Geza de Kaplany was a Hungarianborn physician who emigrated to the United States in the late 1950s. In 1963, he was convicted of firstdegree murder in California after mutilating his wife with a scalpel and corrosive strong acids, thus causing her death.
De Kaplany was born and raised in Hungary, in a wealthy family. He lost the sight in an eye during a beating by his father, who died in 1938. He studied medicine at the University of Szeged and graduated with honors in 1951. He went into practice in Budapest as a cardiologist, but clashed with officials in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, fleeing after it failed. He visited England and Denmark, writing a book called Doctor in Revolt about his alleged experiences as a freedom fighter in Hungary.
