Golden State Killer Suspect Appears In Court Briefly On Wednesday

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The alleged East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer appeared briefly in court on Wednesday.

Jospeh DeAngelo was again in a wheelchair. The judge did not allow cameras in the courtroom. A motion had been filed by the public defender about a search warrant, and the district attorney filed a counter motion to continue searching.

Due to wanting to review both of the motions, the judge called for the court to reconvene on the case on Thursday.

DeAngelo made his first court appearance on Friday and did not enter a plea.

DeAngelo, 72, appeared like he could only barely able to keep his eyes open while listening to the judge.

He is being charged with two counts of murder in Sacramento County and six more around the state.

A handful of municipalities with unsolved crimes dating back to the 1970s, like Davis, believe DeAngelo could be linked to those cases.
