LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A judge today denied the defense s motion for a new trial for the so-called “Hollywood Ripper” who was convicted of killing and mutilating two Southland women and attacking a third who survived to testify against him setting the stage for the defendant s sentencing later this afternoon.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler ruled that there was sufficient evidence to support Michael Gargiulo s conviction for the Feb. 22, 2001, slaying of 22-year-old Ashley Ellerin in her Hollywood bungalow hours before she was set to go out with actor Ashton Kutcher, along with the Dec. 1, 2005, killing of Maria Bruno, a 32-year-old mother of four young children, in her El Monte apartment.
