Cleophus Prince Jr. - Biography
Cleophus Prince Jr. (born July 24, 1967 (age 48), aka "The Clairemont Killer") is an American serial killer who was convicted and sentenced to death in 1993 for the rape and murder of six women in San Diego County, California from January through September 1990. Before these crimes, Prince was court-martialed in 1989 due to larceny, and when he was convicted and served his sentence, it was recommended that he be discharged from the Navy. Multiple books have been written on Prince and his crimes.
Prince was arrested on 3 March 1991 in Birmingham, Alabama, where he had returned to visit family following his discharge from the Navy. He had been arrested on an unrelated theft charge and had just been released on bail. Birmingham police, East Precinct, Officer Steven Lampley, contacted Prince by phone and told him that there was more paperwork that had to be completed and if he would come in to the precinct, they would not have to send marked police units to his home (Birmingham Police Department Arrest Report 910313853). After six hours of talking back and forth on the telephone Prince walked into the precinct with his mother and he was taken into custody. He was extradited to San Diego where the trial was held.
After viewing physical evidence, a judge ordered Prince to stand trial in March 1992. The defense argued unsuccessfully that Prince should be cleared of three murder charges from lack of evidence. Prince was found guilty on 15 July 1993 on all six counts of first-degree murder and 21 other felony charges. After later deliberations, the jury rendered a verdict of death. and the judge handed down the death sentence on 5 November 1993.
He is now on death row at San Quentin. Prince appealed his sentence, claiming that extensive media coverage had created a presumption of guilt in the jury pool, but the Supreme Court of California denied his appeal in 2007.
