    Deondre Arthur Staten - California Death Row


    Deondre Arthur Staten


    Facts of the Crime:

    Staten was found guilty of the first-degree murder of his parents, Arthur and Faye Staten, ages 43 and 42, with the special circumstances of murder for financial gain and multiple murder. The jury found that, on October 13, 1990, he personally used a gun to kill his father and a knife to kill his mother and sentenced him to death. He shot his father once in the head with using a hollow point bullet and stabbed his mother 181 times. Staten tried to blame the murders on a local gang. The aggravating factor was the pure viciousness of the attack on his mother.

    Staten was officially sentenced to death by a Los Angeles County judge on January 16, 1992.

    On November 9, 2000, the California Supreme Court affirmed Staten's death sentence on direct appeal.

    Between 2002 and 2006, Staten filed three state habeas petitions, the last of which was denied by the California Supreme Court on December 20, 2006.
