LOS ANGELES - A former Lancaster state prison inmate awaiting trial on charges he murdered his prison cellmate has been charged with murdering another inmate at a downtown Los Angeles jail.
Kurt Karcher, who already was serving a life sentence for murdering an Orange County lawyer, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to strangling fellow jail inmate Edgar Jimenez at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, where Karcher had been sent May 18 to await his trial in the Lancaster prison slaying.
Karcher, 39, is charged separately with murder in the March 2006 strangulation of prison inmate Scott Manning at California State Prison-Los Angeles County in Lancaster, where Karcher was serving time for the Orange County murder.
Each of the criminal complaints in the two new murder cases cites Karcher's Orange County murder conviction, which could now make him eligible for the death penalty.
Karcher was sentenced in an Orange County court in 1993 to life in prison without the possibility of parole for robbing and strangling a lawyer who had paid him for sex.
