Mayor responds to Grim Sleeper’s arrest

By Diana Parra-Garcia



"Thank God" was Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's response to the arrest of Grim Sleeper suspect, Lonnie Franklin Jr.

Charged with 10 counts of murder, Frankin has pleaded not guilty to murdering 10 women. In what could become a 3-year high profile trial, Franklin could possibly recieve a death penalty conviction for the murders of the South Los Angeles African-American women who were killed between 1985 and 2007.

Crenshaw High School reporter Diana Parra-Garcia caught up with Villaraigosa to discuss the arrest.
