People v. Kraft8/10/2000
isel's body was dumped near a freeway.
b. Inderbieten
In the context of this case, the jury could reasonably find defendant guilty of Inderbieten's murder based on the method by which the offense was committed and the way in which the killer disposed of the body. Alcohol and diazepam, as well as the barbiturate secobarbital, were found in Inderbieten's body. The cause of death was anoxia due to suffocation. A car cigarette lighter had burned Inderbieten's eyes and nipples (a feature shared by the Hall murder, to which defendant was connected by fingerprint evidence, and the Crisel murder). Ligature marks were found on Inderbieten's wrists. Inderbieten, like Hall, had been emasculated and, as in the DeVaul and "John Doe Huntington Beach" cases, anal swabs revealed the presence of semen. When found, Inderbieten's body was clad only in a pair of pants, partially pulled down, and his body bore road burns from being dumped from a moving vehicle near a freeway not far from where several of defendant's other victims were found.
c. Klingbeil
Based on the cause of death (acetaminophen overdose, with ligature strangulation as a contributing factor), the burning of a nipple by a cigarette lighter, the absence of one of Klingbeil's bootlaces, the ejection of the body from a moving vehicle onto Interstate 5, and the presence on defendant's list of an entry assertedly corresponding to Klingbeil ("HIKE OUT LB BOOTS," referring to the fact the victim was wearing boots and apparently had recently been in Long Beach), in the context of this case the jury reasonably could find defendant guilty of Klingbeil's murder. Klingbeil, moreover, fit the physical profile of defendant's typical victim, being a young White male of average size.
d. Keith
Based on the cause of death (ligature strangulation), the presence of alcohol and benzodiazepine drugs (diazepam and flurazepam) in Keith's system at death, the presence of ligature marks on his wrists, the ejection of the body from a moving vehicle, and the presence on defendant's list of an entry apparently corresponding to Keith ("MARINE CARSON," referring to the victim's status as a United States Marine and the fact defendant apparently met him in Carson), in the context of this case the jury reasonably could find defendant guilty of Keith's murder.
e. Young
Although the cause of Young's death (a stab wound to the heart) differed from that of defendant's other victims, in the context of this case the jury reasonably could find defendant guilty of Young's murder in light of certain details of the offense: Young's belt and one of his shoelaces were missing when his body was found, alcohol and diazepam were in his system at the time of death, he had a ligature mark on his right wrist, he had been emasculated, and his body had been ejected from a moving vehicle. Additionally, a hair consistent with defendant's was found on Young's pants, and an entry on defendant's list ("JAIL OUT," assertedly referring to the fact Young had been released from the Orange County jail hours before he was killed) corresponded to Young. Young, moreover, fit the physical profile of defendant's typical victim.
f. Wiebe
Based on the method of killing and certain other details of the offense, in the context of this case the jury reasonably could find defendant guilty of the murder of Wiebe. Specifically, the cause of Wiebe's death was ligature strangulation; his belt and shoes were missing when the body was found; a sock had been inserted in his rectum; his pants were undone at the top, and his penis was partially exposed; and his body was dumped at the Seventh Street on-ramp to the San Di
