OXNARD : Life Sentence Upheld for Rapist-Murderer
A judge Friday affirmed an earlier jury decision and sentenced an Oxnard man to life in prison without parole for the rape and murder of a mother of four.
Superior Court Judge Allan L. Steele tacked on an additional 36-year prison sentence for a previous rape that Frederick L. Jackson committed on an Oxnard beach.
“He’ll never get out of prison,” Deputy Dist. Atty. Donald C. Glynn said.
Jackson, 27, is the second man convicted for the 1992 murder of 30-year-old Genoveva Gonzales, who was raped, shot three times in the head and dropped in an Oxnard drainage ditch. The triggerman, Christopher Sattiewhite, was sentenced to death last year.
According to testimony, Jackson and Sattiewhite kidnaped Gonzales in Oxnard and took her to an isolated area along Arnold Road, where Jackson raped the woman in the back seat of a car. Jackson then ordered Sattiewhite to kill Gonzales.
The two were linked to the killing months later, after they became suspects in a robbery and rape on an Oxnard beach.
