Conviction, death sentence overturned for man in three 1985 San Diego murders [Breaking]
The California Supreme Court on Monday overturned the murder convictions and death sentence for a man found guilty of murdering three people in San Diego nearly 40 years ago.
But a second judge granted Waldon’s request “without considering denial or the evidence on which it was based.” Waldon was also convicted of fatally shooting Gordon Wells, a man who was working on his car. A neighbor who heard the gunfire was also shot by Waldon, but survived, according to prosecutors.
During this time frame, police pursued a man in a car registered to Waldon. The driver later abandoned the vehicle and inside it was property belonging to the Ellermans, the woman who was raped and the robbery victims.In his defense, Waldon alleged he framed by federal agents who sought to “thwart his efforts to promote world peace, spread new languages, and advance Cherokee autonomy.”
