A man who killed and dismembered his boyfriend, leaving the head near the Hollywood sign, has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
City News Service says 40-year-old Gabriel Campos-Martinez was sentenced Monday by a judge who urged him to explain why he committed the murder. Campos-Martinez earlier declined to make a statement.
Authorities say Campos-Martinez lived with Hervey Medellin before he strangled the retired airline ticketing agent in December of 2011.
Medellin’s head and other body parts were scattered near a hiking trail in Griffith Park near the Hollywood sign. A dog being walked found the head a month after the killing. Authorities later found hands and feet.
Campos-Martinez was arrested last year in Texas.

Prison is a good place for this murderer. Hopefully he will remain caged for the remainder of his life.
Errol says
He will agree with you, Prison is the good place for him; with SO many guys there who will bend him over and make his eyes roll with pleasure.
Robert says
He should receive the death penalty
fivestars says
what is it with latinos.. they LOVE to cut people up. no wonder no one really wants them around.
CJOSIE says
Don’t let Obama read this he’d likely try to excuse the killing away & get him on a welfare program
William says
For Capitol crimes, I still favor the death penalty. There is no benefit to keeping this sick killer alive, especially at the expense of several million $ depending on how long he is a waste of oxygen. Can anyone tell me of a benefit when life without the possibility of parole has been handed down?

Definetly this idiot should never see the light of day again for one Murder. In contrast, Hittlery has Benghazi Massacre to explain, along with her Boss, Obamba & Transparent Regime for the Deaths of our Ambassador, Stevens and 3 Navy Seals. Why isn’t Ex Secretary of State, Hittlery and Gang in Prison ? We already know we have a worthless,Lawless Muslim Regime in WH , with the help of all in government ,are Complicit in supporting this self made Dictator’s quest to Bankrupt our country, and everybody down on your knees.

There are good judges and there are bad judges! The judge in this case should step down and allow one with good sense to replace him.
We have in our Supreme Court some judges who don’t belong there starting with Roberts!
