The California Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence of Cary Stayner for the 1999 murders of three people at Yosemite National Park. - Stayner, 64, was convicted of killing Carole Sund, 42, her daughter Juli Sund, 15, and Silvina Pelosso, 16.
- The court rejected his appeal, which claimed Miranda violations, judicial bias, and jury misconduct. - Justice Kelli Evans dissented, arguing the penalty phase was unfair due to restrictions on defense evidence.
- Executions remain on hold in California under Governor Gavin Newsom's moratorium. Stayner is held at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City.
