afternoon, ladies and gentlemen and thank you for being here before I begin
the statement on behalf of the office of the District Attorney. I'd like all
of us to take *** moment of silence for these victims if you would join me,
you know, the other day we saw an article in the paper that talked about
serial killers in san Joaquin county. Some were not ours. They simply died at
CDCR facility in Stockton. But the few that were ours, they wanted to
emphasize that they had come to our community. But what they missed was
that they all had been arrested, successfully prosecuted and removed
from the street. And that's what happened here. So we want to thank our
partners in law enforcement, Stockton Police Department Chief McFAdden, thank
you. Catherine Nance Stager. All of them who have worked their detectives
officers on the street who have worked so hard and dedicated themselves to
ensuring the rest and apprehension of the suspect. We've worked with fellow
local state and federal agencies who assisted in the capture of this suspect.

who have been here all night are reviewing the evidence as we speak and
they're working actively in partnership with the investigation to determine the
charges that will proceed on the defendant because I'm no longer ever
gonna say his name again, because he doesn't deserve to have *** name. He
doesn't deserve to be out there. So the defendant is what we're gonna call them
