California man faces life sentence for killing 8 in salon

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A California man faces life in prison at his sentencing for killing his ex-wife and seven others at the hair salon where she worked. Scott Dekraai (deh-KREYE'), a 47-year-old former tugboat operator, is scheduled to be sentenced Friday in Orange County. Dekraai pleaded guilty in 2014 to eight counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. His case has dragged on for years due to a scandal over authorities' use of informants to cull information from Dekraai and others housed in the county's jails. Prosecutors wanted Dekraai sentenced to death for opening fire in the Seal Beach salon in 2011.
