Parole hearing for infamous 'Onion Field' killer

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Gregory Powell, the gunman in the infamous "Onion Field" police killing, is up for parole today.  He is 75 years old.

Powell was convicted of the March 1963 kidnapping and execution of LAPD Officer Ian Campbell, famously documented in Joseph Wambaugh's best-seller "The Onion Field."  He had originally received the death penalty for the crime, but the sentence was later commuted to life in prison with the possibility of parole during a brief time when the state outlawed capital punishment.

The Los Angeles Police Department, District Attorney Steve Cooley, and other law enforcement officials and organizations insist that Powell should stay behind bars.
