VIOLENT CRIME<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In November of 2020, Roy Charles Waller was found guilty of 46 criminal charges in connection to 21 rapes across Northern California, most of which happened decades ago. Waller would forcibly enter the women\u2019s homes, tie them up and blindfold them, often cuddling them for hours after the initial assault occurred. Nine victims waited for over two decades for a suspect to be found. It was the DNA left at the scenes that was subsequently run through GEDmatch\u2019s database that identified Waller as a suspect. Prior DNA evidence had fallen short as Waller\u2019s DNA wasn\u2019t in the state\u2019s criminal offender database. Lead prosecutor Keith Hill told ABC10, \u201cWe\u2019re just thankful that the DNA was there and that the victims were able to receive justice no matter how long it took.\u201d
The trial lasted over a month, with all nine survivors testifying, but the deliberation took just under two and a half hours. When asked about the decision process, Michael H., juror #7, said, \u201cIt was an open and closed case, everything was right there for us\u2026DNA don\u2019t lie.\u201d Waller was sentenced to 897 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
