A chilling case of serial murder has once again shaken the nation, as an elderly man has been convicted for a third time of committing a gruesome crime. 73-year-old Richard Evonitz, a man with a history of violent behavior, was found guilty of the 2002 murder of 9-year-old Carissa Chandler in Virginia. This conviction marks the third time Evonitz has been found guilty of murder, with previous convictions in 1996 and 1980. The case has raised concerns about the justice system's ability to protect society from repeat offenders and the need for stricter sentencing laws to prevent such crimes from happening in the future.
