Convicted killer strangles wife during conjugal visit in Northern California prison, officials say
Briefly

David Brinson, a convicted killer serving multiple life sentences for slaying four men, strangled his wife, Stephanie, during a conjugal visit at Mule Creek State Prison in November. After an emergency call claiming she had passed out, efforts to save her were unsuccessful. The case has drawn attention, with authorities noting they have yet to receive all reports needed for prosecution considerations. Brinson was previously sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for his earlier crimes.
Around 2 a.m. on Nov. 13, Brinson contacted officers and told them his wife had passed out, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Amador County Dist. Atty. Todd Riebe confirmed that Stephanie Brinson was killed during a conjugal visit. He said he hadn't received the reports from Mule Creek to make a charging decision.
