The discovery of the bodies in July 2013 drew national attention to the possibility that another serial killer like Anthony Sowell had been killing women in and around Cleveland. Sowell was convicted in 2011 and sentenced to death for killing 11 women whose bodies were found at his Cleveland home. Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy McDonnell declined to clear the courtroom, and after about a 15-minute delay, the hearing continued. Linda Deskins, the stepmother of Angela Deskins, spoke about the grief that Angela’s father has endured. Law enforcement officers dragged Terry out of the courtroom and ushered him out of the courthouse.
