Gerald Armond Gallego: A Detailed Account of His Crimes

Early Life and Background

Gerald Armond Gallego was born on July 17, 1946, in Sacramento, California. His upbringing was tumultuous; his mother was a sex worker, and his estranged father was a criminal who became the first man executed in Mississippi's gas chamber in 1955 for killing a police officer during a prison escape. Throughout his formative years, Gerald faced constant physical abuse from his mother's various boyfriends, creating a foundation for his future criminal behavior.

Criminal Partnership with Charlene Gallego

In September 1977, Gerald met Charlene Adell Williams, a woman ten years his junior, in a Sacramento poker club.
