LOS ANGELES (AP) - A man was sentenced to death Wednesday for killing six prostitutes whose bodies were found in cities along the freeway route east of Los Angeles.
There was overwhelming evidence that Ivan J. Hill, who has been dubbed the "60 Freeway Slayer," murdered the women, Superior Court Judge Larry Fidler said.
Hill, a 45-year-old former forklift operator, was convicted Nov. 17 of six counts of first-degree murder for killings committed in 1993 and 1994. He was charged in 2003 after DNA evidence linked him to the killings while he was serving time in state prison for unrelated crimes.
