Grand jury transcripts reveal that police found two pieces of evidence further linking a Los Angeles man to the “Grim Sleeper” serial killings.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Grand jury transcripts reveal that police found two pieces of evidence further linking a Los Angeles man to the "Grim Sleeper" serial killings.
The Los Angeles Times reports Thursday that prosecutors presented to the grand jury two items found at Lonnie Franklin Jr.’s home: a gun that police say was used to kill one woman and a photo of another woman moments after she was shot.
The 58-year-old is accused of committing 10 murders and one attempted murder, typically shooting or strangling African American women in South Los Angeles. Their bodies were found dumped in alleyways and showed signs of sexual abuse.
Franklin’s attorney, Louisa Pensanti, criticized the secrecy of the hearings and said she was not present to challenge any of the submitted evidence.
