Man accused of being the Golden State Killer has pleaded guilty to 13 counts of first-degree murder in a deal that will spare him the death penalty.

Assistant Chief Deputy District Attorney Thien Ho said the scope of DeAngelo's crime spree is"simply staggering, encompassing 13 known murders and almost 50 rapes between 1975 and 1986."

The prosecutors' decision to take a plea deal was influenced by the coronavirus pandemic, Holliday said. Holliday said the pandemic has also limited the availability of courtrooms and jurors because of social distancing requirements.
