Herbert W. Mullin, 25, clutched law books and a Constitution as he tried to plead guilty to 10 Santa Cruz area slayings. Judge Donald R. May refused to accept pleas citing lack of consultation with appointed counsel, entering an innocent plea instead. The suspect faced charges for ten killings between Jan 24 and Feb 13 including a mother and two children, a Santa Cruz man and wife, an elderly fisherman, and four youths. He remains prime suspect in a separate Los Gatos priest beating death with no charges filed.
