Scott Dekraai, the man charged with killing eight people in a Seal Beach salon, allegedly bragged about the deed in a series of secret jail cell recordings by investigators.
As first reported by the Orange County Register, authorities obtained more than 100 hours of recordings from Dekraai’s jail cell, and now a judge must decide if the tapes can be used in the death penalty trial for the alleged mass murderer.
