California killer given additional death sentence

So does this mean that they will have to put the electric chair inside the
gas chamber so they can carry out the two deaths sentences at once?

Naw... it just means the anti-death penalty advocates will have more to do
to  get two distinct death sentences commuted in order to save the accused
from being executed.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - One of the most prolific killers in Los Angeles history
has been given an additional death sentence.

Chester D. Turner, who is already on death row for murdering 10 women, was
sentenced Friday for four more murders.

The slayings during the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s were
once thought to be the work of one man dubbed the "Southside Slayer."

The 47-year-old Turner is one of three men now blamed for the murders of
women who typically were raped and strangled. Many were prostitutes.

The former pizza delivery man was convicted in June of the additional
slayings between 1987 and 1997.

Another man imprisoned 11 years for three of those killings was freed after
DNA evidence pointed to Turner.
