Bittaker
denied everything. At his trial on February 5, 1981, he testified that Norris first
informed him of the murders after their arrest in 1979. A jury chose to
disbelieve him, returning a guilty verdict on February 17. On March 24, in
accordance with the jury’s recommendation, Bittaker was sentenced to death. The
judge imposed an alternate sentence of 199 years 4 months, to take effect in the
event that Bittaker’s death sentence is ever commuted to life imprisonment. Bittaker
is still on death row at San Quentin Prison, while Norris still sits at Pelican
Bay Prison in California.
