Death is too good for this manster, every little bit of data that can be squeezed out of him should be- in order to learn more about, and to help prevent this type of aberrant human from running amok ever again . Take sex assaults and domestic violence seriously!So how will society stop future Golden State Killers? No answers? Do we just wait for the next one(s) to pop up and hope we catch them after they've killed more victims?
I think we need far harsher punishments.
We can't stop evil, but with the advances in DNA, I would hope that we could catch the person a lot faster and prevent their future attacks.So how will society stop future Golden State Killers?

Well it's impossible to know a killer before they actually commit their first felony crime and either get caught or leave their DNA.So how will society stop future Golden State Killers? No answers?

Is anyone else reading the new book by DeAngelo's brother-in-law that just came out? I highly recommend it as an interesting read.
He does have a comment on the 1981-1986 time period, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to quote it here. Am I correct?
Since he (and I) are local, he does add more information to the timeline as far as locations. I was surprised to see that one of the EAR's presumed prowl/burglary incidents was barely a half of a block from my current house. (Eek!)
Joseph DeAngelo's wife's brother, James Huddle, has written a book to be released on June 30th, called Killers Keep Secrets: The Golden State Killer's Other Life. He talks about things he saw over the years that, looking back, were red flags--if he'd been looking for any.
The book looks like it would be interesting--I've already reserved my copy.

Would that fall under the freedom of information act? If there will not be a trial, would the potential evidence then be considered public domain?Someone made a comment elsewhere that they can't wait until someone writes a book detailing all the evidence that was found in his house.
Since there's no trial to present that evidence at, would that even be possible? If one of the detectives wrote the book, could he detail evidence collected but never presented at trial?
You can email the DA of Sacramento and ask if that evidence will ever be made public.Would that fall under the freedom of information act? If there will not be a trial, would the potential evidence then be considered public domain?
Why should they? DeAngelo deserved the death penalty for his crimes not life without parole....I hope somewhere, Michelle and the murder victims of EAR/ONS/GSK are smiling and having a drink together.
These psychos always try to play the "demon card"....RBBM
Good grief! An inner personality named "Jerry"??
Sounds like O.J.'s buddy "Charlie" who killed NBS and RG.
JMVHO.
The DP in California has been put on hold and no executions are occurring and haven't for quite awhile. DeAngelo would never actually be executed even if he did get the DP. He'll be long dead before they even process the next 10 death row inmates, and there are something like 700 in the queue. This way the state saves millions of $$$, gets him sentenced and off to prison for the rest of his life, there won't be any appeals, and he can rot. The victims and family members will still get *their* day(s) in court, saying everything they want, as long as they want, and DeAngelo will have to sit there, pretending he's an incapacitated demented old man (which is all an act IMO).Why should they? DeAngelo deserved the death penalty for his crimes not life without parole....
If they're "somewhere" (I don't think so 'cause I'm atheist but it's just my opinion...) they might be outraged not smiling and having a drink...
No. Milllllions of $$$$$ would have been spent trying him. It would take years. Saving money for the state is the conservative policy. He gets fast-tracked to prison, no appeals ever. Unless you'd like to help pay for numerous trials since there are multiple counties?Lazy and libs...just sayin'
He will be sent to SQ for initial processing, as a convicted felon, and could well end up there, doing hard time.As you already said DP in California has been put on hold.
True but it's a moratorium on the death penalty. Nothing more.
Newsom doesn't support the DP but maybe a new governor...in the future...who knows...
You said millions of dollars were saved....I can tell you: who cares?
When it comes to murders I don't care about money, thousands, millions or even trillions of dollars.
If sentenced to death DeAngelo wouldn't be executed....I agree.
But he would have spent the rest of his life inside his cell at San Quentin (which is worse than any other maximum security prison in California, as far as I know)
The people of California DO want the capital punishment.He will be sent to SQ for initial processing, as a convicted felon, and could well end up there, doing hard time.
I know *you* don't care what it costs, but the people of CA do, and part of the responsibility of DAs across the state is to leverage their budgets carefully to maximize convictions. Avoiding upwards of 10 to 14 trials or one super huge, super long trial is smart.
BTW, conservatives are known to want less spending by the government, and a smaller government in general, so getting this monster processed and 'done' works in the fiscal conservatives' favor. IMO
Again he was never going to be executed by the state, even if they gave him 10 DP sentences, even if CA was full steam ahead on executions, because time would run out before they'd ever get to him. So, in essence, it would be a symbolic DP sentence only, which I know would still feel good.The people of California DO want the capital punishment.
In 2016 "proposition 62" (which would have replaced the DP with LWOP) was on the ballot and failed....
Proposition 66 (which retain the capital punishment and expedite death sentence appeals) passed....
Of course the following year the Supreme Court of California "killed" proposition 66
Californians want the DP, they don't care about how much it costs.
Only politicians and anti-DP fans care.
