The very name 'Manson' has become a metaphor for evil... He has come to represent the dark and malignant side of humanity, and for whatever reason, there is a side of human nature that is fascinated with ultimate evil.

I was a prosecutor and an FBI agent for many, many years.

I'm Dan Gelber. As a federal prosecutor, I helped put away corporate criminals, corrupt politicians and violent gangs.

From Jesse James to Charles Manson, the media, since their inception, have turned criminals into folk heroes.

I will either be famous or infamous.

I probably have become more infamous from two misdemeanors than probably anyone I could think of.

I couldn't become a policeman, so being county prosecutor is the next best thing.

I think I'll always be famous. I just hope I don't become infamous.

There are probably more internet hate sites about me than Charles Manson.

My position is that of detective, confessor, vaudevillian, advocate. And devil's advocate.
