I was living in CA at that time and I remember this case. 1978...that means it took them more than 30 years to put this piece of slime to death?
His victims were dead in no time at all. I guess we’re just lucky that he and his buddy didn’t have time to torture them.
Oh, I forget, in 1978, when CA had a lenient policy where anybody could do anything, a Florida trucker named Lawrence Singleton raped a teenage girl, chopped her arms off and left her to die in the desert...and got 14 years. After he was released (serving only 6 or 8 years, I don’t recall the number) he went back to Florida and was finally caught after strangling and killing another woman.
If they’d put him to death the first time, that would never have happened. Nothing cures a homicidal maniac like his own death.
The F@%)*& should have been executed..about a week after the trial.
