An LA County Superior Court judge handed down a 146-year sentence to Hollywood producer David Pearce on Wednesday for the multiple rapes and deaths of his wife in 2021.
Pearce was found guilty in February of two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Christy Giles and Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, who were overdosed on Fentanyl. Prosecutors say Pearce supplied them with the drug.
Pearce was also found guilty of a series of crimes against women between 2007 and 2021, including three counts of rape, one count of indecent sodomy rape and one count of sodomy.
“This sentence brings long-awaited justice to Cabrales-Arzola, Giles, and the victims of sexual assault who came forward and testified,” La County Dist. Atty. Nathan J. Hochman said the statement.
“Not only were the victims sexually abused, but the lives of Cabrales-Arzola and Gilethe were stolen in one of the worst ways – sexual abuse caused by a pearl.”
A call to Pearce’s attorney was not immediately returned.
The miracle of Pearce, the 46-year-old Osborn, referred to the fraudulent appointment on November 18; After the misdemeanor in February, he will likely face a second trial.
In November 2021, Giles and Cabrales-Arzola, together with Michael Ansbach, who had spent the day sorting the pearl that pulled it was said, went out with the producer and his producer, together. A night in east Los Angeles Warehouse Rave involved heavy cocaine use.
The group returned to Beverly Hilly’s apartment in the early hours of the morning.
That was about all that was agreed upon between the parties.
Pearce placed two women and Ansbach with Gamma-HydroxyButTrate (GHB) and Fentanyl, causing Giles and Cabrales-Arzola to overdorse the overdorney, according to the district attorney’s office.
Although Cabreres-Arzola is called a ride-sharing service, even if it doesn’t have any gimmicks.
About 11 hours later, Pierce dropped Giles off at the hospital; About 90 minutes later, he did the same at Cabrales-Arzola’s, the district attorney’s office said.
Court records show the car that abandoned the women had no license plates, which Ansbach said he saw Pearce remove. Although Ansbach was initially arrested in connection with the women’s deaths, he became an important Witness.
Giles was dead on arrival at the hospital. Cabrales-Arzola survived 11 days before being taken off life support by his family.
Pearce was detained at the time of his claim that he found the two women unconscious in his apartment around 5 am near bottles of alcohol and powdery. He said he didn’t think much of it, at first.
“The lifestyle that I was living at the time was very unethical, if that makes sense,” Pearce, 43, testified earlier this year. “It was unusual for people to use my house as a crash pad, a party house. I know it’s bad, but at least for a week my friends passed by my house.”
Pearce said she grew worried when there was no male and was repeated to them several times, eventually taking them to different hospitals.
He said he administered CPR but did not call 911.
Since his arrest in December 2021, Seven women came forward to accuse Pearce of rape.
In two days of testimony, Pearce denied each charge, saying he had never met at least one of his accusers and dismissing all positive encounters.
Pearce described a booze- and drug-fueled lifestyle and said most of the women approached him at parties or through dating apps.
“This case is a sobering reminder of the devastation caused by fentanyl,” Hochman said. “Fentanyl poison that harms and exploits others will be accounted for.”
