Con man or crackpot? A jury will have to decide whether a man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller was legally insane when he ran off with his 7-year-old daughter during a supervised visit or whether he is a consummate schemer who used aliases to insinuate himself into highbrow circles in Boston, New York and Los Angeles, culminating in a well-orchestrated kidnapping. His trial is set to begin Tuesday in Suffolk Superior Court. Rockefeller's real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter. In July... Read Full Story

Lawyers for the man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller are asking a Boston judge to throw out his kidnapping and assault convictions. The defense is challenging the credibility of the state's mental health expert.

Rockefeller is a German man whose real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter (GAYR'-hahrtz-ry-tur). He was convicted earlier this month in the... Read Full Story
A Boston court on Monday refused a request to relocate the upcoming kidnapping trial of a German man who posed as a member of the illustrious Rockefeller family, his lawyer said. "The change of venue was denied," said Jeffrey Denner, attorney for the defendant in the bizarre case, after a pre-trial hearing.
