Juan Corona, who killed 25 itinerant farm laborers in one of America’s worst serial murder case, had died, state prison officials said Monday.
In 1971 a farmer in Sutter County came along a freshly dug hole in a peach orchard. The farmer, who had contracted with Corona to hire field workers, returned the next day and saw the hole filled with dirt. To allay his suspicions, he called police.
Prosecutors also claimed they had a receipt from a local butcher with Corona's name and handwriting that was found in one of the graves. But a state appellate court overturned the first conviction in 1978, blasting Corona's defense attorney for mounting a farcical defense and calling no rebuttal witnesses to counter the prosecution's 119 witnesses.
After closing arguments that took 12 days to complete, the jury of seven men and five women convicted Corona of all charges.
