Serial Killer Richard Ramirez Dies
Richard Ramirez, the demonic serial killer who left satantic signs at murder scenes and mutilated victims' bodies during a reign of terror in the 1980s, died early Friday in a hospital, a prison official said. Ramirez, 53, had been taken from San Quentin's death row to a hospital where authorities said he died of liver failure. He had been housed on death row for decades and was awaiting execution, even though it has been years since anyone has been put to death in California. At his first court appearance, Ramirez raised a hand with a pentagram drawn on it and yelled, "Hail, Satan." His marathon trial, which ended in 1989, was a horror show in which jurors heard about one victim's eyes being gouged out and another's head being nearly severed. Courtroom observers wept when survivors of some of the attacks testified. Ramirez was convicted of 13 murders that terrorized Southern California in 1984 and 1985 as well as charges of rape, sodomy, oral copulation, burglary and attempted murder. Satanic symbols were left at murder scenes and some victims were forced to "swear to Satan" by the killer, who entered homes through unlocked windows and doors. Ramirez was finally run down and beaten in 1985 by residents of an East Los Angeles neighborhood while attempting a carjacking. They recognized him because his picture had appeared that day in the news media. [Edited 6/7/13 12:37pm] Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon. | |

"By the time of the trial, Ramirez had fans who were writing him letters and paying him visits.[26] Beginning in 1985, freelance magazine editor Doreen Lioy[27] wrote him nearly 75 letters during his incarceration.[28] In 1988 he proposed to her, and on October 3, 1996, they were married in California's San Quentin State Prison.[29] Before Ramirez's death, Lioy stated that she would commit suicide when Ramirez was executed.[30] By some estimates, he would have been in his early seventies before his execution was carried out, due to the lengthy California appeals process.[31]" My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

I guess liver failure at 53 is a natural cause. "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |

@noimageatall, yeah i always wondered about that whole 'natural cause' thing. Dying of liver failure(or other health problems) at age 53 doesn't seem natural at all.
