Authorities say a long-haul trucker suspected in a 1981 Southern California murder case has been returned to Los Angeles from Ohio.

Sheriff's Capt. Michael Parker said Sunday that 55-year-old Christopher David Winter was arrested Nov. 6 while on a truck route in Tipp City, Ohio.

Authorities brought him to Los Angeles last week, and he is being held without bail at Men's Central Jail.

Winter is set for arraignment Monday on charges including one count of residential burglary and one count of murder. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. He is suspected in the killing of 50-year-old Joseph Azevedo, who was found shot to death in his mobile home in Lancaster.

He’ll never get the death penalty in California.

California has been executing more people in recent years. 13 people since 1992. 6 since 2000. But none since 2006.

They still have not put to death the Night Stalker, Richard Ramirez. Did they just quit executions? They have to be seriously backlogged.

They denied his last request for an appeal in 2006. They are probably delayed by processing all the requests for marriage by his female fans.

A Clinton-appointed judge, Jeremy Fogel, stopped executions in CA because he didn't like the way we handled lethal injections. That was years ago. After four years and construction of a new death chamber that met his demands, there was going to be an execution a few months ago but our supply of lethal drugs was set to expire. We could not obtain supply in the U.S.

The ACLU claims that the supply eventually obtained from the UK could not be used without FDA approval and the FDA said they don't approve drugs used for lethal injection. That's about where we site today.

That delayed execution (Albert Brown Jr., now age 56) has been pushed to sometime (hopefully?) this year while his lawyers find new and novel ways to argue over "cruel and unusual punishment," the ACLU stirs trouble and the domestic drug maker supposedly starts production again.

Brown is the convicted molester (11 yo girl), rapist (14 yo girl) and rapist-murderer (15 yo girl) has been rotting on death row since 1982!

CA has over 700 sitting on death row and Brown hasn't even been there the longest.

Whatever happened to the "Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied" rallying cry?
