Sausage Maker Found Guilty of 3 Murders
- Share via
The self-proclaimed “sausage king” was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder Tuesday for shooting three meat inspectors to death, an act caught on videotape. He faces a possible death sentence.
Stuart Alexander, 43, was charged in the June 2000 deaths of two federal inspectors and one state inspector at his Santos Linguisa Factory in San Leandro. A fourth inspector escaped unharmed and testified against Alexander during his five-month trial.
Alexander is eligible for the death penalty. The penalty phase is set to begin Monday with the same jury.
