David Berkowitz, the "Son of Sam" serial killer, says he is saddened by the upcoming release of Spike Lee's movie based on the convicted killer's 1977 murder spree. "This madness, the ugliness of the past, is resurfacing again -- all because some people want to make some money," Berkowitz said in a tearful prison interview with The New York Times published Sunday. Berkowitz, 46, said he is now a born-again Christian. "I pray for Spike Lee and his family, his wife Tonya, his two children Jackson and Satchel," he said. "God does not want me to be angry with anybody."
