Quotes by Catherine Pelonero (?)

“Elizabeth Moseley took the stand. She described her husband as a man who was always quiet and always thinking. She spoke of his meticulous neatness and his extreme shyness. He never undressed in front of her. Asked about their sexual relations, she said, “Well, at first it was normal or what you consider normal. Then later it was more what they describe as cunnilingus.” She said he needed it as a stimulus before intercourse.”
― Catherine Pelonero, Kitty Genovese: A True Account of a Public Murder and Its Private Consequences
