Beneath the model is a label bearing Solomon's name his identification and cell number and the address for San Quentin. Undated it appears to have been created around 1995. An African American Vietnam veteran who worked as a handyman in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento California Morris Solomon Jr. was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder two counts of second-degree murder and five sexual assaults over the course of a year starting in 1986. Five of the victims were found buried outside the homes where Solomon lived or worked while the sixth was "discovered" by Solomon in a closet at a house where he had been working. At Solomon's sentencing Sacramento Superior Court Judge Peter Mering added on a sentence of 95 years to life to make certain Solomon could never win release if his death sentence was overturned. "I can imagine no one whose release would be more terrifying to the community of Sacramento than Mr. Solomon" the judge said. Solomon's conviction was affirmed by the California Supreme Court on July 15 2010. He remains on death row at San Quentin. unknown books
