Which actor stars as Harvey Milk in the 2008 film 'Milk'?

I worked in the ER that day at Mission Emergency when they brought in Harvey Milk and Mayor Moscone. It's hard to forget.

Dan White successfully used, what is now known as the "Twinkie Defence". He said that he was bingeing on junk food and sweets the week before the murders and that's what drove him to do the crimes. He only received a sentence of 8 years for manslaughter. After he was released from prison he committed suicide. released from prison
