Well, at least one of them in California decided to save the state some money:
"One of Orange County's most notorious child killers has hanged himself on death row, the California Department of Corrections has reported. James Lee Crummel, 68, was found hanging in his cell Sunday afternoon at San Quentin State Prison.
The former Newport Beach resident made headlines in the late '90s when neighbors found out he was a child molester. But that was only a fraction of what he had been accused of over the years. As neighbors were putting the heat on, police were putting together a case against him in the 1979 kidnapping, sexual abuse and murder of a 13-year-old boy named James Wilfred Trotter.
The Costa Mesa boy disappeared in 1979 while on his way to school."
