'Golden State Killer' Gets An Earful From Victims, Complete With Gesture
In a court summary released in Sacramento County Superior Court Monday, prosecutors said the scope of Joseph DeAngelo's crimes was 'simply staggering.'
For a decade, DeAngelo carried out a reign of rape and murder in California that earned him the nickname 'Golden State Killer.'
On Tuesday, victims described DeAngelo as a 'sick monster,' "horrible man,' and 'subhuman' who stole their innocence and changed their lives.
According to Newser, some read statements on behalf of their loved ones who could not testify in person.
One adult daughter of a rape survivor gave DeAngelo the middle finger and cursed him.
Between 1975 and 1986, DeAngelo committed 13 known murders and nearly 50 rapes. A former police officer, the 74-year-old eluded capture for decades.
