Yes! Seeking the death penalty for this "random" act: http://www.10news.com/news/death-penalty-sought-in-christmas-eve-mall-murders http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/DA-Seeks-Death-Penalty-Carlo-Mercado-Triple-Homicide-Belvedere-Flint-369304281.html

Completely floored by this, Best ... if I remember right, the Deputy DA said it was random and akin to road rage and emotions running high. Stunned, just stunned.

Yay, so relieved that the professionals/judge saw through the act: "The judge found that Mercado understands the charges against him and can assist his attorney at trial. A status conference was set for Jan. 29."...

I wish CM had shown these three kids the same mercy and consideration that the justice system is now showing him. :pullhair: If nothing else, I hope that the faces of Gianni, Sal, and Ilona are the only things he sees in his mind everyday for the next three years and that his guilt sent him...

Wow, so catatonic depression would explain why he was said to be unable to participate in his defense: http://www.healthline.com/health/depression/catatonic-depression I wonder if he might have had issues with mild depression and schizophrenia, and then the murders or the aftermath or the...

I have been waiting to post after reading every single one of your comments since the preliminary hearing ... suffice it to say, I was blown away by what came out in the PH with regards to the drugs. I would guess that many of us may have initially suspected drugs before we found out so much...

It mentions in the article that CM had waived his right to a speedy trial, but he reasserted that right and that's why it had to be rescheduled sooner. I hope this means that this will be over with sooner rather than later ... one can hope, right? Maybe he's nervous that more digging and...

Nice find, Best ... here's a link to a related article: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/New-Court-Date-Set-for-Triple-Homicide-Suspect-271772031.html

Great posts today, everybody!!! At least we now know CM wasn't the jail death from last week. Get better, Best!!!

KNSD story about today's court appearance: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Triple-Homicide-suspect-appears-in-court-Carlo-Mercado-266515061.html

Happy 4th wherever you are today ... it's beautiful here today in San Diego and I know that's certainly not the case everywhere! Stay safe WSers! I agree that I don't expect it to be CM but these types of deaths are often reported on the San Diego Coroner's page so I've been looking there...

Thanks for that, tvscum ... the "twists and turns" mention is about 8 minutes in!

I'll provide a link as soon as KGTV updates their Web site but I'm paraphrasing what the prosecutor said to interviews ... investigation remains on-going due to lots of twists and turns they've uncovered. To me, a hit seems to be back on the table but if that's the case, he's the worst hitman...

No new info?!?! http://www.10news.com/news/arraignment-for-triple-murder-suspect-carlo-mercado-could-give-information-on-possible-motive

I appreciate the "repetitive" or "duplicate" responses, because you get ALL the information in multiple posts ... SDHELPS added a lot to what I said to give non-San Diegans a better all-around description. I always forget something!

Regarding the checkpoints, the Border ones are always in the same place and heading north ... they're at Camp Pendleton and Temecula/Riverside. I have read contradicting info as well ... going to or leaving from target practice and that it was CP or Riverside. Here's where I saw Riverside...

I know, Vedder ... that had crossed my mind, and I didn't even want to think about that, but it's probably the only way this smaller man could have done it :-( I'm claustrophobic so I hope it didn't last long for him. I'm so angry about all of this and it keeps me up at night. And even if we...

I was thinking the same thing, mrsobrien ... just when we thought we had the pieces falling together!!!

This was just posted on KGTV: "Mercado worked at a Target store, though not the one in Mission Valley as had been reported elsewhere." http://www.10news.com/news/arraignment-for-triple-murder-suspect-carlo-mercado-could-give-information-on-possible-motive

It is hard to fathom only one person doing this, for sure ... do we know the arraignment time yet?
