Kitty Genovese (July 7, 1935 - March 13, 1964) was a New York City resident attacked and stabbed to death outside her apartment building on the night of March 13, 1964. Her attacker, Winston Moseley, sexually assaulted her as she was dying. The incident is recounted by Walter Kovacs (Rorschach) to Doctor Malcolm Long, with deep contempt for the residents who lived near the murder site. Kovacs also recounts that some of the neighbors even watched the attack as it happened.
