NEW YORK (AP) — A serial killer already sentenced to death in California admitted Friday to murdering two other young women in New York City in the 1970s.
Rodney Alcala told a Manhattan judge that he wanted to plead guilty to two murder counts so he could get back to California and pursue an appeal of his death case. He had complained in letters to the judge that his jailers in New York wouldn’t give him access to a laptop computer and legal records.
