California sex offender pleads guilty to killing 2 teens - CNN.com: "(CNN) -- Calling capital punishment in California an 'empty promise,' the father of murdered teen Chelsea King said he supported a deal to take death off the table for his daughter's killer in order to bring closure to the community.
'We stand here because of a despicable evil act committed against our beautiful daughter, Chelsea, committed against our family and committed against our community,' Brent King said in a news conference Friday. 'While our unequivocal first choice is the death penalty, we acknowledge that in California that penalty has become an empty promise.'
San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said the family's blessing contributed to a plea deal with registered sex offender John Gardner III in Chelsea's death and two other cases."
