LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Accused serial killer Ivan Hill is currently on trial for the murder of six people between 1993 and 1994. While there is apparently no doubt in his guilt, Hill's lawyers have chose to focus his defense on the his drug abuse, which they claim affected the choices he made. The prosecution claims the defense is bogus and is asking the jury to make Hill take full responsibility for his actions. Hill only needs to be convicted on one count to face the death penalty.
KANSAS CITY, Missouri — A judge has thrown out strong evidence in the trial of Lorenzo Gilyard, who has been described as Missouri's most prolific serial killer.

Gilyard is accused of killing 13 women between 1977 and 1993. It is not yet known how the ruling will effect his trial.
