San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe is pursuing the death penalty for the suspect in the Half Moon Bay mass shooting, a historic decision in his tenure.

After numerous attempts to get the victim to cooperate with the SAO for the necessary pre-filing conference, the victim refused to assist with the case investigation.

Krenwinkel, 77, was found suitable for parole based on her age and spotless behavior record, though the final decision rests with the California governor.

Marvin Mutch, once a symbol of California's parole reform, has been arrested for possessing child pornography and other charges, raising serious concerns.
