Lonnie D. Franklin Jr., the suspected Grim Sleeper serial murder suspect, is being held at Los Angeles County's Men's Central Jail in Downtown Los Angeles. Franklin is a "K-10" or "high-powered" inmate which means he is kept away from the general prison population because of the notoriety of his alleged crimes.
He was attacked in court on Friday, July 9th by convicted murderer Antonio Rodriguez who may have been trying to earn credibility points with other inmates according to his attorney.
