Yosemite killer to stand trial for four murders
Cary Stayner, already serving life in federal prison for killing Yosemite park guide Jose Armstrong, faces state trial to seek the death penalty for three tourists and a Coca Cola killer. Prosecutors detail charges including murder kidnapping and special circumstances with 130 potential witnesses and a cost of about 3 million dollars. Stayner’s defense cites obsessive compulsive disorder and insanity pleas while the Pelosso and Carrington families weigh policy and the case’s impact.
