The Santa Monica Daily Press has been following the trial of Victor Paleologus, charged with the murder of Kristi Johnson in February 2003. Kristi, originally from Michigan, was going to college in L.A. and was an aspiring actress.
This is one of those cases where it seems so completely obvious to me that the guy is guilty based on his history. I remember when I first read about Kristi's murder, and I felt so sad for her family. I know I'm not at the trial, seeing and hearing all of the evidence, but man, I hope the jury puts this guy away forever. There were so many close calls with other women, and I'm sure Kristi wouldn't have been the only one he killed if he hadn't been caught (I think she was his first murder victim).
