Alleged serial killer lands in hospital before trial

John Arthur Getreu, 76, of Hayward, is accused in the killings of Leslie Marie Perlov and Janet Ann Taylor, both 21, in 1973 and 1974, respectively. He was identified as the alleged killer through modern DNA techniques after eluding arrest for decades.

Getreu's case is scheduled to start on Monday, Sept. 28, with jury selection in his trial in San Mateo County for Taylor's death, but little is known about his condition. Prosecutors and defense attorneys have been informed that he does not have COVID-19.

Getreu has pleaded not guilty in the Perlov and Taylor cases. He is scheduled for a trial setting hearing on Wednesday afternoon in Santa Clara County on the Perlov case.

Wagstaffe said that tightened protocols due to COVID-19 have made it difficult for Getreu's attorney to visit him and the attorney did not know yet why his client was hospitalized. Facing difficulty in planning for the trial without much information on Getreu's health, prosecutors plan to speak to hospital staff to learn more.

Prosecutors plan to begin having witnesses testify on Oct. 13 if all goes as planned.
 
No it's okay @JerseyGirl - easier to take care of now! :)

And I see he in the hospital... :rolleyes: I guess I shall keep him on 9/28 & see what happens!
Thanks!
