Death Penalty Case Study: John Ghobrial

Child Killer John Ghobrial

As California voters decide whether to side with the ACLU and other liberal special interests to get rid of the death penalty, the No on 34 campaign continues its profiles of the “worst of the worst” convicted murderers on death row. Here is another killer who would be spared if Proposition 34 passes in November.

 

John Ghobrial lured 12-year-old Juan Delgado, a La Habra sixth grade student, to his death in 1998. After befriending the boy, he killed him in a backyard shed, then tried to cover up the crime by dismembering the body with a meat cleaver. He then encased the body parts in blocks of concrete that were scattered about the neighborhood. The shed was later found to contain pornographic magazines along with bags of cement.

 

Ghobrial was accused of molesting a relative before emigrating from Egypt. He was convicted and sentenced to the death penalty in 2002.

  1. Dearest Marc,

    Thank you for being the voice of those who can no longer speak in their own voices? ( The Victims!) Although I have not personally had to suffer at the hands of these merciless, evil physycotic’s, I wanted to extend my gratitude to you for helping me decide how to vote on California’s prop’s 34 and 36. NO on prop 34 and 36! I was seriously thinking of voting yes. Something nagged at me to check your website. I ‘m so glad I did. You were able to shed light on many hidden points that I didn’t know about. I would also like to extend my DEEPEST condolences on the loss of your precious Polly! Your sacrifice has come at a cost NO parent ever wants to even imagine, even briefly!

    May God bless you and bring you the “PEACE” that passeth all understanding.

    Sincerely,
    Marla Kindred
