Former St. Louis radio host Leonardo Drisdel (pictured) was found guiilty of first-degree murder for "beating, biting and smothering" 28-year-old Cassandra Kovack to death in 2005. Drisdel hosted a weekly radio show called "The Human Factor" on WGNU in St. Louis. Kovack died June 4, 2005, after she had invited Drisdel home and cooked him a pasta meal. Apparently there were drugs involved in the visit as well, according to news reports on the trial. Jurors took 45 minutes to convict Drisdel.
