Photo / APNearly two years after a US jury recommended execution for a man prosecutors called "The Boy Next Door Killer", a judge is set to hand down a sentence on Friday (Saturday NZT). Prosecutors in his California trial were allowed to present extensive evidence from that case as they sought to establish a pattern and present Gargiulo as a serial killer. At the trial, Kutcher said he was late to pick up Ellerin, who did not answer her door. Even if he is given a death sentence, Gargiulo is unlikely to be put to death anytime soon.
