SANTA ANA (CNS) - The Golden State Killer, who sat stoically through three days of victim impact statements, apologized to his victims Friday before a judge handed down 11 consecutive life-without-parole prison sentences for a string of rapes and murders the former police officer committed from the Sacramento area to Orange and Ventura counties in the 1970s and '80s.Before Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Michael Bowman tacked on an additional life term and eight years in prison, 74-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. stood up from his wheelchair and turned to his victims, saying, "I've listened to all of your statements, each one of them, and I am truly sorry."After the hearing, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer called the apology a "sham.""Mr. DeAngelo tried to pull a fast one on all of us," Spitzer said. "Who did he leave out? The people who say they love him. He didn't just destroy your lives. Can you imagine being the daughter of Joseph DeAngelo going through life asking yourself if he passed on his genetic framework? ... The same for his former wife, the betrayal to their marriage. ... It was a sham. It was not remorseful. He failed to apologize to important people."Bowman said he accepted the plea bargain for the defendant, who had been facing the death penalty, because Gov. Gavin Newsom has put a moratorium on capital punishment in the state. The judge said the deal spared victims' survivors the "unimaginable emotions by sitting through such a trial," and "finally, taxpayers save tens of millions of dollars."Bowman added he was "not saying Mr. DeAngelo does not deserve to have the death penalty imposed," but, "it will never come to pass."Spitzer, in a statement before sentencing, said when he got elected, he made it a priority to seek the ultimate punishment for DeAngelo.He said he had hoped to see the killer strapped to a gurney for a lethal injection, "and watch you silently slip into the night... never again to take away anyone's dreams you ruined or the nightmares you created. ... You made it personal, and it was personal for me. I believe this person -- not even a person, this beast -- deserved the ultimate punishment of death."But Spitzer said given "the age of this case" and the problems posed to prosecutors in mounting a trial, "this was the right thing to do so we could all be here today."Ventura County District Attorney Greg Totten said it was a "case about light and darkness." He said the victim impact statements that began Tuesday "shined a very bright light on the magnitude of the crimes before this court and painted a picture of the immense impact these horrific crimes had on their lives," but they also "brought to light their loved ones in doing so."DeAngelo, he said, represented the "darkness," noting that he had a habit during his crimes of covering ambient light like TVs.After the sentencing hearing, Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert showed reporters recent video clips of DeAngelo in his cell, contradicting what she called a courtroom act trying to portray the defendant as a "feeble old man." The clips showed DeAngelo at one point climbing up on a desk so he could use paper to cover some of the lights in his cell. One clip showed him exercising.Schubert said investigators may never know whether DeAngelo stopped his crime spree in the 1980s or if there are more victims out there. But, she noted, a fellow prosecutor reminded her that the advent of DNA technology in forensics date back to 1986, so it may have been a deterrent to the defendant, who is a former police officer."The question needs to be posed to Mr. DeAngelo," Schubert said.DeAngelo's attorneys read statements from a few of those who knew him, in an effort to show another side of the defendant. One childhood friend recalled how DeAngelo was like a sixth brother who often spent time at his home on an Air Force base and kept in touch throughout the years even after he joined the military, became a police officer and later got married.A niece wrote a note extending the "deepest sympathy" to the victims, but saying she had trouble understanding how her loving uncle could inflict such cruelty."I do not know the person known as the Golden State Killer," the niece wrote. "I know him as my Uncle Joe, who I love dearly. He was always my hero. ... I always felt my uncle loved me and still does. ... I feel like there's someone else in him I don't know."Finding out he was a serial killer was crushing news for her and her mother, she said."I no longer have trust in anyone," the niece said. "I can't wrap my head around the fact someone so loving and caring could do such things."The frail-looking defendant, seated in a wheelchair, faced survivors and relatives of his murder victims from Orange County and elsewhere in California over three days of statements that began with some of the many victims he raped when he was known as the Visalia Ransacker and then later as the East Area Rapist and original Night Stalker.DeAngelo pleaded guilty June 29 to 13 counts of first-degree murder and murder during the commission of rape, robbery and burglary, 13 counts of kidnapping to commit robbery with sentencing enhancements for the use of a gun and a knife.He also admitted to committing crimes for which he could no longer be prosecuted because of a statute of limitations -- such as attempted murder, kidnapping to commit robbery, rape, robbery, first-degree burglary, false imprisonment and criminal threats.The Orange County murders to which he admitted were the killings of 24- year-old Keith and 28-year-old Patrice Harrington on Aug. 19, 1980, in Dana Point; 28-year-old Manuela Witthuhn in Irvine in February 1981; and 18-year-old Janelle Cruz in Irvine in May 1986.The Harringtons, who lived in a single-story home in the gated Niguel Shores community, were attacked in their bedroom, according to Investigator Larry Pool of the Golden State Killer task force. Their bodies were found on their blood-spattered bed with ligature marks on their wrists and Patrice's ankles."The Golden State Killer is truly the worst of the worst," said Harrington's brother, Ron. "Thirteen murders, 60 rapes. The most prolific murderer-rapist ever. His crimes were so brutal, so heinous, so sadistic. He is just a violent sexual predator. Pure evil."Ron Harrington was critical of Newsom for putting a moratorium on executions. But he was philosophical about the plea deal, conceding the difficulties of holding a preliminary hearing that would have taken four months with many witnesses and victims now dead and a trial that would have taken 18 months."And we had COVID-19," Harrington said.Witthuhn was attacked sometime between 11 p.m. on Feb. 5, 1981, and 2 a.m. the following morning. The cause of death was skull fractures from a beating, Pool said, adding that her parents discovered her body in a sleeping bag when they went to check on her. There was no evidence of a struggle and she had ligature marks on her wrists and on her right ankle.Her husband, David, had been admitted to an area hospital due to a stomach virus, so she was alone for the night.Witthuhn's brother-in-law, Drew, said his brother "had to live for years under scrutiny" until DNA investigators ruled him out as a suspect in 2001."We'll never really know what kind of a toll it took on him," Drew Witthuhn said.Cruz was killed about 5 p.m. May 5, 1986, in her bed in her Irvine home. Blood covered her head and neck and she was partially covered by her blanket. She had hemorrhaging in her eyes and bruises on the bridge of her nose, according to Pool, who said the killer knocked out three of her teeth -- with two found in her hair.An ultraviolet light spotlighted semen on the victim, according to Pool, who said the cause of death was "crushing skull fractures." No murder weapon was found, but a pipe wrench was missing from the backyard.Various prosecutors from across the state read detailed descriptions of DeAngelo's crimes, starting with the murder of 45-year-old Claude Snelling on Sept. 11, 1975, in Visalia. DeAngelo shot and killed Snelling as he attempted to rescue his daughter, who the killer was trying to kidnap.Snelling's daughter, Elizabeth Hupp, recounted the terrifying experience when she was 16. She said her father caught him "peering through my window" twice and that he "tried to chase him down, but was unable to catch him."As a ski-masked DeAngelo was dragging the teen out of her home at gunpoint, Snelling heard the commotion and ran to the front door, where he was gunned down, Hupp said.DeAngelo also pleaded guilty to attempting to kill Detective William McGowen on Dec. 10, 1975, as the then-Visalia officer attempted to arrest him for a series of burglaries attributed to the "Visalia Ransacker" from April 1974 through December 1975.McGowen's daughter on Thursday recounted how her father, who died 15 years ago, never gave up on the case but grew hypervigilant in the ensuing years and "never traveled without a gun" and "never let his guard down."DeAngelo admitted to the beating deaths of Goleta residents Debra Manning, 35, and Robert Offerman, 44, on Dec. 30, 1979, in their home in Santa Barbara County, and the beating deaths of Gregory Sanchez, 27, and Cheri Domingo, 35, both of Goleta, on July 27, 1981. DeAngelo also raped Manning and Domingo.DeAngelo also pleaded guilty to bludgeoning to death Charlene and Lyman Smith, both of Ventura, with a fireplace log on March 13, 1980. Lyman Smith, a 43-year-old former deputy district attorney, and his 33-year-old wife were found dead by his 12-year-old son. The killer also raped Charlene Smith and stole some of her jewelry, prosecutors said. 9712
SAN MARCOS, Calif. (KGTV) – A group of San Marcos neighbors say that a homeowner is terrorizing the community with threats and harassment, among other complaints. Neighbors are now banding together to sue him with the hope that he'll pack up and leave. Team 10 investigative reporter Jennifer Kastner discovered that federal agents also seized explosives and ammunition from his house, that he wasn't supposed to have. Homeowner Mark Brody, though, denies all allegations of wrongdoing."You don't have to get along with all your neighbors. You don't have to be friends with all your neighbors, but you also don't have to terrorize them," says neighbor Heidi Hafley.Brody’s home sits behind a prominent security camera and high fences. “[It’s] a fortress,” says James Pyer, one of twelve neighbors who are suing Brody, accusing him in the lawsuit of threats, stalking, trespassing, and so on."This has been a nightmare," adds Hafley. She and Pyer got a restraining order against Brody.Court records show that Brody denies harming the neighborhood, but 10News dug into public records.According to a search warrant from last year, state investigators believed that Brody may have been harboring several weapons, even though he'd been banned from having firearms or ammo because of the restraining order. Agents reportedly found and seized 30 pounds of an explosive called tannerite that had to be turned over to a bomb squad. Additionally, they found four ammunition magazines and two rounds of caliber ammunition.“At one point they put everything in the middle of the street and told us to stand back,” says Hafley.This past May, he pleaded guilty to illegally having ammunition. He was given probation and community service.10News confirmed with the San Marcos Sheriff's Station that deputies have been called out to Brody's home more than 30 times since 2014. One Sheriff's report reveals accusations from neighbors that Brody had been shining a flashlight from his truck into Hafley's bedroom. In another report, neighbors claim he yelled that she was a "[expletive]".“I'm the main target now because I push back and I let him know [that] I'm not going to tolerate this,” she tells us.In fact, Brody tried to get a restraining order against Hafley, but failed.The City of San Marcos confirmed with 10News that there have been a number of code compliance violations issued to Brody.A cease and desist order from the City to Brody includes a photo of an unauthorized traffic control sign that Brody allegedly installed. Neighbors say that he spray painted the street, put in a speed bump and put up notices meant to insult his neighbors. Hafley adds that the signs would state, "'Watch for the cows crossing,’ which he's referencing myself and my neighbor. He would [write], ‘The old bat,” which is my nextdoor neighbor [and he would write], ‘The troll,’ which is me."Brody would not do an interview with 10News. In a court response, he wrote that he categorically denies the allegations and claims to have never acted [violently] towards the neighbors."We don't go out of our houses anymore. Children don't play on the street," says Hafley.She and the eleven others on the new lawsuit against him just want him to move out so they can move on. “I don't want any other neighborhood to go through this," she adds.Each neighbor is asking for at least ,000 in damages. The trial date is scheduled for July. 3414

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- San Francisco supervisors are set to approve new legislation to discourage racist 911 calls that they say expose people of color to dangerous run-ins with police.Supporters say people need to think twice before calling 911 on someone who is barbecuing, jogging or stenciling "Black Lives Matter" at a home.The legislation is called the Caution Against Racial and Exploitative Non-Emergencies Act, also known as the CAREN legislation. The name is a nod to a widespread meme using the name "Karen" to describe a specific type of middle-aged white woman who exhibits behaviors that stem from privilege.Some say they support the legislation, but the name is sexist. 691
SANTA ANA (CNS) - A man accused of setting the Holy Fire that burned 23,000 acres in Orange and Riverside counties, forcing thousands of people from their homes, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to arson and other charges. Forrest Gordon Clark, 51, whose criminal case was briefly suspended in August when his courtroom outbursts led a judge to declare a doubt about his mental competency, is due back in court Dec. 20 for a pretrial hearing. He remains jailed in lieu of million bail.Clark's attorney, Nicole Parness of the Orange County Public Defender's Office, argued that Clark's million bail should be reduced because an arson investigator with the Orange County Fire Authority has theorized that another person might be responsible for setting the blaze.She told reporters the investigator cited Michael Milligan, the fire chief of the volunteer Holy Jim Fire Department and a Clark neighbor, as a potential suspect. Parness told City News Service the analysis was ``very well thought out and logical'' and believes prosecutors ignored the suggestion to keep pursuing Clark as the main suspect.Milligan denied the allegation and told CNS he has fully cooperated with investigators and invited them into his home ``to tear it apart, do what you have to do'' so they can rule him out as a suspect. He said he has met investigators three times and turned over his phone, a GPS device and an iPad to authorities. He said he has offered to submit DNA and fingerprints as well.He conceded he was in the area when the fire erupted, saying he was about a mile away from Clark's cabin at the time.``There were four people in the canyon, and two people were above the fire and couldn't get back in and had to be rescued by helicopter,'' Milligan said.He said he understands law enforcement must investigate everyone who was in the vicinity of the fire's origin.In court, Parness asked Orange County Superior Court Judge Nancy Zeltzer to read the police report and argued that Clark's mental competency should justify a lowering of his bail.Zeltzer, however, kept bail at million, but noted that if further facts emerge about the case warranting reduced bail, Parness could make her request again.Deputy District Attorney Jake Jondle said the investigator's report mentioning Milligan is just an ``alternative theory,'' but there is ``no credible evidence'' to lead prosecutors to consider it seriously.Prosecutors are ``confident'' Clark is the right suspect, he said.Clark has been the focus of investigators because of a ``combination of things,'' such as text messages he sent to neighbors as well as ``threats made'' to others, Jondle said.Clark could face 10 years to life in prison if convicted of aggravated arson damaging at least five inhabited structures, arson of inhabited property, arson of forest and making criminal threats, all felonies, as well as two felony counts of resisting arrest.In August, Orange County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Menninger ordered Clark to undergo a mental evaluation, saying she questioned his competency to assist in his defense. But on Nov. 28, Judge Michael Murray ruled that Clark was competent, and criminal proceedings were restarted.Initially, a defense expert concluded Clark was mentally incompetent, but a prosecution expert ruled otherwise, prompting Murray to appoint a ``tie-breaker'' expert, who concluded Clark was capable of assisting his attorneys in his defense.Parness has been pressing prosecutors to turn over more evidence in the case. She said she has been pushing to obtain text messages allegedly sent by Clark to neighbors, as well as surveillance video footage.On Aug. 6, the day the Holy Fire erupted, Clark allegedly threatened to kill a neighbor about 7:30 a.m., prosecutors said in a previous motion to deny him bail.As the neighbor walked to his truck, Clark allegedly told him that he ``(expletive) with the wrong person,'' according to the motion. ``The defendant stated that he was `crazy' and noted it was `perfect' because he could do anything he wants and get away with it.''Later that day, he allegedly set fire to his neighbor's residence in Holy Jim Canyon. The Holy Fire ultimately also destroyed 13 other residences.Orange County sheriff's investigator Jennifer Hernandez said in an affidavit supporting the motion to deny bail that Clark ``could be heard on video telling (a victim), `Mark my words, you're gonna die at 12:37... I have 100 percent plausible deniability. You're gonna die. I'm gonna murder you.'''Clark allegedly made at least five ``specific threats'' and ``allusions'' to setting fires, according to Hernandez, who said the defendant ``appears to believe in the Sovereign Citizen ideology.''The ideology's supporters ``believe the government does not have the authority to enforce a majority of our laws and taxes,'' Hernandez wrote, adding that not everyone who subscribes to the theory is violent, but law enforcement recognizes it as a ``terrorism threat.''Orange County sheriff's deputies have had multiple encounters with Clark dating back to 2006, according to Carrie Braun, a spokeswoman for the department.Parness said her client is ``doing better'' since prior court appearances when he was prone to verbal outbursts.``He understands what's going on and I think he's doing OK'' now, Parness said.``He's a very nice man, a gentle soul,'' Parness said. ``He's so polite to me.'' 5403
SANTEE, Calif. (KGTV) — Cameras caught a thief wreaking havoc at an East County business park, culminating in several destructive acts after he realized he was locked in.Scott Trafton has seen the video countless times, but his emotions have yet to lessen."Aggravating and makes me angry," said Trafton, who owns XP Builders.Just before midnight last Thursday night, a truck is seen driving into a business park on Wheatlands Court. The truck, believed to be a Chevy Silverado, is parked in the dark for more than four hours, before a man emerges and heads toward Trafton's general contractor business. In the video, the man grabs items from the truck bed, before prying open a toolbox in the back. A knife at this side, the man would get away with more than a thousand dollars with of Trafton's tools. "It hurts being a small business. Every penny counts," said Trafton.Trafton is not the only victim. The thief left behind a trail of shattered truck windows and missing items."Basically took whatever wasn't bolted down," said Trafton.When the man went to leave, he was met by a gate, locked by someone who had left earlier. The camera spies him apparently chaining his truck to the fence and pulling forward, but he can't get the fence down."He then came over to another truck and broke a window. He then took a moving blanket to protect his truck and drove to another fence," said Trafton.In the video, you can see the flash of his lights, before his final act."He ran into the fence, spread it wide open and knocked it over," said Trafton.The repair bill will tally some ,000. Trafton worries about what the thief may do next."He doesn't care about the aftermath, as long as he gets what he wants," said Trafton.Anyone with information is asked to call the Santee sheriff's substation at 619-956-4000. 1818
