Record reporter Scott Smith and I worked on this project about the victims of a serial killer who targeted women on the streets of Stockton and Oakland. We talked to the families of some of his victims and we were there as he was sentenced to death.

•    Diamonds in the rough

I went with Record reporter Christian Burkin to Eastside Community Park and talked to the president of the little league there about the vandalism and violence in that neighborhood.
