VISTA, Calif. - Prosecutors said Thursday they would seek the death penalty for a man accused of stabbing a woman dozens of times at her San Diego County home.
The decision was announced during a hearing for Derlyn Ray Threats, 25, who is charged with murdering 24-year-old Carolyn Neville of Vista in September.
District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said she chose to seek the death penalty after meeting with the victim's family.
Threats' lawyer, Sloan Ostbye, said she was disappointed by the move.
"There are a lot of mitigating aspects to my client's childhood that I wished (Dumanis) to consider," Ostbye said.
Vista is 30 miles northwest of downtown San Diego.
