Accused trashcan killer appears in court
Issac Campbell, accused of killing his girlfriend, stuffing her body in a trashcan and dumping the can in a friend's backyard appeared in court in Alhambra Friday ostensibly to enter a plea in the case.
There was no plea. Instead there was some in chambers discussions about the case, before Campbell was removed from court and returned to jail.
Campbell is accused fo killing Liya Jessie Lu, a nursing student who he met at PCC. Lu's family and friends have been following the case closely in both the local Chinese media and through the PCC student newspaper.

This guy is a real scumbag! He should get a lethal injection for sure to put him out of his misery.
What a total loser! Stuffing a poor innocent girls lifeless body into a trash can. No doubt about it, he's a real macho man, NOT!
Kiss your life goodbye as you knew it Mr. Campbell, and I use the term Mr. loosely.
I hope they give this guy life in prison so he can take it (EDITED) everyday and think about what he did.
His latest hearing was 2/28/08. What transpired?

i have met this guy before. he is a freakin weirdo. why jessie was with him is beyond me. may you rip jessie.
So didnt his trial start on the 10th or something??? Update would be nice! Thanks Frank
i met him in jail after he got deported back to california, pitchess detention centre. Hes weird to say the least. How can i find out more about the case??
I knew Issac for almost 10 years and I was shocked when I heard he committed this horrible crime. I still find myself wanting to confront him and demand an answer as to why he murdered Liya.
My sympathies go out to Liya's family and friends.
