Two men arrested last year in the deaths of model Christy Giles and her architect friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola have now been charged with murder, rape and accessory after the fact charges by the Los Angeles County District Attorney.
“I recognize that these charges are a small consolation to the friends and family members of Ms. Arzola and Ms. Giles,” D.A. George Gascón said today in a downtown press conference officially announcing the new charges against David Pearce and Brandt Osborn. “And although we know nothing can bring these daughters and friends back to us, I promise that my office will do everything in its power to hold those that harmed them accountable,” LA County’s top prosecutor added of the complaint filed on June 24 by Deputy D.A. Catherine Mariano (read it here).
Looking at multiple rape and drug charges, as well as two counts of murder, the incarcerated Pearce could face life in prison if found guilty. The still free Osborn is facing up to three years behind bars if found guilty on the two felony charges of seeking to “harbor, conceal, and aid” Pearce. Both men are set to be in LA Superior Court downtown on July 11 for arraignment. Pearce is expected to plead not guilty.
Left outside West LA hospitals by masked men in mid-November 2021, Giles was pronounced dead at the scene, while Cabrales-Arzola was taken off life support on November 27 at the request of her family. The duo had last been seen alive in an apartment in the Pico- Robertson neighborhood earlier on November 13, 2021.
Facing outrage and demands for action from Giles and Cabrales-Arzola’s grieving families, the somewhat newly minted D.A. and the LAPD picked up Pearce, Osborn and Michael Ansbach in mid-December last year. Aspiring actor
