California court upholds death penalty for notorious serial killer Charles Ng
The Associated PressThis 2018 photo provided by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shows Charles Ng. He was sentenced to death in 1999 for his part in nearly a dozen torture-murder cases from 1984-85. On Thursday, the California Supreme Court upheld his conviction and death sentence.
In this 2018 file photo, people walk past the Earl Warren Building that houses the California Supreme Court in San Francisco. The court ruled this week to uphold the conviction and death penalty for Charles Ng. The justices unanimously also concluded that Ng was properly extradited after he fled to Canada, where he was arrested in Calgary in 1985 for shoplifting and wounding a store guard. He fought extradition for six years before the Supreme Court of Canada ordered him returned.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has imposed a moratorium on the death penalty so long as he is governor.
