Man facing death penalty linked to more murders

Man facing death penalty linked to more murders: "DNA evidence has linked a convicted murderer facing a possible death sentence in Virginia to two more killings in California committed 20 years ago.
The new evidence from a pair of unsolved killings in 1990 in Riverside County means that Alfredo Prieto has been now been linked to six killings and four rapes in Virginia and California between 1988 and 1990.
Jury selection is under way for a new sentencing trial in Fairfax County. Two juries have convicted Prieto and one sentenced him to death, but the Supreme Court of Virginia ordered a new sentencing because it said a verdict form was unclear.
Prieto was already on death row in California when he was extradited to Virginia in 2006 to stand trial on the rationale that Virginia was more likely to carry out a death sentence."
