Their visit had a sobering effect on Jesse, and he and [Jesse's girlfriend] Patti decided to leave soon afterward, taking their silent friend with them; I walked them to their car. As I stood on the street I heard John scream, "I hate Roman Polanski. He's no fuckin' good!" His voice was filled with equal parts of anger and anguish. He sounded just as he had on the night Spector had tied him up.

"It's Roman Polanski's fault!" he screamed. "Roman Polansk is to blame for everything." We had met Roman Polanski at a few parties, but John had never expressed any anger towards him. I watched as he systematically began to demolish the room.

I don't want that Jew bastard in my house! I'll kill him if he comes through the door!" Mintz was outside at the time; he heard John's scream and drove back to his house.

Later, some of the Beatles fans met at a nearby bar -- as did May and Mintz. May demanded, "Why do you say those things about me, Elliot? You know it's all true!" Mintz responded with, "Yes, but you know Yoko doesn't want you talking about it."

When he learned that she had died, he was consumed with guilt at his failure to go to her place and obtain help for her. This was a likely factor in Lawford's own long, slow downward spiral.
