SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Late on the evening of April 18, 1974, a deranged killer, Angelo Pavageau, broke in to the Potrero Hill home of Frank and Annette Carlson, and committed what is still regarded as one of the most brutal and violent crimes in the history of the city. While Pavageau was originally sentenced to death, in 1976, the sentence was reduced to life in prison with parole when the Supreme Court determined the death penalty to be unconstitutional. Now, 49 years later, the killer is being considered for release at his 18th parole hearing on April 25 at 8:30 AM, even though no decision makers were involved in the sentence reduction.
