Joseph DeAngelo, the alleged Golden State Killer, faces 13 murders charges and 13 rape-related charges for a crime spree throughout California in the 1970s and 1980s. He was arrested in April 2018 once familial DNA identified him as having left his DNA at several crime scenes. Six California counties are working jointly in this prosecution. The trial will take place in Sacramento. Some believe the trial could take years to complete. DeAngelo, a former police office, is 73 years old.
