Michael Gargiulo and his crimes and sentence

Michael, 43 who is an Illinois native was found guilty on 15 August 2019 of two murders and one attempted murder. In 2001, Michael killed Ashton Kutcher’s ex-girlfriend Ashley Ellerin. He stabbed her 47 times. Years before this murder, he killed Maria Bruno, 32. He had also tried to murder Michelle Murphy, 26. The police took Michael into custody in 2008 and he has been in the prison since the day of his arrest.

He was married to another woman when the police arrested him. But she divorced him in 2009.

Ashton Kutcher appeared as a witness in this case in May 2019. He had said that he noticed red wine spilled on the floor of the house of his ex-girlfriend as he looked through the glass window inside. The investigation agency later found out that this red liquid was the blood of Ashton Kutcher’s girlfriend who Michael had already killed.

The prosecutors are trying to get a death sentence for Michael Gargiulo. After he finishes with this trial, he has to face another one in Chicago.
