convicted in 1986 of aggravated murder for the four deaths and was sentenced to death.[5] The conviction was later overturned on the grounds of an incompetent defense.[2][6] Rice repeatedly displayed psychotic symptoms throughout his trial, but his attorney failed to emphasize them in his defense.{{fact|date=November 2018}} In 1998, he pleaded guilty to the crimes[7] in exchange for avoiding the death penalty. He remains in prison serving out a life sentence. The Goldmark Murders remain one of the most notorious anti-Semitic hate crimes as well as politically motivated killings in recent memory in the United States, even though the victims were not actually Jewish and Communist as the killer mistakenly believed. It also remains a cause célèbre of capital punishment proponents, since Rice avoided death based only on the ineptitude of his attorney's work at trial. Rice is currently incarcerated in Washington State Penitentiary. Charles Goldmark's brother is former Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands and head of the Washington Department of Natural Resources Peter J. Goldmark. Rice was interviewed for the 1987 PBS documentary, Faces of the Enemy.[8] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Rule|first=Ann|title=You Belong To Me|year=1994|publisher=POCKET BOOKS division of Simon and Schuster Inc|location=New York, NY|isbn=0-671-79354-3|pages=296}} 2. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&File_Id=3577 | title=Right-wing extremist David Lewis Rice murders Charles Goldmark and his family in Seattle on December 24, 1985 | publisher=HistoryLink | date=September 19, 2001 | accessdate=May 9, 2015 | author=Wilma, David}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/07/22/us/death-sentence-in-4-killings.html|title=Death Sentence in 4 Killings|date=July 22, 1986|work=The New York Times|agency=UPI|accessdate=May 9, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://cases.justia.com/us-court-of-appeals/F3/44/1396/513107/|title=Rice v.
