New York club kid turned journalist/ author James Saint James appeared in the Sunday Times this week discussing the circumstances behind club promoter Michael Alig's killing of Angel Melendez and denied that drugs had been a factor in the death.

Many people believe that it was the drugs that caused Michael to kill Angel. I disagree, " said James.

"If he had just tried crack and heroin and special K (ketamine) for the first time and -whoops- gone on a murderous rampage, that would have been one thing.

I believe that the drugs were the total reason Michael killed Angel," said Larry.

"James was one of the few of Michael's friends that hung out with him even after he confessed," he continued.

"If James thought Michael was a cold blooded killer, what does that say about James-"
