In Ventura, a jury recommended the death penalty for Vincent Sanchez, 32, a serial rapist and convicted killer of a 20-year-old college student. He is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 2 by Superior Court Judge Ken Riley. The jury last month convicted Sanchez of 1st-degree murder, kidnapping and attempted rape in the July 2001 slaying of Megan Barroso. Sanchez admitted killing Barroso, but denied raping her. He also pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a dozen women in Simi Valley between 1996 and 2001.
