Franklin has pleaded not guilty to killing nine women and a 15-year-old girl between 1985 and 2007 in one of the city's most notorious serial killer cases. The "Grim Sleeper" nickname was coined because of an apparent 14-year gap in the murders between 1988 and 2002. Franklin's attorney, Seymour Amster, is set to deliver his opening statement to jurors on Monday, March 21, 2016. (Al Seib/Los Angeles Times via AP, Pool, File)
