SAN DIEGO — District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, joined by the parents of Amber Dubois and Chelsea King, said seeking the death penalty for John Albert Gardner III would have forced the families to relive the murders “over and over again.”


And there she is right out in front looking so humanitarian, our very own Bah-ston transplant Bonnie. Bonnie Dumanis is a show boater, if there is national publicity to be twisted to make her look good, she's on it.

..Dubois vanished in February 2009...

...Chelsea King's body was discovered March 2 (2010) in a shallow lakeside grave after a massive search. Prosecutors said Gardner was linked to the crime by DNA found on her clothing...

...The bones of Dubois were discovered March 6 (2010) in a rugged, in a rugged, remote area north of San Diego, a day after Gardner led authorities there. She vanished with a $200 check to purchase a lamb she was going to raise for Future Farmers of America. The check was never cashed....

...In a surprising turn, Gardner admitted Friday to kidnapping, raping and stabbing Dubois. He also admitted dragging King to a remote area where he raped, strangled and buried her....

Gardner offered to plead guilty to both murders if prosecutors agreed to not seek the death penalty.
