The verdict came after months of testimony and evidence and four days of deliberation.
A California jury found Michael Gargiulo, aka the"Hollywood Ripper," guilty Thursday of the murders of two women and the attempted murder of another.
In his opening statement, Deputy District Attorney Dan Akemon painted a picture of a vicious killer who charmed his victims as a helpful neighbor and handyman before he broke into their homes and stabbed them to death, CNN affiliate KABC reported. Scores of witnesses took the stand, including actor Ashton Kutcher, who went to Ellerin's home the night she was killed.
After Kutcher found out what happened to Ellerin, he called the police because his fingerprints were on her door and he was"freaking out," he said. Kutcher was never considered a suspect, according to police.
