Richard Davis
Richard Allen Davis (born June 2, 1954) is a convicted rapist and
murderer, whose criminal record fueled support for passage of
California's "Three strikes law" for repeat offenders. He is currently
on death row in San Quentin State Prison, California.

Polly Klaas
He was convicted in 1996 of first-degree murder and four special
circumstances (robbery, burglary, kidnapping and a lewd act on a
child) of 12-year-old Polly Klaas. Klaas was abducted October 1, 1993,
from her Petaluma, California, home.

Davis At Sentencing
A San Jose, California, Superior Court jury recommended the death
sentence for Davis on August 5, 1996. After the verdict was read,
Davis stood and made an obscene gesture at the courtroom with both
hands. Later, at his formal sentencing, Davis read a statement
claiming that Klaas had said to Davis "Just don’t do me like my Dad"
just before Davis killed her, implying that Klaas' father was a child
molester.

Polly Klaas' Father
Klaas' father reacted angrily and left the courtroom to avoid
causing further commotion, and the judge proceeded with the formality
of the death sentence, saying that it should never be easy to sentence
a human to death, but that "your (Davis') behavior today made it very
easy."
