State high court upholds death sentence for Orange County killer

The California Supreme Court unanimously upheld the death sentence Monday of an Orange County man convicted of murdering his parents and brother.

In a decision written by Justice Kathryn Mickle Werdegar, the court rejected an appeal by Edward Charles III, convicted of killing his father, Edward Charles II, his mother, Dolores Charles, and his 19-year-old younger brother, Daniel Charles, a USC student, in 1994 at the family’s Sunny Hills home in Fullerton.

The defendant, a 22-year-old college dropout working as a mechanic at the time of the killings, maintained at his trial that he had no motive for the murders and lacked the poor character required to have committed them.
