Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer has revealed the gruesome details of 49 death row inmates in his county whose sentences Governor Gavin Newsom is seeking to commute, highlighting shocking acts of violence including the murder of police officers, a serial killer responsible for at least 16 young men’s deaths and suspected in dozens more, and individuals convicted of heinous crimes such as the ‘Yacht Killers’ who drowned a couple for a sex-change operation funded by taxpayers. Among the condemned are Randy Steven Kraft, known as the ‘Scorecard Killer,’ linked to at least 16 murders and suspected of 51 more; Gerald Parker, the ‘Bedroom Basher,’ who killed five women and an unborn baby; Kevin Dewayn Boyce, a Crips gang member who murdered an off-duty sheriff’s deputy; Hung Thanh Mai, who executed a California Highway Patrol officer; Maurice Gerald Steskal, who ambushed and shot a sheriff’s deputy 30 times; John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Skylar Deleon, the ‘Yacht Killers’; and John Joseph Famalaro, the ‘Cold Storage Killer,’ who murdered a woman and kept her body in a freezer truck. Spitzer and other prosecutors are vehemently opposing Newsom’s clemency initiative, arguing it represents a profound injustice to victims and their families, especially as California has not carried out an execution in two decades.
