Jury Handed Case of Alleged Serial Killer

AUGUST 8, 2019

"Jurors were handed the case Thursday against a man accused of being the so-called “boy-next-door killer,” charged with the murders of two Southland women in their homes and a 2008 attack on a woman who survived being stabbed eight times in her Santa Monica apartment.

The Los Angeles Superior Court jury is due back in court Monday to begin its deliberations in the trial of Michael Gargiulo, who is charged with the Feb. 22, 2001 killing of 22-year-old Hollywood resident Ashley Ellerin — who had been set to go out that night with actor Ashton Kutcher — and the Dec. 1, 2005 slaying of 32-year-old Maria Bruno in her El Monte apartment....

Gargiulo also is facing an attempted murder charge stemming from an April 2008 attack on 26-year-old Michelle Murphy, who survived being stabbed eight times, along with an attempted escape charge.

The murder charges include the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder while lying in wait.

The 43-year-old defendant could face the death penalty if he is convicted of the killings and found to have been sane at the time of the crimes.

Gargiulo is awaiting trial separately in Illinois on a murder charge stemming from the Aug. 14, 1993, slaying of 18-year-old Tricia Pacaccio, who was the sister of one of his friends. She was killed outside her home...."

Ugh, it kind of worries me that the jury is taking this long. I don't know how his guilt is even in question. At least, if he is found not guilty, he still has to face trial in Illinois for TP's death.

Hollywood Ripper Michael Gargiulo is found guilty in fatal stabbings | Daily Mail Online

I am so happy to see this verdict of guilty! His first victim in Glenview Illinois was the girlfriend of one of my coworkers. Horrible situation. I was even interviewed by the cops because I think they were looking at him as a suspect. Lots of people suspected him. It was a horrible situation and the cops really dropped the ball as they had a strong suspicion of this guy but never brought the case, even though his DNA was found at the scene. He went on to kill these other women and try to kill others after that.
