On Thursday, the California Supreme Court upheld the death penalty for one of two men implicated in 11 murders in the 1980s, CBS News reports.
According to Law & Crime, Charles Chitat Ng, 61, was convicted of murdering 11 people from 1984 to 1985 in Northern California. Authorities believe he and his accomplice, Leonard Lake, may also be responsible for several more murders.
Ng and Lake kidnapped and tortured several people before murdering them. Lake killed himself after being arrested for shoplifting in 1985 before any bodies were found. A jury convicted Ng in 1999 for murdering six men, three women and two babies, CBS News reports.
Ng was given the death penalty after his conviction. According to Law & Crime, the court upheld that decision Thursday with a unanimous opinion. He can still fight the death penalty with federal appeals. California Governor Gavin Newsom has also placed a moratorium on death penalties as long as he is governor.

This person has been taking up space, air & money since this maggot killed so many innocent loving people, one was a very sweet young beautiful lady named Kathleen Allen who we known many years prior to this Monster got ahold of her. God rest her and the others these 2 inhumane people Stole their lives. I always prayed this this Monster NEVER was able to smile, laugh, enjoy the sun, enjoy a meal, and was in constant constipation pain, basically not to enjoy or experience any of life pleasures. Thank you Governor for making a horrible decision of taking the death penalty away. when have you ever had a loved one, friend or family killed in such a horrific manner. Nature has it when you have a rabbid dog you have to put them down for their own safety and most of all the safety of others…..This rabbid Monster needs to be put down, he serves no purpose in our wonderful world….shame on you Charles you are truly an Freak!!!!
