"...string of burglaries, attemped murder, and murder..."
Murder is a misdemeanor now in Cacafornia isn’t it?
Citizenship status???
Probably loonies camping in the parks. Years ago, one of them ran amok at a CA state park and used his hatchet to chop to death campers sleeping peacefully in their tents.
Quite a few years back, a man and woman camping on an isolated beach in either northern California or Oregon were murdered. Wonder if this might be brought up.
