That's great news - and from his record the guy was one bad man, w/a juvenile conviction for a rape/murder in Germany and an underage rape conviction in Palo Alto in 1975. I wonder if that caused them to investigate him at the time for the Perlov killing, though, so many years before any DNA analysis (let alone good analysis) I'm not sure what they could have found. 

One odd thing about the story, though: 

"Perlov was a Stanford grad and soon-to-be Princeton University law student on Feb. 13, 1973...
