Long Beach Man Sentenced To 433 Years In Prison For Assaults by Ryan ZumMallen | Archive | 08.30.10 |
+ 4:00pm | Today, a 45-year old Long Beach man was sentenced to 433 years in prison and 11 additional life sentences for six assaults and robberies in Long Beach and Hawaiian Gardens. Each of Charles Juan Proctor's victims were women, two of whom survived having their throats slashed. Jurors deliberated just two and a half hours after a five-day trial that ended in conviction on August 13. "Justice has been served," said Carol Rose, the Deputy District Attorney who prosecuted the case out of the Long Beach Branch. Rose spoke to the LBPOST.com this afternoon. "I couldn't ask for more," she said. "Well, I did ask for more but I think this is an incredibly fair sentence. The victims will certainly feel some sense of satisfaction by the sense that he was essentially maxed out." Proctor was convicted on August 13 of five counts of robbery, three counts each of kidnap for robbery, false imprisonment and burglary, two counts each of attempted murder and mayhem, and one count each of attempted robbery, attempted kidnap for robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and assault. His attacks focused on women who were alone and working in shops. Four of the attacks occurred in downtown Long Beach in late April 2008, followed by one similar attack in Hawaiian Gardens. He slashed the neck of one woman who suffered a four-inch wound and stab wounds to the neck and head, and the next day slit the throat of another woman, both of whom survived. Proctor was also ordered to pay $57,790 for the victims' medical expenses and $10,000 to the state victims' restitution fund. "It's fair to say that all of them have been emotionally distraught by this, that they have nightmares and new fears they've developed. But the fact that he's put away will certainly help them with their healing process." After four previous assaults in just a few short days, Proctor robbed and kidnap a woman in downtown Long Beach and was arrested in Las Vegas for trespassing two days later. Rose said that Proctor was connected to the crimes by DNA evidence, fingerprints, eyewitness information and surveillance video.

Belmont Bob Well, it looks like maybe there is justice! CHARLIE Wait till his real judgement day arrives - Oh oh Birdman of long beach The afternoon this woman got her throat cut. Me and my pitbull Babygirl was sitting directly across from her bridal shop front door and didnt have a clue what was going on inside or we would of tried to take the guy out. Shes the toughest and sweetest lady I ever met. And she went back to work the same day her throat was cut with about 25 staples in her neck. She told me if she hadent went back to work that day she might of been afraid to walk in her own shop again. A couple months went by and she said the police never once stopped in to see if she was okay or give her any updates on imformation they might of had concerning the assault or anything. I seen a story in the paper awhile after she was assaulted and it sounded alot like the guy she described to me. I stopped in her shop and gave her the newspaper clipping since no one else was giving her any imformation. And I do hope it was this guy and it helped her in her search for him. Remember this great lady when you need a bridal shop. She is on the corner of 8th. & long beach blvd. same side as McDonalds and you will just love dealing with this magnificiant woman. vicious Wonderful, now he's going to the prison resort where he's going to have better tv, recreation, free food, medical care you can only dream of, dental care, eye care paid by the taxpayers, brand name prescriptions, something is wrong with this picture. No wonder all these thugs commit crimes to get them in to the resort. And this is only a small portion of what they get...all they should get is a bed and 4 walls. vicious future cellmate Hey Vicious, hurry up and screw up so we can show you what you will get when you join the party with us in prison.
