    In 2016, there will be an initiative on the ballot that, if voted in, will help solve many of California's problems in implementing capital punishment. Please see: http://www.deathpenaltyreform.com/

    Inmate on Death Row for SoCal Murder, Bank Robberies Dies at Hospital

    By Brian Day
    KTLA 5 News

    A man condemned to death for a murder in Tustin, which took place amid a string of bank robberies in Orange and Los Angeles counties, died Saturday at a hospital, authorities said.

    John Abel, 75, died at 10:25 a.m. at a hospital, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

    “His cause of death is unknown pending the results of an autopsy; however, foul play is not suspected,” officials said in a written statement.

    Abel was first sent to prison in 1992 for a string of bank robberies in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

    While serving time for the robberies, he was identified as the gunman in the deadly Jan. 4, 1991, point-blank shooting of a man who had just withdrawn $20,000 from a bank in Tustin, according to the CDCR. He was subsequently convicted of the killing.

    “An Orange County jury sentenced Abel to death on Sept. 26, 1997, for first-degree murder during the commission of a robbery and lying in wait,” the statement said.
