David Berkowitz, the man known as the Son of Sam, wanted to stop Hugo Harmatz from publishing the letters as the so-called Son of Sam Law forbids Mr. Berkowitz from profiting from his crime. David Berkowitz, the man known as the Son of Sam, whose murder spree terrorized New York City during the long hot summer of 1977, appeared in court yesterday. ' The ''Son of Sam'' was back in court not because of some new development in his case, but because he was fighting for the right to own his image. Mr. Berkowitz's lawyer said that he has become a jailhouse minister, counseling inmates and people around the world, who know him not as Son of Sam but as Son of Hope. The so-called Son of Sam Law forbids Mr. Berkowitz from profiting from his crime, but Mr. Harmatz said that did not prevent him from publishing the letters.
