Robert talks with Ted Rohrlich, a reporter with the Los Angeles Times, about homicide in Los Angeles County. About half the homicides in the county go unprosecuted. According to Rohrlich, police are overwhelmed with the caseload. Rohrlich also says the nature of homicides in Los Angeles have changed since the 1970's...with more murders being committed by strangers than by family members and acquaintances. Rohrlich is writing a series on Los Angeles County crime for the Los Angeles Times.
