Former policeman dubbed the 'Golden State Killer' pleads guilty to 13 murders, as well as confesses to dozens of rapes, robberies and kidnappings in the US

People stand at the Sacramento County courtroom as former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. speaks during a hearing on crimes attributed to the Golden State Killer, in Sacramento, California, US, June 29, 2020.

"The scope of Joseph DeAngelo's crime spree is simply staggering," prosecutor Thien Ho told the makeshift courtroom – a university ballroom converted to allow victims to attend while social distancing. Prosecutor Amy Holliday said the state was prepared to remove the death penalty and secure 11 consecutive life terms without parole for the former cop and Vietnam veteran.The manhunt finally ended after investigators successfully matched DNA evidence from crime scenes with a family genealogy database used by his relatives.

In one case, the judge heard how DeAngelo had forced a victim to orally copulate him by threatening to cut off the ear of her baby boy. In 1979, DeAngelo was fired from the police department in Auburn, California for shoplifting a hammer and a can of dog repellent.
