Facts of the Crime:
Convicted and sentenced to death in the 1986 murder of Sarah Anne Lee. The evidence showed that, on March 8, 1986, Huggins broke into Sarah Anne Lee’s home in Castro Valley, robbed her of her shotgun, and shot her to death with that shotgun from close range. Huggins admitted killing Lee but claimed he did so accidentally. The prosecution theorized that Huggins broke into Lee’s empty house, found her shotgun, ambushed her at her front door when she returned home, tried to rape her, and killed her with the shotgun when she resisted.
Huggins was sentenced to death on December 17, 1993.
