Today, Michael Morales was supposed to be executed in California for killing Terri Lynn Winchell in 1981. Ricky Ortega, I believe was a Jehovah's Witness and was secretly having a sexual affair with Terri's boyfriend. He enlisted his cousin Michael, to kill Terri. I was living in Stockton California at the time and remembered how shocked people were to hear about Ricky. I did meet him once, not through church or anything, but found him to be full of himself, so I excused myself from his group and left.
He could have been a JW in good standing even though he was gay. Hello, most gays at that time were living secret lives for fear of being found out.
