Quel dommage.


What a hideous person.

Yes. From all accounts he was a horrendous, evil person. It scares me people are capable of such evil. For some reason I can't post the news article.

I thought it was odd to, but just quoted what the news said.

I can't say I'm sad. I vividly remember being about 6 or 7 years old and living in the area he committed his gruesome crimes in and being deathly afraid of him. I would go to sleep covering my eyes because I was terrified he'd come and try to rip my eyes out. Ugh.

I hope he suffered at the end. Sick SOB.

Does anyone know why he was never executed? It seems like there are a lot of people on death row there, and not many actually get executed. I don't know much about California and the death penalty.

There have been at least two major moratoriums on the death penalty in California, one in the 70s and one that is in place now. The appeals process and judicial review of death sentences afforded to death row inmates arehorrendously backlogged and have been since the death penalty was reinstated in 1978.
