A California jury today found accused serial killer Rodney Alcala guilty of murdering four Los Angeles County women and a young girl from Huntington Beach between 1977 and 1979.
Alcala could receive a death sentence when the penalty phase of the trial begins Tuesday.
The guilty verdict comes as a relief to family members of the victims – especially those of Robin Samsoe, a 12-year-old girl slain 31 years ago. Alcala had stood trial twice before in the girl's death but each time his convictions were overturned because of a different technicality.
Undeterred, prosecutors again filed charges in Robin's case in 2005, along with charges in the cases of four other women whose deaths were linked to Alcala using DNA evidence, prosecutors said.
