VIDEO – NOT ENOUGH YEARS –
Oct. 29, 2025 – Jurors deliberated 2 1/2 days before finding David Brian Pearce guilty of the two murder charges stemming from the deaths of 24-year-old model and aspiring actress Christy Giles and her 26-year-old friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, who were taken to separate hospitals about two hours apart on Nov. 13, 2021. Giles was already dead when she was taken to Southern California Hospital in Culver City, while Cabrales-Arzola, an architect, was alive outside Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Hospital but in critical condition. Her family took her off life support later that month, a day before her 27th birthday. The seven-man, five-woman jury also found Pearce guilty of three counts of forcible rape, two counts of sexual penetration by use of force and one count each of rape of an unconscious person and sodomy by use of force — with all of the sexual assault charges involving crimes against seven women between 2007 and 2020.
