Description
One of the most notorious child killers in San Diego has been transferred off of death row at San Quentin.
David Westerfield's death sentence remains in place for the 2002 murder of Danielle van Dam, but he's now being housed at a general population prison in Northern California.
When a jury found Westerfield guilty of kidnapping and murdering the 7-year-old girl, crowds cheered outside the downtown courthouse.
“There was an enormous expression of relief and celebration that justice had been done,” said former San Diego County District Attorney, Paul Pfingst.
Westerfield was transferred on March 12 from San Quentin to the High Desert State Prison in Susanville, California.
