50 more years for cold case rapist

A man serving a lengthy prison sentence in California just got 50 more years after DNA evidence linked him to three cold-case rapes in Montgomery County during the 1980s, officials said.

Gerald Smith, 54, pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree rape and was sentenced Tuesday. The 50-year term will be tacked on to the 87-years-to-life sentence he’s serving in California for several more rapes.
