SACRAMENTO, Calif. The man accused of strangling the California serial killer known as the “I-5 Strangler” won’t face the death penalty, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Amador County District Attorney Todd Riebe said he had filed first-degree murder charges against Jason Budrow and will seek a sentence of life in prison without possibility of parole, the Sacramento Bee reported.

At the time, Budrow told a reporter for Press Enterprise that she “had to die” because she was a police informant.

Budrow said he committed the murder in order to get his own cell, as well as avenging the deaths of Kibbe’s victims. Budrow said in his letter to The Mercury News that he believes Kibbe’s victim’s souls “have been released from the possession of their killer and I pray that they now rest in peace.” Budrow wrote in his letter that he did not fear the consequences for murdering Kibbe either; even if prosecutors pursued the death penalty.
