Gerald Parker is found guilty of being CA "Bedroom Basher" serial killer of 1978-'79,killing 5 gals & unborn fetus

Unlike the past two days, I do have a VERY busy day ahead of me today, with
about 9 hours worth of outdoor/public chores abd tasts that will keep me
offline for most of the day. Let me try and squeeze in 2 or maybe even 3 posts,
before I must and will shut down the 'puter and leave you crime news hounds to
your own news gathering devices.
Over in California yesterday, the initial phase of the serial murder trial of
Gerald Parker came to an end, and I am sad to report that Gerald was indeed
found guilty of all six counts of first degree murder that he was charged with.
Gerald is of course the very POORLY publicized 1970's "Bedroom Basher" serial
killer, who stalked and terrorized Orange County, CA during a 2-3 year rampage
of rage and hate. He would break into homes and brutally beat & sometimes rape
the female occupants, before killing them. He carefully staked out and stalked
his victims, following them home and trying to make sure that they were home
ALONE, before breaking in and initiating his attack. Gerald did specifically
target YOUNGER women. His five slaughtered victims ranged in age from 17 to 31.
They were all females. He also attacked at least one other gal, 8 1/2 months
pregnant, who managed to survive.
At the time that he committed these attacks, Gerald was a 23-25 year old
enlisted marine, who went on to become a staff sergeant in the marines, which
is a fairly high rank to achieve in the pathetic military heirarchy. Always
nice to see a brainwashed societal slave, TOLD and TAUGHT to mindlessly murder
fellow humans upon the command of his military superiors, choosing to target
civilians in a personal, True Reality based killing spree.
Having now been found guilty of all 6 murders, 43 year old Gerald faces an
almost certain Life sentence, as well as the unfortunate possibility of getting
sentenced to be legally murdered. The penalty phase of his trial will begin in
about 10 days.
As has been previously posted by me, one of the women that Gerald attacked, a
pregnant gal, did survive, although her 8 1/2 month old fetus was killed in the
beating. This woman identified her HUSBAND as being the attacker, and he spent
16 LONG years in PRISON, based upon his wife FALSELY accusing him of being her
attacker, and despite a TOTAL lack of any physical evidence directly linking
him to the attack in any way. That hubby, Kevin Green, was only freed in 1996,
after serving 16 years behind bars, after new DNA testing positively linked
Gerald to this non-fatal attack.
Even NOW, having DESTROYED her ex-hubby's life with a false accusation, this
wife CONTINUES to refuse to acknowledge her MISTAKE. She now says that she
thinks her husband TEAMED UP with Gerald Parker, and BOTH of them together
committed this attack upon her back in 1979. This is the ONLY way that she can
RATIONALIZE continuing to ACCUSE her ex-hubby of a crime, when Gerald's DNA was
definately found inside her house, at the crime scene. Her claim is of course
RIDICULOUS, and police are rightly rejecting it. Gerald Parker is a serial
killer and attacker who worked ALONE. The notion of him teaming up with
Dianne's hubby and the 2 of them launching a JOINT attack upon her, is
LUDICROUS.
In a rational society, NO would EVER be convicted of any crime unless there
was SOLID EYEWITNESS or DNA or FORENSIC or other CONCRETE incriminating
evidence against the defendent. But because your diseased society pays LIP
SERVICE and actually SCORNS & rejects the validity of the notion that "All
defendents are innocent unless PROVEN GUILTY in a court of law", this
ex-husband was forced to spend 16 years in jail for a crime he did not commit.
And what does society do 16 years later? It SHRUGS it's SHOULDERS and offers
a USELESS apology. In a rational society, this man would receive a
500,000,000.00 CASH AWARD. Yes, 500 MILLION dollars, awarded by the Supreme
Court of the USA. Not just for the personal injustice that he has suffered, in
being ROBBED of his freedom for 16 prime years of his ONE and ONLY for all of
ETERNITY unique life, but ALSO as a way for the Supreme Court to send a MESSAGE
to society itself, that IF it ever allows an INNOCENT person to be unjustly
found guilty, despite a total lack of solid, incriminating evidence, the
highest court in the land WILL AVENGE the injustice, and impose a GENUINE
punishment upon society itself, by rendering a HUGE cash judgement of hundreds
of millions of dollars to the victim of the SOCIETAL act of injustice.
But instead, this man got NOTHING. Not a SINGLE PENNY from his society,
despite being unjustly locked in a cage for 16 of the BEST, prime years of his
life.
But anyway, the main focus of our attention SHOULD be on Gerald, a VERY
under-rated and little known serial killer who deserves to have received a LOT
more media attention that he did.
Take care, JOE

'Bedroom Basher' Convicted in California
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) -- A man whose killing spree terrorized Orange County in
the 1970s and led to the 16-year imprisonment of an innocent man could face the
death penalty after his conviction on six counts of first-degree murder.
Gerald Parker, 43, was convicted Tuesday.
``I don't know what we would have done if it had been anything less,'' said
Jackie Bessonnette, whose sister Debra Lynn Senior was 17 when she was killed.
The penalty phase of the trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 2.
Parker was accused of killing five women aged 17 to 31 and attacking another
who was pregnant in the ``Bedroom Basher'' assaults from 1978-79. The woman
lost her full-term fetus.
Her then-husband, Kevin Green, was convicted and served more than 16 years in
prison. In 1996, DNA samples taken from Parker, a former Marine staff sergeant
who was convicted of rape, were matched with traces from five unsolved crimes
and the Green case.
Green was released in 1996. He now lives in Missouri.
Green's ex-wife, Dianne D'Aiello, said she believes she was attacked by both
Parker and her ex-husband.
``The jury didn't have all the information,'' D'Aiello said, waiting outside in
the hallway as the verdicts were read. ``The D.A., you know, there was so much
that he didn't ... wasn't bringing out.''
Police contend that after Green left her apartment, Parker broke in, rendered
her unconscious with a wooden board, then sexually assaulted her.
D'Aiello went into shock and fell into a coma, during which oxygen stopped
flowing to her 9-month-old fetus, which was stillborn.
The blows to the head robbed D'Aiello of her senses of smell and hearing, and
some of her memory. She often has trouble writing and is unable to work.

Ex-Marine Convicted of 6 'Bedroom Basher' Murders
By DANIEL YI, Times Staff Writer
SANTA ANA--A former Marine staff sergeant was convicted Tuesday of fatally
bludgeoning five Orange County women and killing the fetus of a sixth victim,
whose husband served more than 16 years in prison for the attack.
A jury took just over two hours to find Gerald Parker guilty of six counts
of first-degree murder, including the death of the fetus. Parker, 43, could
face the death penalty when sentenced Nov. 2.
Five of the victims, between 17 and 31 years old, were killed in the
so-called Bedroom Basher assaults in 1978 and 1979. The sixth woman, Dianna
D'Aiello, who was nine months pregnant, survived the attack but her baby was
stillborn.
Kevin Green, her husband at the time, was found guilty of the crime. He
was released from prison in 1996 after DNA samples taken from Parker, who had
been convicted of rape, were matched with traces from five unsolved crimes and
the Green case. Green now lives in Missouri.
Outside Orange County Superior Court on Tuesday, family members of the
victims said they were glad to see the conviction after nearly two decades. But
some were still guarded.
"We got our verdicts, so we are halfway there," said Newport Beach
resident Jackie Bissonnette, whose sister Debra Lynn Senior, 17, was murdered
19 years ago today in her Costa Mesa apartment.
The other victims were Sandra Kay Fry, 17, of Anaheim; Kimberly Gaye
Rawlins, 21, and Marolyn Kay Carleton, 31, both of Costa Mesa; and Debora
Kennedy, 24, of Tustin.
The defense did not contest the overwhelming amount of physical evidence,
including fingerprints and DNA matches, that eventually pointed to Parker as
the killer.
Parker's lawyers, David Zimmerman and James Enright, instead focused their
case on his state of mind at the time of the crimes.
They argued that Parker, an admitted alcoholic and drug user, was heavily
inebriated when he killed the victims and thus should have been convicted of
second-degree murder. First-degree murder requires premeditation, which
Zimmerman said Parker lacked.
But Deputy Dist. Atty. Mike Jacobs dismissed that claim as a "far cry"
from the facts. "When he struck these six women over their heads, he knew
exactly what he was doing," Jacobs said. "When he removed their clothes and
his, he knew what he was doing."

Just a note to you, Joe. I've noticed before that you say you shut down
your computer when you leave to do your other stuff, and I wanted to tell
you that it's really better to leave your computer on most of the time. I
only shut mine off about once a month, sometimes every other month. I do
not stay online if I am not at my desk, but I do leave the computer on and
just shut down the monitor at night or when I am not home.
Computer tech-type's have told me it doesn't use that much electricity to do
this, although I'm sure that the cost of that would not be a hardship for
you even if it did, and your computer will work a lot smoother and be a lot
more stable.

Hello glas,
I do NOT turn off the computer using Windows. I don't go into Windows and hit
the "Are you sure you want to turn off the computer" button. All I do is sign
off from my online service, and then I hit the "Sleep" button which is located
on the console of the PC itself. This allows the "
Sleep" message to flash on the screen, and then the screen goes blank as the
computer goes into Sleep mode.
> I

I will NOT allow a 'screen saver' to remain onscreen. The only way to get it
off and achieve a blank screen is to go into Sleep Mode, which is what I do.
> I do

I don't touch the monitor controls. I only turn the system off via the Sleep
button on the PC console itself. This makes the screen go blank. To "reawaken"
my computer, all I have to do is TOUCH my mouse.

I appreciate the info, but I am satisfied with continuing to do as I am doing
now. I only turn off the computer via Windows if it locks up, or if I am
installing new software, or if a software program tells me to shut and restart
the computer.
Take care, JOE

You are correct in that it is often the only way to resolve a conflict or a
connection problem. However, if your computer is running fine, you aren't
having any errors or lock-ups, and all of your programs are running
smoothly, there is no reason to turn it off. The power surge from turning
it on and off frequently is very taxing.
