Any Los Angeles criminal defense attorney would agree that the violence at Altamont got out of hand. Three accidental deaths occurred, in addition to the stabbing of Meredith Hunter by Hells Angel Alan Passaro. In 2003 a new investigation was made into the possibility that another Hells Angel took part in the stabbing, but insufficient evidence was found to support the charges.
