L.A. man convicted in drug overdose deaths of two women, serial rapes

Christy Giles is one of the 2021 victims of David Pearce, who was convicted Tuesday of two counts of murder and seven counts of sexual assault after a trial in downtown Los Angeles. They were very respectable women who met the wrong man,” Dusty Giles said, describing Pearce as a “monster.” Jurors could not reach a verdict against co-defendant Brandt Osborn, Pearce’s roommate, who faced two charges of being an accessory to murder. Pearce’s attorney, Jeff Voll, said after the verdict that he was not surprised by the sexual assault convictions but did not believe prosecutors had presented enough evidence to prove the murder charges. California Women met him in an L.A. rave’s ‘drug room.’ He says their deaths weren’t his fault David Pearce took the stand in his own defense Tuesday to deny committing multiple rapes and say he did everything he could to try to save two women who prosecutors allege died after ingesting drugs at his apartment in 2021. “’Dead girls don’t talk,’” Pearce said, according to Ansbach’s testimony.
