LA Times. July 23, 2009
A
Ventura County judge also agrees to adding the special circumstance of
lying in wait to charges against Brandon McInerney in the 2008 shooting
death of Larry King at an Oxnard school.
By Steve Chawkins
July 23, 2009
After
hearing testimony for three days, a judge Wednesday said a gay junior
high school student in Oxnard was fatally shot in class "with the
cold-blooded precision of an executioner" and that 15-year-old Brandon
McInerney should stand trial for the crime.
Summing up evidence
from investigators, Ventura County Superior Court Judge Ken Riley took
note of McInerney's telling other students about his intent to kill
Larry King, a 15-year-old who wore makeup, earrings and high heels to
school."
