Sean Penn recalls a near-attack moment with the Night Stalker behind jail bars
Sean Penn said in a VICE News interview that during a 34-day stay in Los Angeles County Jail in his mid-20s (and while married to Madonna) he was face-to-face near serial killer Richard Ramirez and briefly considered ‘flattening’ him, before restraining himself; Ramirez sat just feet away behind a glass divider during a phone call, and later asked for Penn’s autograph via a deputy, an anecdote Penn has discussed publicly in the past.
