Stalker Jurors Hear Repeat of Testimony
Jurors in the trial of accused Night Stalker Richard Ramirez asked Tuesday to hear again the testimony of three dentists who described their treatment of Ramirez’s teeth problems.
Jurors returned to the courtroom in Los Angeles Superior Court for the first time since they began deliberating July 26 and listened intently as a court reporter read the transcript of what the doctors had said.
The testimony, which came in April and June, related to questions about whether Ramirez was the attacker with bad teeth identified by numerous victims of attacks in the summer of 1985.
The jury, which heard about six months of testimony, is considering 13 murder charges and 30 related felonies in the case of the 29-year-old drifter.
