Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard Toohey sentenced Waymon Livingston, 29, black, to death. He followed a March 20 (see) jury’s recommendation.  Livingston was convicted of strangling and raping Ana Gonzalez, 21, in 2007. The woman was 1 of at least 6 victims. Through Dna Livingston was linked to three cases of rape, and one of sexual assault.
