Quote:A 74-year-old Hayward man [John Arthur Getreu] who has been accused of murdering two 21-year-old women on Stanford University property about a year apart in the 1970s pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in one of the cases on Friday.
...
Getreu, who lived in Palo Alto at the time of the murders, was convicted in 1963 for raping and murdering a 15-year-old American girl in Germany, for which he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was 18 years old at the time of the crime and lived with his family in Bad Kreuznach, where the fathers of both teens were stationed at a U.S. Army base. He was charged with the rape of a 17-year-old girl in Palo Alto in 1975 and pleaded to a lesser charge of statutory rape, according to court documents.
Getreu will appear in Santa Clara County Superior Court in San Jose on July 15 to enter a plea [in the Perlov case]. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in San Mateo County Superior Court on Nov. 4 [in the Taylor case].

Quote:A man charged with killing two young women in the 1970s on Stanford University property has been hospitalized right before his trial was set to begin in San Mateo County.
John Arthur Getreu, 76, of Hayward, is accused in the killings of Leslie Marie Perlov and Janet Ann Taylor, both 21, in 1973 and 1974, respectively. He was identified as the alleged killer through modern DNA techniques after eluding arrest for decades.

If he's in the hospital, he's getting a few needles right now. I would presume that the DNA evidence is pretty conclusive...not sure there would be any other reason to overprosecute a cold case like this. Glad to see that there is still some justice in this world.

Quote:A jury took a little over an hour to find serial killer John Arthur Getreu guilty of first-degree murder and infliction of great bodily harm in the strangulation death of La Honda resident Janet Ann Taylor
...
Diane Perlov, Leslie Perlov's younger sister, watched from the courtroom as Getreu's verdict in the Taylor case was read. It could be more than a year until he comes to trial in Santa Clara County for her sister's death due to a backlog of cases, she said.

Wishful thinking. This creep will expire in his cell (or maybe get shanked in the yard). And the world will be a better place for it.

Not in California.
If you live in any other state besides Texas these days, your chances of being executed for a crime are just about zero.

Could someone explain to me why he was working for Stanford hospital after having been previously convicted of raping and murdering a 15-year-old?

From the article-
Quote:Although Getreu was previously convicted of murder in a similar crime in Germany in the early 1960s, he was not in any digital database due to the age of the case and its overseas location, according to law enforcement officials.

Can't be anyway he lives long enough to even try for parole, if the possibility even exists. He can only die once unfortunately.
