Daniel Wozniak, Actor Accused of Gruesome Double Murder, Could Face Death Penalty

SANTA ANA, Calif. (CBS/AP) If prosecutors get their way, Daniel Wozniak, the Orange County stage actor accused of beheading a neighbor, scattering his limbs in a park and killing the victim's friend, will face the death penalty.

The district attorney's office said Thursday that the 26-year-old is eligible for the death penalty because the crimes involve multiple murders and murder for financial gain.

Prosecutors allege that on May 21 Wozniak killed Samuel Herr to steal his money, and then lured Juri Kibuishi to Herr's apartment via a text message.

Wozniak allegedly murdered the 23-year-old woman to make it look like Herr had raped and killed her.

It's been reported Wozniak was arrested during his own bachelor party at a Huntington Beach, Calif. restaurant.

Authorities say they arrested him after a 17-year-old boy tried to use Herr's ATM card on Wozniak's instructions.
