The California Supreme Court overturned the murder convictions and death sentence Monday for a man found guilty of murdering three people in San Diego nearly 40 years ago.
Billy Ray Waldon was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder, as well as arson, robbery, sex crimes and other offenses for an alleged crime spree committed across a two-week period in December 1985.
But a second judge granted Waldon's request"without considering denial or the evidence on which it was based." He was also convicted of fatally shooting Gordon Wells, a man who was working on his car. A neighbor who heard the gunfire was also shot by Waldon, but survived, according to prosecutors.
